1979: Voyagers arrive at Jupiter
Can’t remember what my source was saying that either Voyager 1 or 2 arrived at their first destination around May but one go there in January, the other in July so I’ll just accept May as the compromise, hence this month’s header art! … Continue reading

1994: Arriving in Austin for the first time and 25 years!
Holy crap! Twenty-five years have just blitzed by already but at least this time, another quarter century of my life has been more under my control and somewhere I want to be unlike the hellholes the parents dragged me to. … Continue reading
Header change was needed
I went with this snapshot of the landscape from Idiocracy as a tribute to the current Federal Government shutdown being caused by the Shitgibbon’s stubbornness. He wants to be true to his racist base despite walls not working, ask the Chinese … Continue reading
Modifying the Header early today
I made all the changes for next month/year today because we will be attending a party held by really nice friends tonight. When I wake up on New Year’s Day is anyone’s guess as I try to get my sleep … Continue reading
This month’s header, They Live turns 30
Given our current state of affairs, it’s only appropriate to celebrate John Carpenter’s social commentary masterpiece, released on this day. The header took a little work to get it to work and I found this anti-Trump one weeks ago. No … Continue reading

Go Houston!
As per the story line of Seventies flick Rollerball, the year is 2018 and Houston on its way to another championship with 10-year veteran Captain Jonathan E at the helm! I still love this movie despite how super dated it is. … Continue reading
This month’s header, Bugs Bunny’s birthday
Every July we celebrate the wascally wabbit’s birthday (7/27/1940) and all the he has brought. I found a piece of art with him playing Brunhilde from The Ring in “What’s Opera Doc?” It’s not from a real cel, it’s a piece Chuck … Continue reading
Summer 2018 is here
Technically, Summer begins with Memorial Day for me, some of us never get over the ebb and flow of the seasons from when we were in school. Although I’m late on my finale to Karl Marx’s 200th birthday and I … Continue reading
The header for May ’18
This month’s header is a celebration of the sleeper hit She’s Having a Baby which was a pleasant departure for John Hughes after his string of six teenager movies. I think it also marked Hughes’ decision to make more films involving adults … Continue reading
Welcome to April
A big trifecta of celebration today! Easter (aka Zombie Jesus Day), April Fool’s Day and the 50th anniversary of Planet of the Apes. The last one is the “birthday” for when the classic movie was released. Of course, in the late … Continue reading
March is ladybug month
Whenever I don’t have a solid idea for a month’s theme, I start searching via Google for inspiration. This time I learned that March is ladybug month. Not sure why but I pounced on it because only recently did I … Continue reading
Black History Month is the theme/look
After a dozen years, I’ve remembered to honor Black History Month. I forgot how cool the colors attached to the celebration were. In America, Black citizens have contributed a lot to my country’s success and the story about the US. … Continue reading
Welcome December
I was a tad absent-minded on implementing the obvious changes on my site Friday. Again, it slipped my mind which was annoying, I had the snowy header ready to go. A little nod to the horrible weather I left behind … Continue reading
Welcome November 2017
As I peek out briefly from my Stranger Things 2-hole, I’m halfway through it, NO SPOILERS!!!…I wanted to drop a less depressing post to welcome you all to the home stretch of a crappy year. Well, crappy for the world since the … Continue reading
Welcome October 2017!
Normally I would had artwork to go with the theme of Italian Heritage or Pizza, but in light of Stranger Things returning to Netflix for its second season, I made it the header with the show’s typeface. You check out the cool … Continue reading
