Today, my new roof (for my house) is being installed
A momentous day for Chez Maggi. I’m finally getting the original roof replaced. It was overdue because we all know today’s home builders just slap on something mediocre and it wasn’t meant to last more than a decade let alone … Continue reading
Stop-motion building of the ultimate Falcon
Here’s something to brighten your Sunday. This guy did a stop-motion movie of him building the UCS Millennium Falcon, aka, the one LEGO® set in which the famous starship is to scale! The biggest set ever offered and the one I … Continue reading
Our concert plans for the rest of 2020
Given all the concerts we (Jennifer and I) had planned, I think this mock ticket is more accurate. I know all of my shows were rescheduled but one. I need to double check on Jennifer’s. At least one was in … Continue reading
Another cat participating in safety
This kitty knows he isn’t allowed to go any further into the building unless he passes a temperature check.
This cat is more helpful than my governor
I’m even more impressed by the cat’s owner/human in how they found one patient enough to wear the outfit. Even dogs are more cooperative.
Finally some mainstream truth-telling about Hamilton
Whenever Broadway has a new show that isn’t derived from an Eighties movie or any other decade, I’m thrilled. It is hard to get an original idea to take off in any media these days because too many accountants are … Continue reading
Austin/Travis County will soon be screwed, thanks Gov. Shitbag
Yesterday, my adopted home area exceeded 70 new CV-19 hospitalizations which means we should be implementing something called Stage 5: everything non-essential is shut down or brought to a halt. As much as that sucks, I agree with the experts … Continue reading
Dutch Cheetos with a little dig at ‘Murica
Spotted by Jeremy over there in the Netherlands. I’m guessing this is their equivalent of my favorite, Cheetos. Obviously, our marketing and association doesn’t work since the Dutch word for “cheese” is kaas, not sure what “chee” means there, so I … Continue reading
Here’s a happy little dog to brighten everyone’s day
Last weekend, I had dinner at Jennifer’s friend’s place and he has these three funny little Pomeranians. To me, the smaller the dog, the more “dog” in their behavior. Bigger dogs think they fit in your lap like my cats. … Continue reading
RIP Ennio Morricone
Ennio was probably one of the biggest composers before John Williams, namely due to his head start. Like many, I’m more familiar with his Westerns that made Clint Eastwood into a bigger star and then contributing to John Carpenter’s remake … Continue reading

Weird microwave spotted in hotel
I guess the company that manufactured this microwave oven feared it becoming obsolete too quickly in this ‘social media’ age. Hell, I don’t even know why there’s a power plug too. Makes the microwave a power hub while you’re re-heating … Continue reading
The expected reactions to the governor’s mask order
Glad that I reside in “Alright” territory which is short for “Alright Alright Alright!” Evil MoPac definitely nailed DFW with “End Times,” since that’s a bastion of “freedom.”
The Dynamic Dumbass Duo return!
Uh huh huh uh huh! Cool. As per the recent news. Mike Judge’s first big successful creation will be returning to TV but this time they’ll be better served through Comedy Central despite 11 minutes of ads per “half-hour” episode. … Continue reading
Fifteen years of Picayune in this format!
Where are now? Let’s see three Mac Minis and a virtualized server for hosting and two different Weblog solutions. I’ve lost track how long I’ve been with WordPress but when I made the belated jump to the Weblog format, it … Continue reading
