End of a long week
This week was a huge let down in the intelligent, educated (ergo, Librul) parts of Texas. The twin specters of the entrenched Confederacy and lazy non-voters handed my adopted home another four yeas of tyranny under the Republicans. They don’t … Continue reading
This month’s header, They Live turns 30
Given our current state of affairs, it’s only appropriate to celebrate John Carpenter’s social commentary masterpiece, released on this day. The header took a little work to get it to work and I found this anti-Trump one weeks ago. No … Continue reading

King of the Hill “returns” on Hulu!
After the show suddenly disappeared from Netflix without any warning, Mike Judge’s masterpiece about life in Central Texas returns! I will probably start from the beginning once I’ve finished Adventure Time.
Culture Club with Tom Bailey
Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. It’s…you went to see Boy George this Summer? Really? I went for two other reasons. The first was this show being a joint trip with my friend and co-worker Ayako who likes Culture Club. … Continue reading
RIP Norm Breyfogle
Norm passed away a couple months ago but he’s worth mentioning because his Batman comics were a big part of my life when I was a collector. His style was very loose with the cape flowing when Batman was jumping … Continue reading
Get ready for the deluge of the recent past!
Even before I contracted pneumonia, I was pretty behind on numerous stories, namely all these recent concerts I’ve been attending since Summer, plus a couple movies (which has slowed down my movie attendance as punishment) and what have you. But … Continue reading
New shirt from WizWorld #3: MST3K with the ‘bots!
Just in time for the upcoming live MST3K performances at the Paramount this Sunday! I got my new shirt featuring everyone’s favorite wisecracking robots Crow and Tom Servo! I also can’t wait for the new episodes that will be released … Continue reading
My car gave me a good scare
My Prius has optional screens to show different kinds of data via the dashboard. Whenever I’m on the last couple dashes of gas, I tend to set it to the view displaying how many miles the computer thinks I have … Continue reading
New York Achieved!
I made it to the second milestone today via in-door bike! Not too late given my previous bout of pneumonia and lethargic mornings. I also bumped up my caloric goal to 570 (aka the red ring on my Watch), minimal … Continue reading
Austin remains under the boil warning
Last time I checked, we remain under the three-minute boil order as all the water from the recent rains work their way through the local lakes, rivers, etc. Above is a photo of the problem when it got close to … Continue reading
Rest in Peace Brian Dyorich
While I was away recuperating, my long-time co-worker and friend Brian passed away during surgery. I received the sad news from our fellow co-worker Troy (he’s the guy on the left in the photo above) while I was headed to … Continue reading
Spent some time resting
After losing the first couple weeks to pneumonia and its recovery, I decided to take most of the month off, relax, do some more reading, more sleeping, more living…well, working. I will also use the time between now and next … Continue reading
Austin: Boiling water alert
My Watch notified me of this first then it was stated on KUT during my morning commute. I’ve lived in Austin for over 24 years and we’ve had numerous times in which there was a deluge of rain but never … Continue reading
Mostly recovered and digging out
Spent another week recuperating and a follow-up with the clinic. I was definitely on the mend, all that remained was getting decent rest and re-hydrating. I also shoo’d away my snowflake aunt who had no moral superiority to stand on … Continue reading
Been super sick and still super sick
What began as just sore joints (all of them) that I thought I could sleep off while taking it easy…transformed into something much, much worse and it’s a total pain in the ass. The doctor took blood work and x-rays … Continue reading
