It: Worth Seeing
Another second-chance opportunity we got through the local discount theater near work. Economist said it was one of the top ten financially successful movies this year and a rare non-sequel/franchise too. Could’ve fooled me, it didn’t stay at our Alamos for … Continue reading
One ring to roll them all!
We had a White Elephant gift exchange at work today. Just a little something amongst my team. I went with something humorous from the discount bin at Toys R Us, I figured there were a slug of unsold Emoji Movie junk…oddly, … Continue reading
Where’s my muuuuuuuuuug?
A very awesome gift from my friends out East! A Lego-compatible mug that I need to decorate later. Currently, I have the Where’s-My-Pants guy on the side looking for his recently pressed slacks.
A real ET…that’s a rock
Sorry I wasn’t very timely on Oumuamua’s passing by the earth but I was excited about our Astronomers finally discovering and confirming an object passing through our solar system that didn’t originate “here.” According NPR stories, Oumuamua on now hurtling on its … Continue reading

Quadruple movement achieved
Could’ve sworn I’ve done this before but it turns out, I haven’t until last night. I pulled it off by hitting the gym to do my big workout on a Saturday, then normal stuff and concluding with a lot of … Continue reading
The Last Jedi: MUST SEE!
NO SPOILERS…SO RELAX! The saga picks up shortly after the end of The Force Awakens as Rey meets exiled Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, obviously asking him to train her because the Force appears to be strong in her. Meanwhile, General Leia … Continue reading
A Shinchan mug! Ass-drink! Ass-drink!
A very funny and awesome gift from my friend/co-worker Ayako. She was recently in Japan to visit her family. She said she spotted this, thought of me and brought it back. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Shinchan, … Continue reading
Rest in Peace Pat DiNizio
I was really saddened to see the sudden blurb on my FaceBook feed this Tuesday night (December 12) about Pat’s passing. Even though I knew about his recent injury, I never would’ve guessed he was in ill health. When the … Continue reading
Farewell AIM (America Online Instant Messenger)
Tomorrow we say goodbye to AIM. Twenty years of existence is a millennium given the turnover with technology these days. Until cell phones with SMS messaging became ubiquitous, AIM was the way to communicate with friends and family. Now it’s FaceBook…if … Continue reading
A place of honor for my butt
A perk for being a season-ticket holder is getting a nameplate on the seat I’ve had with our hockey team for seven of their nine seasons. First season, I was in the seat behind this one and last season, we … Continue reading
Welcome Aliyah
Aliyah was born last week and is the daughter of my ex-roommate and co-worker Garrett. In this picture she looks pretty exhausted but then again, being born is not a small feat. I hope to meet her in the near … Continue reading
Felicia Day
Cool opportunity to meet “Dr. Kinga Forrester” from the new Mystery Science Theater 3000. Most of you all probably know Felicia from The Guild which is on Netflix (and I need to watch it) or that Dr. Horrible thing Joss Whedon did during the … Continue reading
Green Arrow! On a shirt
My second T-Shirt acquisition from WizWorld. Before he was a poor-man’s Batman via Arrow on the CW, Green Arrow was Batman, Green Lantern and Hawkman’s Liberal foil. I wish DC Comics would bring back the Errol Flynn-influenced look Neal Adams gave … Continue reading
December 2017 achievement!
Another fitness award achieved. This one is granted by the Activity application if you exercise at least 15 minutes for nine days. Technically, I should have received this yesterday because I only skipped last Wednesday. The stupid battery on my … Continue reading
Bob Ross and his Brush Fu!
I am a little tired of all the jokes and kitsch surrounding the Bob Ross revival, this shirt was very funny.
