RIP Harry Belafonte
Sorry to delay such a pretty cool guy. People still know his “Banana Boat Song” to this day. I often hear it at the local hockey games and it was a key scene in Beetlejuice. Harry had a great episode of The … Continue reading
The cat will figure it out when she’s hungry
This is the signature move for about half the cats in my house!
Farewell Kuroneko
Last night I got to have my final goodbye to one of the sweetest cats I’ve ever known. Somara was gracious enough to let see Kuroneko, give her cuddles and whisper in her ears why I loved her so much. … Continue reading
Doing a nice thing for a dragonfly
Yesterday, I was walking on the work campus, enjoying the post-rain situation when I spotted this poor dragonfly on the sidewalk. It seemed to be pretty helpless because its wings were soaked. That was my hypothesis as I recalled how … Continue reading
1983: Weird Al’s first album!
The world is a better place thanks to his 40-plus-year run! Although Weird is a hybrid of several previous singles Al released intertwined with newer material (for 1983), it remains a great album. The five parodies present have held up like … Continue reading
2024 looks like a shitty repeat of 2020
I keep having to remind myself that politics is more fluid than most people think as the Corporate Media presents. Three quick examples: 1991: Everybody thought Bush the Elder would coast through 1992 thanks to his Gulf Distraction I but … Continue reading
Renfield: Must See but not for weak stomachs
Another, way much better movie Universal made after their Horror Universe to compete with MCU, collapsed spectacularly under Tom Cruise’s mummy flick. Their first was that scary invisible man thriller with Elizabeth Moss. Now they go for comedy with Dracula … Continue reading
Sensible Gun Control is overdue, once again
One of these “misfires” happened nearby too, the cheerleaders who accidentally got into the wrong car tragedy. What makes it even worse, the ammosexual got out of his vehicle to shoot the young lady. That’s not defensive, that’s murder as … Continue reading
Mama squirrel just having one of those days
I know these aren’t cats but they are one of their nemeses! Especially the one outside my home office’s window who enjoys taunting Aggie, “You can’t catch me!” This trio I spotted on a bicycle cage. It seems mother took … Continue reading
200,000 calories!
Woo hoo! As I keep getting into the groove of exercising in the morning, I crossed this threshold on the bike at work that tracks all I’ve done on it. No luck on getting it to add what I did … Continue reading
The D&D Movie: Actually worth seeing
Twenty-three years later, Hollywood has tried again and this time Paramount and Hasbro succeeded in making a film based upon the D&D property with successful; something the overrated Gary Gygax could never do. Now admittedly, I wasn’t seriously onboard because … Continue reading
Double dang! I owe again!
Good thing I got to apply for an extension right away. Hell, I can’t remember if I owed last year or not. It sucks to owe the IRS money, especially when I’m paying more than all the billionaire shitbirds who … Continue reading
Dang! Back to a specialist on my crummy teeth
What I was hoping to be a routine filling operation became a little exercise in some pain. It’s my fault for not getting the right kind of toothbrush earlier in life and being more dedicated. So the filling I needed … Continue reading
I’m a Star Trek toy finally!
Introducing Lt. Commander Maggi. Chief Astronomy Officer and vice-Counselor on the Enterprise! Thanks to Playmobil producing a four-pack of the Star Trek characters, I was able to take its McCoy and modify it with another figure to make…me! As my hair grays, I … Continue reading
My Stars lock up first place!
Last night, my Stars of the AHL (boooo Dallas!) secured first in the Central Division! We have a finale tonight against the Wild (or Mild given it’s Iowa) so we won’t know who we will be facing in the playoffs … Continue reading
