RIP Adam West

Posted on June 11, 2017 by Steve

Pretty sad news over this weekend regarding the man who was the first Batman I knew as a little kid. By then Batman was being shown through syndication for afternoon TV. It was so inspirational that my brother and friends often … Continue reading →

Posted on June 8, 2017 by Steve

It’s about time they got DC’s third longest-running character on the big screen. I readily admit, doing Wonder Woman well has always been a challenge. Unlike Batman and Superman, this character has undergone several major reboots in her comic book. Originally, Diana shows … Continue reading →

Mwah ha ha! Thanks Jones Soda

Posted on June 5, 2017 by Steve

The good news…Jones Soda can be found at the local HEBs again. Not in four packs but by the bottle for about a buck each. The bad news…still offering bad advice! Seriously, I’m a rather vivid, part-loud character. I doubt … Continue reading →

Colossal: Worth Seeing

Posted on June 4, 2017 by Steve

This was a great new take on the kaiju genre, although in my limited knowledge, I’m sure the premise Colossal uses has been done before. I just never saw it in the hours of Ultraman, Johnny Sokko (sic), Spectreman, etc. The premise? It’s shown … Continue reading →

Let’s hear it for Wonder Woman

Posted on June 1, 2017 by Steve

Technically, Diana’s 75th birthday was last year because her comic book debut was 1941 but let’s just say it took a while for comics to get distributed plus DC is doing all the cool stuff this June. She’s also a … Continue reading →

The work cat got “retired”

Posted on June 1, 2017 by Steve

Ran into the guy in charge of my work’s landscaping, mentioned how I haven’t seen “Gypsy” lately. He told me she was removed from the grounds because she was getting too comfortable around people. I guess this made her less … Continue reading →

Happy Birthday Nemo

Posted on June 1, 2017 by Steve

Our cat Nemo is celebrating his 15th birthday (75 for a human). It’s rather odd to have him be the oldest cat. It feels like yesterday when he was the youngest in 2002. Nemo is the only cat we’ve shared … Continue reading →
