Yet my cats only have GEDs
After they master this, they will figure out how occupy all the good sleeping spots at the same time.
John Dies at the End
Hulu thankfully gave me a second chance to watch this incredibly well-done Horror movie written by a former Cracked writer. I knew it was going to be good because Paul Giamatti was an executive producer and probably through him the director … Continue reading
WSJ is still consistent despite Murdochs’ ownership
This sad crap opinion piece from their deep bench of tone deaf Neo-Liberal apologists and stooges demonstrates why we must be at late-stage Kapitalism, it plans to take us all down with it before a stake is put through its … Continue reading
RIP Denny Laine and Norma Lear
Two mainstays of the Seventies when I was growing up are sadly gone. First up would be Denny who I didn’t know was a member of Wings until I was in college. I never gave much thought like a dummy, … Continue reading
To make sure you’re clear, December ’23
I know it has been pretty crazy out there with the wars happening abroad, a bunch of polls that don’t mean shit and it’s Saint Nicholas day.

Bewitched
This was possibly Nora Ephron’s worst movie after My Blue Heaven, the comical take on what Henry Hill’s life was possibly like after Goodfellas. It never should’ve been made for it is a complete waste of Michael Caine, David Alan Grier, Amy … Continue reading
Rest in Hell Sandra O’Connor
As far as I’m concerned she’ll be remembered for only two things. Being the first woman on the Supreme Court which is on the short list of good acts of St. Reagan’s reign of error. It only happened because the … Continue reading
Here, the domestic cat in her cave
Now some extra levity given the deaths of some people and I think it was a slightly tough week for many. Klothos loves to hang out in the cat tree but it doesn’t always work out when she wants to … Continue reading
RIP Shane MacGowan
Given how hard this Shane lived, it’s amazing he made it to 65 before his liver gave out! Shane only outlived Kirsty MacColl, the woman who sang with him on the now politically incorrect Xmas fave “Fairytale of New York,” … Continue reading
Welcome December 2023!
Damn, the current year is almost over and it has been a pretty solid one too. In many ways I hate to see it end. This month’s header is a nod back to the Seventies when I really, really wanted … Continue reading

Rot in Hell Henry Kissinger!
My counter the hagiography and/or massive mainstream corporate media ass-kissing of America’s biggest war criminal for the 20th Century. Kissinger easily defeated some heavy hitters before and after him: Teddy Roosevelt & Randolph Hearst for Moros Uprisings in the Philippines. … Continue reading

So it is true! November ’23 edition
Hipsters do all look alike! The only things missing from this photo: A can of Pabst Blue Ribbon A fixie bike A vape pen Tattoos on his hands and/or knuckles Or maybe it was really Jason Momoa incognito?
How Paul and I marketed ourselves freshman year
It probably only worked with college ladies who liked good-tasting food and had a taste for immature young men trying to figure crap out.
RIP Marty Krofft
Marty and his brother Sid were a huge part of Generation X’ Saturday mornings! This duo shook up the Hanna-Barbera-dominated landscape in the late Sixties to the late Seventies with their live-action shows. Many often starred SitCom stars such as … Continue reading
Another fun time at the Texas Renaissance Faire
Next year is going to be the big one because it turns 50. Meanwhile, I’m pretty exhausted today and it’s taking all my energy to write this post. We didn’t spend the night in nearby Houston’s periphery, yeah, we drove … Continue reading
