June 2015 was the record holder at 58
Let’s hear it for boredom again as it helped me get cracking on writing new stuff for my site. Namely my backlog of reviews for movies and TV. Or would it be the Pandemic banning me from going to Alamo … Continue reading
My rebuttal to NeoLiberal panhandling
Yesterday I received this in the mail since the smug Sen. Foot-in-Mouth believes he is the Democratic nominee by default as reality is catching up; the sexual harassment accusation, the outing of who is advising (now show us your true … Continue reading
Missing section of Bayeux Tapestry found!
It seems that William the Conqueror had a lesser-known half brother named Earl Knievel who succeeded in jumping over 200 Anglo-Saxon defenders with his horse.
Road to Perdition
When you think of Tom Hanks, I don’t think Road to Perdition readily comes to mind because he’s been so likable for several decades. Therefore him playing a regional gangster’s muscle was a stretch with audiences. I really wanted to see … Continue reading

New fridge at Chez Maggi
I hope the 1990 version of me never finds about how 2020 version of me was stoked over this new fridge. Admittedly, I did some shopping online to compare and came upon this one because I love the door on … Continue reading
You: two seasons
In light of Pandemic Theater, I chose to add to the other element involved with getting through the boredom but let’s face it, binge watching was something we were already doing years ago. Netflix and other streaming services didn’t invent it … Continue reading
A Sunday project mostly completed
Today I put together an interim desk to get through this crap. I dislike working from home but if I have to, well at least I have decent gear. Doing my job with this will be much easier than from … Continue reading
First physical 100 miles by bike achieved!
On the weekends, I push the distance envelope with my (relatively) new bicycle. The long-term goal is to ride from my house to my job, approximately 7.5 miles one way or 15 total. When this shit show ends, the plan … Continue reading
Moronavirus outbreak happened again this weekend
Once again, con artist and bullshitter Alex Jones got his Ammosexuals and dupes riled up to make their moronic demands at the Capitol. It’s a downside of Austin, right along with all the dickweeds wearing Ron Paul shirts. I’ve concluded … Continue reading
The Art of Self Defense
If this was supposed to be a Dark Comedy, they really skimped on it. Art is more accurately, a weird Drama or Thriller with a touch of Comedy. I still watched it to the conclusion waiting for the payoff which was … Continue reading
My new portable for 2020
Got a new portable to assist my existing MacBook Pro I tend to do the majority of Maggi Picayune on. I was finally impressed by the features and price point by the MacBook Air, it’s what I decided to make Bugs … Continue reading
My cat Agamemnon likes Chef Boyardee sauce
I had a lazy lunch today, my favorite since 1988, a can of Chef Boyardee Ravioli…as is. Now I’m accustomed to Aggie liking canned chili but the rather sweet sauce drowning the dozen ravioli was a surprise because cats allegedly can’t … Continue reading
Finally got a mask
My cousin Dana made these bitchin’ masks which come in handy because they’re now mandatory until further notice in Travis County and Austin proper. It gets the job done. How? Not just cutting back the spread of CV-19 but it … Continue reading
