Howdy October 2020
I remember certain people saying we’d return to some sense of normality by now. Did I believe it? Well…I was probably guilty of some return with limitations but I don’t think America is anywhere close as we’ve lost over 200,000 … Continue reading
Now comes September 2020
This is always an ambivalent month. When you’re a kid it sucks because Summer Vacation is over and you need to return to prison which is how you feel with grade school and to some extent, high school. Meanwhile, you … Continue reading
Half way through 2020!
To cheer us all up, I decided make my header one of the best movies ever made in the Eighties. Hell, it’s so perfect, I can’t think of a single complaint about it. On July 3, 1985, Back to the … Continue reading
The month’s header
Twenty-five years ago, my first great Summer in Austin got rolling. The year before sucked for my new home and as for the other years, I would say I hadn’t had a really decent Summer since 1991. To be fair … Continue reading
Welcome May and this month’s header
Onward to what will probably be our second full month of being in the Pandemic Shirt Storm so what better Header is there than a Horror movie! May 2020 is also the 40th anniversary of the Friday the 13th series. Now … Continue reading
Welcome April…I guess
I often look forward to April 1st but given the Pandemic of 2020 along with all the economic fallout; holy crap! Three-plus million unemployment filings recently. It this Recession doesn’t defeat Orange Foolius, America is definitely a nation of stupid, … Continue reading
Welcome March 2020
We’re one sixth of the way through 2020 but the impending awfulness called the American Election Season carries on. The South Carolina Primary had mixed results for me. Although Sen. Foot-in-Mouth wasn’t eliminated nor Mayor Buttplug, Sen. Cockblocker and Mayor … Continue reading
Welcome the Year of the Rat for February 2020!
Of course I know that Chinese New Year was on January 25 this year but it’s traditionally around February in the West because we don’t use a Lunar-based calendar needing a special month every few years to prevent July feeling … Continue reading
What’s with the December 2019 Header?
It’s December now. Shouldn’t I have a Christmas, Solstice, Festivus, whatever, theme in the Header space and not what appears to be the Eagles’ Hotel California album cover? Well, I did piece together a GIF-based header because my host and great … Continue reading
Welcome November!
Yeah, yeah. Still running late on everything due to all the distractions in my life. Many of which are fun but I do hope to have the opportunity to bring more of this site up to speed as Daylight Savings Time … Continue reading

October’s usual festivities are suspended for 2019
I often look forward to celebrating three of the biggest things happening October which aren’t Halloween: Italian Heritage, Pizza and a silly thing FM AOR stations invented called Rocktober, a new story idea I wanted to cover, more on it … Continue reading

New month, new art and update
The divorce is slowly progressing as Somara is moving her stuff out. Kuroneko was relocated last week, going to miss that little butterball. We haven’t figured out what’s going to be divided yet nor who gets to keep exactly what … Continue reading
Revenge of the Nerds
This month’s theme is dedicated to the 35th anniversary of Revenge of the Nerds. It remains one of the best Teen Sex Romp movies made in the Eighties; Animal House appeared five years earlier and started an avalanche of these. According to … Continue reading
Welcome to July with a shift in timeliness
For the last couple months I have been digging out slowly while sticking mostly to the chronological series of events with the exception of keeping the header art, color scheme and my exercise progression updated. Given the events of last … Continue reading

Welcome to June, Greedo ordered first!
I decided to go with a joke picture I found on the Internet adding to the big stink that happened on Game of Thrones, an HBO water-cooler conversation maker I have never seen. I’m not against it, I just have way … Continue reading
