Superior Spider-man – part two

Peter Parker’s mind, trapped in the terminally ill, decaying body of Otto Octavius is dead.  Otto Octavius’ mind now possesses Parker’s body. But not all is as it seems. In Peter’s last moments, his entire life flashed before his eyes AND Otto’s. Otto experienced all of Peter’s life at once and it changed him.  YourContinue reading “Superior Spider-man – part two”

Crumply animals

There’s an orange tiger laying in the dining room Silent and staring at the sky There’s a curled up giraffe on the parquet floor A yellow face and winky eye Somewhere at school there’s a hidden gorilla Just waiting for the children to meet But there’s no threat and no one’s worried Because the gorillaContinue reading “Crumply animals”

That’s a No-no!

I’m writing this Sunday night, still thinking about having witnessed my first no-hitter by a Cubs pitcher in –maybe– ever. Alec Mills, a college walk-on pitcher who worked his way up through the ranks to the majors, threw a no-hitter against the Milwaukee Brewers today. It was only the 16th no-hitter ever in Cubs history,Continue reading “That’s a No-no!”

How to Talk a Person through Emergency Situations on the Phone (probably)

In an ongoing effort to not only entertain and reminisce but also to inform, I thought it might be helpful give a few examples of how to help people out in various situations on the phone. Some day, society will create some type of emergency hotline with an easy to remember number and then youContinue reading “How to Talk a Person through Emergency Situations on the Phone (probably)”

Doctor Who on vinyl……But Do I Need It?

I’m going to try and lay out just how my thought process worked itself out here. Okay, so the other day on the Doctor Who companion (a site I regularly contribute to),  they previewed another old, 1960’s Doctor Who story that was being released on vinyl for vinyl record day or whatever you call it. AContinue reading “Doctor Who on vinyl……But Do I Need It?”

TV slow binge- The Rockford Files

I’ve always been a James Garner fan, yet I never watched his shows back in the day. Go figure.  He’s always been great in every movie I’ve seen him in yet I don’t think I’ve seen even a small percentage of his movies. Loved him in The Great Escape, Space Cowboys and Murphy’s Romance and,Continue reading “TV slow binge- The Rockford Files”

The Superior Spider-man – part one

This is a bit tricky. See, I do like the concept of Spider-man, but for a long while now, it’s become its own worst enemy. Please bear with me as I lay the groundwork with what has gone before, which will highlight my appreciation for the main focus of this entry. To do that, youContinue reading “The Superior Spider-man – part one”

It’s Not Their Year

Admittedly, the 2020 baseball campaign, like everything else, is a mess because of COVID but, after a bumpy start and a few groups of idiots screwing it up for everyone, they’ve actually made a go of it. Now, the season’s already two thirds of the way over and I think it’s safe to say 2020Continue reading “It’s Not Their Year”
