Coco: Must See
The “good” Pixar returns by doing what it does best…not making sequels and going with something original! I haven’t seen anything they’ve done worth a crap since Inside Out but I have better expectations with The Incredibles 2 because Brad Bird is … Continue reading

Roy Wood Jr.
Last comedy show of the year and it’s with another great wit from The Daily Show. You probably know Roy as the current Senior Black Correspondent who’s had funny positions about the NFL and HBO’s possible Confederacy show. The club must’ve … Continue reading
The Powerpuff Girls grown up
Someone at WizWorld had this T-shirt. I liked it even if it’s a bit disturbing. My favorite superhero sisters look more back-up dancers but I have a feeling if they did become adults, the ladies would find a way to … Continue reading
New exercise streak achieved!
Today I set a new record via my Apple Watch, as it says above, I have achieved my Exercise and Move goals for 13 days in a row for the first time. The last goal accomplished was 12 days via … Continue reading
Michael Rooker
Michael has been a frequent guest of Austin’s WizWorld but I decided to finally meet him because I seriously enjoyed his portrayal of Earle from The Walking Dead. At the beginning, he was a cartoon character, the redneck racist sowing discord … Continue reading

Ninjago: Worth Seeing, more than a crass commercial
This was Somara’s pick at the discount theater. I was reluctant because I’ve watched some of the TV version on Cartoon Network and it’s boring. It’s an extended toy commercial worse than the Eighties crap which didn’t even try to … Continue reading

Finally! I got the gold sevens on my Activity app
The reason why this award on my iPhone/Apple Watch eluded me is that a “week” by the devices’ definition is Monday through Sunday. Either way, harnessing the Workout app while on the bike, I will be on my way to … Continue reading
WKRP Reunion!
It’s time to start showing off all my WizWorld encounters for 2017! Kicking matters off are two stars from the well-loved, nostalgic SitCom WKRP Cincinnati with Lonnie Anderson on my right (this was her break-out role) and Howard Hesseman on my … Continue reading
Let’s hope this is it for the 21st Century…
…or to paraphrase Homer Simpson, “The worst two mornings of the 21st Century so far.” Given the idiocy and naked corruption we’ve seen so far, I think there will be a third date for when North Korea plants a nuclear … Continue reading
Justice League:…just boring and unnecessary
When it comes to the big two superhero comic book companies, I have leaned toward DC since college. Hard to believe there was a time when DC’s movies were better too (Richard Donner’s 1978 Superman remains one of the best). Now … Continue reading
The new “alarm clock”
I recently won an iMac at work. Not a bad model at all. It would be nice to utilize the computer in some fashion beyond being an alarm clock but we just lack the space and time. So I cleared … Continue reading
Welcome December
I was a tad absent-minded on implementing the obvious changes on my site Friday. Again, it slipped my mind which was annoying, I had the snowy header ready to go. A little nod to the horrible weather I left behind … Continue reading
Planet of the Apes shirt!
One horrible habit I have at WizWorld is acquiring cool shirts of franchises I will never see at Hot Topic or find easily online. An upside is retiring other, older, existing shirts which no longer amuse me. This gem is … Continue reading
MST3K renewed for another season!
I know it’s old news. Joel and the gang announced it on Thanksgiving during the traditional marathon via a Shout stream, I think. Let’s hear it for Netflix and its mystery algorithm that can determine whether or not to continue … Continue reading
