Going to San Antonio tonight, won’t be back until 1/3/21

Posted on December 31, 2020 by Steve

Still going to avoid crowds as much as possible, especially at the city’s overrated, smelly Riverwalk. I’m looking forward to relaxing in a hotel room with unlimited towels, hot water and free Wi-Fi. Enjoy your New Year’s Eve festivities.

Seems about right, thanks Patton & Screen Junkies

Posted on December 30, 2020 by Steve

 The masters of reworking movie trailers (and sometimes TV shows) did a solid job bludgeoning the obvious on how shitty 2020 was and will be remembered. It’s cool that Screen Junkies got Patton Oswalt to participate. Past guests Ryan … Continue reading →

May 2020 be the end of Reaganism and Rand’s rantings

Posted on December 29, 2020 by Steve

I also wanted to post this because I have a friend whose daughter was assigned The Fountainhead at her school for English class. Like any thinking person who isn’t a greedy sociopath named Mark Cuban or Rand Paul, my reaction was “What? … Continue reading →

My first attempt at digitizing vinyl worked out

Posted on December 28, 2020 by Steve

I think Jennifer’s main gift went over well. It’s too soon to tell but I’m confident the middle present (in cost) was a success: Blue October’s latest release on two green vinyl disks. Why green not blue? No clue. As … Continue reading →

My main gifts from Jennifer

Posted on December 27, 2020 by Steve

Pretty spiffy! One of the nicest shirts I’ve ever received and I can dress up in style like Joe Bob Briggs! However, I cannot be but a tad worried that Jennifer is trying to countrify me. I am a Yankee … Continue reading →

The 12 days of drinking begins

Posted on December 26, 2020 by Steve

We’ve all seen and heard of the booze-based advent calendars. Here’s one for the 12 Days of Christmas per the song. Contrary to the McKenzie Brothers’ deductions, I learned through an NPR DJ that these 12 days begin today (12/26 … Continue reading →

Christmas 2020 was relatively peaceful today

Posted on December 25, 2020 by Steve

Although I’m really enjoying divorced life more and more every day, one thing I miss are the combined incomes which let me take this day off, watch a movie at Alamo Drafthouse before joining up with my former spouse to … Continue reading →

To remind KKKristians regarding the season

Posted on December 24, 2020 by Steve

They’re the first to whine and bitch about the secularism that isn’t really happening since even I am fine with Merry Christmas. I do throw in the New Year. With people I know, I add Festivus, Solstice, Hanukkah and Kwanza. … Continue reading →

A lump of crap from the GOP & Brunch Democrats

Posted on December 23, 2020 by Steve

Just in time for the holidays. Get ready for the next four years of President Foot-in-Mouth failing to do crap. How quickly the apologists forget their “savior” is an austerity fanatic which will play well with the GOP and Brunch … Continue reading →

Designated sane for the holidays and days are getting longer!

Posted on December 22, 2020 by Steve

I recently got off the phone with my therapist for the year and she has declared me A-OK for the next couple weeks, phew! I wasn’t really worried. Despite how much 2020 sucks for everyone, suffering from anxiety already had … Continue reading →

Why I stopped having a Christmas Tree

Posted on December 21, 2020 by Steve

In the past when the Maggi Republic existed, there was a plastic one but it doesn’t matter to felines, they have to climb it. After coming home from work, only to find it on the floor half the time…well, that … Continue reading →

Not a spoiler re: The Mandalorian, just a fact

Posted on December 20, 2020 by Steve

Friday’s finale for season two was the only good thing to come of Disney trying to own everything and get their $4 billion back from Lucas. Well that and Abrams’ general body of work is crap and overrated.

Favorite fiction v. Philosophy

Posted on December 19, 2020 by Steve

How about some examples? In the fiction department I would go with Alan Dean Foster, Octavia Butler, Michael Moorcock, Douglas Coupland and James Ellroy (he would be a bumpy journey). In the latter? There is fiction: Frank Herbert (Dune has … Continue reading →

Our current…eternal struggle as 2020 ends

Posted on December 18, 2020 by Steve

Let’s hope that 2020 wins for a change on this contest based upon a really stupid Stallone movie from the Eighties.

Posted on December 17, 2020 by Steve

I will give Mrs. Lauper credit her outfit not being an eyesore like Mr. Herman’s.
