New temporary assignment at work
Recently, I got told I would be loaned to another department to help out and it’s something I’m actually looking forward to. I can’t remember if it will last three or six months. Either way, it’s pretty exciting because it … Continue reading
Child’s Play (2019): Disappointment
Horror movie number two for October and on schedule since Midsommar should’ve been written/posted before or during the weekend. I saw the original Child’s Play on cable while I was home from university (1989). I thought it was OK then because I … Continue reading
Raven (maybe) using the building acoustics to warn others?
Heard this weird cawing on my way into the gym. Thankfully, I got a repeat instead of the bird clamming up like animals often do when they know they’re being recorded!
RIP Robert Forster
A shame to see Robert go but at least the last 22 years of his career were amazing after spending the previous 18 or so in the movie-making ghetto (direct-to-video, craptacular horror stuff, etc.). Giving underrated actors a second act is … Continue reading
Behind on timeliness…again
Profuse apologies again. I got sidetracked by life, the divorce and just general fatigue. Now I’m beating down another cold thanks to the temperature plummeting 10° C (2o° F) over last weekend. Thus, I contract a sore throat and fever. … Continue reading
My avatar met avatar Gritty! Hockey season is in full swing!
Thank you Citizen Brick, a customized LEGO minifigure and accessory site based in Chicago for creating the Gritty toy!
It’s Pizza Time!
A cute chalk drawing at the Domino’s Pizza near my house.
RIP: Rip Taylor
Thankfully Rip was appreciated again before he passed, namely his appearance on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. He had a few laughs this year as people mistakenly thought he died when Rip Torn did. Regardless of the decade, I loved … Continue reading
RIP: Ginger Baker
I may be rather critical of Classic Rock and its icons but Ginger Baker is one of the few who ever received my wrath. Without his incredible drumming skills, Cream wouldn’t have been as impressive and thus, launched that racist … Continue reading
Trip to Big D to see Hoser & Nancy 2019!
The Green Bay Packers came to Dallas for the first time in six years, I think, and so Hoser and Nancy let me come up to visit. I made assurances to Nancy that I wasn’t up to spread the gospel … Continue reading
Midsommar: Acquired Taste
I can do this for October, review Horror Movies since I managed to see multiple flicks of this genre to highlight one each week, Midsommar is a little late. Holy Crap! This movie was probably the best Horror/Thriller I’ve seen … Continue reading
Stars lose their first opener
Not bad for a relatively new team, our streak of ten years came to an end with a 0-2 loss to the Roadrunners. I wasn’t terribly upset since the first official game of the season isn’t a true indicator of … Continue reading
Flyers win their opener in Prague!
Bettman’s continued gamble to make inroads on Putin’s private little league, the KHL, another set of teams opened their season in a European country which loves hockey. This time in Prague and with two teams that are not rivals, mine … Continue reading
100,000 Calories!
I achieved this milestone on the in-door bike at the gym today! It only took a couple years and sadly, I’m still overweight! If I remember my Chemistry, I have produced enough energy to raise 100,000 grams of water 1° … Continue reading
Funny, Chinese knockoff LEGO® Star Wars® set and gift
A friend at work who knew how much I love LEGOs scored this hilarious Chinese knockoff as a prize to give me. As the picture above shows, I don’t think the pirates behind it were even trying! I’m guessing they’re … Continue reading
