Horse guy #5

Back in art school, pretty much all of my friends and contemporaries wisely diversified their skill sets. The first year, amongst the two classes each day, it was mandatory to have fundamentals for one and life drawing for the other. But the *second* year, you could start taking other classes. I think most people –thatContinue reading “All about the line”

To quote Bruce Banner- “Well, this is all just horrible.”

You might see a number of these entries inserted into the mix, as when my body’s finally settled, and the wracking, debilitating, near vomit inducing cough from hell as quieted, I can at least type. I’m writing this on Thursday, November 12th. If nothing else, I hope this educates, especially those who think this isContinue reading “To quote Bruce Banner- “Well, this is all just horrible.””

For the birthday girl

Linda Louise Potts was born into this world to Joe and Sylvia, joining siblings Mike and Karen (Brian came later). She was often referred to as The Happy Child. She was a bit of a tomboy and she had a cat named Peanut Butter who acted more like a dog, yet ironically, she was neverContinue reading “For the birthday girl”

Live Action to Comics Adaptations…

Had a discussion about this recently. I love Star Trek, and I love comics, but I don’t really get into Star Trek comics. A few friends of mine have stated this as well. It’s something about the live action *possibly* being the only “valid” version in my head for some reason. I guess Trek beingContinue reading “Live Action to Comics Adaptations…”

And Thus I… am content?

Phone conversation years ago with a friend. Started talking about our jobs. He had already been in a position which he was at his very best. That is to say, the vocation he seemed happiest in, in which he seemed to thrive. But he was always reaching for higher positions, more money. It was myContinue reading “And Thus I… am content?”

Picard’s not so bad.

I’m speaking of CBS All Access’s Star Trek: Picard that aired earlier this year. When I first heard they were doing the show, and that initially, Stewart didn’t want to do it but they talked him into it, it kinda sounded a bit like elder abuse. Maybe done with smiles, arms around the shoulder andContinue reading “Picard’s not so bad.”

Risky business at the movies…

Due to the pandemic, movie theaters have mostly closed up shop, some have gone out of business. Sure, eventually, people will start going back into theaters to see movies. But it might be a long, long time before theaters have a packed house again. Can movie theaters wait that long? Can they pay their billsContinue reading “Risky business at the movies…”

So what DO you do with these Cubs?

The reasons/excuses for why the Cubs have basically disintegrated over the last four years are plenty. Lack of home grown talent, the collective bargaining agreement, Ricketts not wanting to spend more, Dexter Fowler left, and we didn’t have a lead off guy, blah blah blah. The Cubs actually had good pitching this year. You couldContinue reading “So what DO you do with these Cubs?”

Doctor Who, The Animated Adventures! please?

I was cavorting around on Facebook, visiting the Character Option figures page. I’m not sure “cavorting” is the most accurate word for scrolling through an FB page but there, I’ve said it, let the bodies fall where they may. Recently, Character Options released a very cool online exclusive (covered by the Doctor Who Companion amongContinue reading “Doctor Who, The Animated Adventures! *please?*”
