Tomorrow begins the “voluntary” winterization
While the GOP made sure they can dictate what women can do with their bodies, “urban dwellers” have a harder time voting and preventing children from learning the ugly truth about Amerika…they sure as hell didn’t do shit about the … Continue reading

Got my booster shot against CV-19 today
Not sure if the booster is making me tired, the long weekend or the aftermath of Daylight Savings Time ending. Just glad I had it done as Winter will kick in. Can’t get a flu shot though for about four … Continue reading

Why I never went to Larry Flynt’s house for Thanksgiving
It’s because his household never serves turkey and ham is more of a Christmas thing.

RIP Stephen Sondheim
I got into Sondheim late and before then, I was rather oblivious as to who the heck he even was or what was his material while it played in front of me! If you grew up in the Midwest and … Continue reading
Check out my Mandalorian forces!
Just in time for the upcoming Book of Boba Fett next month on Disney+. The one at the center left is wielding a generic sword, not the famous blacksabre Bo Katan needs to reclaim rulership over Mandalore. Thanks again to … Continue reading
Getting through the day
I’m at the half-way point of my day working. Beats being stranded at my parents’ house, bored out of my mind as I spent my teen and college years (sometimes). Other than the gluttonous meal, there wasn’t much else to … Continue reading
The Doctor has declared me “sane” for the holiday stretch!
It wasn’t as if the outcome was in doubt but I like to make sure I make my appointment with my doctor, let him know I am getting better. Better at powering through all the crap cold medicine throws my … Continue reading

As you can see, the Media fell for it again
In Austin, our local grocery store chain, HEB, is offering a free turkey if you buy a ham so as always, the GOP is full of shit as they let the world burn doing nothing until the off-year election cycle.

So begins one of my favorite, easy weeks at work!
Not well enough to hit the gym yet. Argh! I want to get a headstart on the bloaty meal we Americans are obligated to make and consume this Thursday. I’m pushing to get my weight down to 260 and complete … Continue reading

Injustice carries the day in WI, as expected
Sooooooo pissed while not really surprised at the outcome of the Rittenhouse murder trial. I don’t care if a bunch of Cheesedick Ammosexuals say the little pimple-faced Nazi was acquitted, he murdered two people. Sadly, good ol’ Rural/Red-state racism and … Continue reading

First cold of the Winter season, ugh!
I want to be perfectly clear, it isn’t Covid-19! I started coming down with cold or flu-like symptoms around Wednesday as the temperature dropped and then I felt the sweats. I know there are all the naysayers about the vaccine, … Continue reading
This would’ve been a better movie than what I saw in 1992
I can also imagine the horrible, dead-cat breath Alf is breathing in Ripley.
The University of Austin is as legit as Trump U or Prager Crap
You may have heard about this in the news. I imagine they chose Austin because Phoenix, Liberty, Trump and Con Game were already taken. Worse, they will probably make Alex Jones, Ron Paul and Joe Rogan faculty members. For all … Continue reading

Visited a little shrine of Computer Science History
To save our energy and health after the RenFest, Jennifer booked a hotel for the night. Brilliant idea. Beats the hell out of driving another three hours back to Austin after walking around all day. Since we stayed nearby, she … Continue reading
