We almost lost Mark Mothersbaugh to CV-19!
Saw the frightening news via Twitter about Mark being pretty sick. Glad he made it through so he can keep making music for upcoming TV show and movies.
Covidiots in Wisconsin strike
While driving around on my errands this weekend, I heard on NPR that a bunch of MAGA cheesedicks want to recall the current governor, a Democrat (surprise, surprise). Why? The actions he has been taking to save lives from CV-19, … Continue reading
RIP Chadwick Boseman
Such a damned shame too. I was really looking for to the Black Panther sequel and more Avengers movies because when I was a kid, he rescued them in the Seventies from some gravity-based villain (I guess Magneto was busy). He was young, … Continue reading
How some advice feels
I’m not ridiculing my therapist because she is an expert and is doing the best she can yet some days when I’m told the platitude as shown above, I don’t feel much better thanks to a sense of being overwhelmed. … Continue reading
Greyhound
It has been a while since I wrote about a movie or two. That doesn’t mean I stopped watching them…I’ve slowed as I’m binge watching a slew of animated shows, plus staying on top of Lovecraft Country. Here’s the one … Continue reading
Orion
The second installment (of seven) regarding Jennifer’s cats. As I said before, they live with her but she’s not all their moms. Plus the fiancé I mentioned is engaged to Jennifer’s daughter, not her, this would make our relationship awkward … Continue reading
1995: Windows 95 hits the streets around now
Windows 95 was the first major upgrade to PCs in four-to-five years and Microsoft’s latest attempt to make their clunky GUI more Mac-like…without paying for it. Many hack comedians and Doonsebury went for all the easy jokes on the software’s initial flaws … Continue reading
In time for Taco Tuesdays!
They also come in corn as well. However, I would recommend not putting in the meat while it’s still sizzling and be reasonable with the guacamole and/or sour cream, you don’t want to suffocate. Silly photo courtesy of Pee Wee … Continue reading
Why they’re the same, convention edition
It’s my rebuttal to all the Biden-Pelosi apologists. The Democrats have no fucking clue nor any concern about how much America is hurting. The Republicans only care about rich people and the Democrats…different rich people, often big tech billionaires who … Continue reading
I hope the king doesn’t kill the messenger
Wizk!ds is another reason why I wish I could live another 20-30 years. Their painted/unpainted miniatures for D&D and other roleplaying games. Man, when I was much younger with more time to enjoy gaming, we didn’t have such a good … Continue reading
How BB-88 was really done
For Caturday, the special effects team for the last trilogy revealed how they made the new droid BB-88 move around.
Overdue photo celebrating with the nephews!
My nephews and Anje got out of quarantine (self-imposed, you know how moronic Texas is) to join Jennifer and me to have dinner at Chuy’s (the one super far south). Man, I can’t wait for this frickin’ pandemic to end! … Continue reading
Today’s mood
This in a nutshell is why America is the most overrated country in History as CV-19 and the elections of shit-for-brains POTUSes (St. Reagan, Dubious Bush and Orange Foolius) have exposed its weaknesses, myths and vulnerabilities. Meanwhile, “dying, old” Europe … Continue reading
Chocolate snow!!!
Not everything has been crappy for 2020, as per this story from The Guardian, a “happy” accident occurred in Switzerland. As cool as chocolate snow would be, I can’t recommend it around Austin due to the stifling hot weather we have. … Continue reading
Paris
Welcome to the first one seven installments I’m doing about my girlfriend Jennifer’s cats. Wait, you’re probably thinking, she has seven cats, oy vey! They’re not all hers, I think several belong to her daughter and her fiancé but they all live … Continue reading
