2005: Somara leaves for Phoenix
A very long and lonely Summer got rolling a decade ago. Technically, Somara headed out West a couple days before May began. I remember already missing her enormously as I tried to quietly weep in my cubicle the first Saturday … Continue reading
Happy New Year?
And so the calendar turns over to another year and I got to be ill physically and mentally again for it. Rather annoying too. I plan to move up my appointment with the doc since there have been some rather … Continue reading
Band Aid 1984 is the header since it’s the anniversary
Bob Geldof has reunited with the other egomaniac Bono to do yet another update to Band Aid. The song remains touching, it does have a touch of sadness but then again, anyone with half a brain knows the reality of … Continue reading
Welcome to a belated November
We’re off to the home stretch of 2014 because in America, the Holiday Season gets kicked off with Halloween followed by Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s. Interspersed in between are the other so-called good movies. The Summer sucked, I’m hoping the … Continue reading

Buonasera! It’s Italian Heritage Month IV…belatedly
Much like the Southern European nations’ stereotype, I’m late and behind schedule! However, unlike Italy’s ex-prime minister Silvio Berloscummy I don’t deserve prison nor are my excuses stronzate. The new month had a crazy start the afternoon of October first; I … Continue reading
Welcome *hack!* *wheeeeeze!* August
In Austin, we have some good news and some bad news… The good news is that allergy season has ended. The bad news is now the new allergy season has begun. Ugh! I got to feel right during the build … Continue reading
Four great amusements from 1989 is the header
This month’s header is the big tribute to the Summer of 1989, the best Summer I ever had in college. All the lessons I learned and mistakes I made in 1988 were perfected to make 1989 not suck. I did … Continue reading
This header is more like it II
Technically last month was Batman’s 75th birthday, no wait, March? Or better yet, Bruce Wayne tends to be February 19. Who cares, he is a fictional character and I chose June for one main reason, it’s also the 25th anniversary … Continue reading
This month’s D&D-themed header
Yeah, yeah, it’s May Fourth…Star Wars, Star Wars, Star Wars. However, I’ve chosen to go with this awesome piece of fan art by an immensely talented lady in Romania who goes by the handle of Madam Marla. You can see … Continue reading

Coming up on 15 years…
To celebrate, I tweaked the Mac’s 30th anniversary logo and melded it into my spot on the poster. My name is surrounded by numerous other people, some are co-workers I even know. I blurred them out to protect their privacy. … Continue reading
I’ll give the D&D theme another month…
…I’m feeling a tad lazy plus I think I can tie it all up into other things I’m behind in. Besides, I can’t come up with a solid concept to implement until April which would be my 15th anniversary with … Continue reading
It’s December already?
Pictured for this month’s header is my maternal grandmother’s house circa 2012 according to Google Maps’s street view. It looks practically the same with a few exceptions. I don’t recall the tree out front, guessing upon its age, my mother … Continue reading
November is 2013 is Shatsgiving
In less than three weeks, Somara and I will be meeting William Shatner at Austin’s Wiz World. One of the ultimate wedding anniversary presents a couple nerds can give each other! This year’s convention has numerous great guests too. I’m … Continue reading
September ’13 for this week…1993!
Moving up another five years, I brought back the animation/comedy darlings of then, ol’ Beavis & Butt-head. What do they have to do with back-to-school stuff? They were high school students or upper-end junior high students, depends upon the type … Continue reading
September ’13 is continuing to shift!
After being inspired by the Alamo Drafthouse’s Back to School theme for their older movie screenings, I decided to take their idea and continue it with my site. Originally I was going to move forward to 1993 but I’ll save that … Continue reading
