Happy New Year from Austin (2024)!

Posted on January 1, 2024 by Steve

Hey hey! We made it to the New Year. Not like there’s a Y2K situation on the horizon but I think there’s something to ponder or sweat when 32-bit processors choke, if they’re still in use. Meanwhile, the weather was … Continue reading →

Welcome December 2023!

Posted on December 1, 2023 by Steve

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 →

Welcome to November 2023!

Posted on November 1, 2023 by Steve

I was really excited about this month’s Header because it’s the 60th anniversary of Josie and the Pussycats debuting as a comic book; ok, it was just called Josie and it was a lazy female version of Archie. The Pussycats shift … Continue reading →

1993: Dazed n’ Confused debuts

Posted on September 24, 2023 by Steve

I think this movie was supposed to make Richard Linklater a big deal but it tanked. For me it doesn’t help that its legacy was launching the overrated, insufferable self-proclaimed favorite son of Austin…Matthew McConaughey. Contrary to the myth, he … Continue reading →

Welcome September, Austin’s last full month of Summer!

Posted on September 1, 2023 by Steve

Where I grew up for 14 years, this would be August since we have a politically incorrect, non-woke season called Indian Summer which I figure is now called, Indigenous or Native American Summer. I would be okay with it being renamed … Continue reading →

The Return of the Jedi as the header

Posted on May 2, 2023 by Steve

It’s the movie that gets the least respect in the first trilogy. In many ways, Lucas deserved the grief he received over it but then again Empire was a tough film and story to follow. He could’ve lessened the disappointment if … Continue reading →

In honor of D&D the movie…

Posted on April 3, 2023 by Steve

…I decided to make my header Krull, the original attempt to make a D&D-based film but fell through and thankfully was recycled into a pretty good B-level Fantasy flick. It even stars the late Robbie Coltrane and big fave Liam Neeson … Continue reading →

Why the March ’23 Header Art?

Posted on March 29, 2023 by Steve

The month is nearly over so I will finally explain/blather on why the header art I went with Monty Python’s: The Meaning of Life. March is the 40th anniversary of its release in US theaters plus it’s the first full-length movie … Continue reading →

Happy New Lunar Year! Year of the Rabbit

Posted on February 1, 2023 by Steve

Well, the Chinese aren’t the only culture with a moon-based calendar still in operation. There’s Judaism and Islam readily coming to mind. Then I’m stumped after these three. It is odd how none chose to adopt the more accurate 365.24 … Continue reading →

January 2023 Header explanation!

Posted on January 16, 2023 by Steve

Although Rio was released way back in 1982, by this time Duran Duran was all over the radio and I think they would go on to be the musical guest of SNL. What a fun talk that was with my classmates … Continue reading →

Don’t panic over this month’s Header!

Posted on December 1, 2022 by Steve

It has nothing to do with Current Events! I will explain its significance in a couple weeks as it’s the anniversary of a mostly life-changing experience. Plus why I never took a true, week-long vacation for a few years! I … Continue reading →

Why Gestapo NPH for this month?

Posted on November 17, 2022 by Steve

It’s a nod to one of the best Satires made in the Nineties…Starship Troopers which hit theaters 25 years ago. Like most movie goers, I saw it the first time and thought, “Hmm, pretty decent Sci-Fi/Action flick. Not sure it … Continue reading →

1982: Square Pegs debuts

Posted on September 27, 2022 by Steve

On this night forty years ago, the vanguard of Generation X yelled a collective “FINALLY!” when this show hit the airwaves. Below is the reason why it is this month’s Header Art too. Oddly Square Pegs was on by CBS, the … Continue reading →

Woo hoo! September with Vegas coming!

Posted on September 1, 2022 by Steve

Normally, I’m not thrilled about this month. Sure we get a three-day weekend with Labor Day but it also means Summer is over. On the upside, Austin gradually starts to cool off, the Renaissance Faire is coming, outdoor shows aren’t … Continue reading →

Welcome to July 2022

Posted on July 1, 2022 by Steve

Phew! We just got through the hottest June on record and now we’re headed full speed into the broiler with July. Note how the Climate Deniers/Right have changed their position from “it’s not happening,” to, “we’ll have to live with … Continue reading →
