As a rule, I don’t often leave the house. This is known. I’m also not a huge fan of nature. More often than not, it annoys me. This too, is known but if nature doesn’t bother me, I usually won’t bother it. So odds are, at no point in the future will I be inContinue reading “I draw the line at a 50 LB cougar”

It’s 2AM. I wake up to a sharp, stabbing pain in my gut, with every shallow breath I take. I can’t even manage a big breath, because pain set up a helluva roadblock to it. I’m usually acutely aware of every nuance of what’s going on inside of me, what I need, etc. Of courseContinue reading “A Year to the Day”

Don’t you hate it when some old shit starts blathering on about “back in MY day…”? Well don’t worry, I’ll change the wording. We are truly living in the golden age of live action superhero films. It’s almost a disservice to call the Marvel ones that, even though it’s technically true. Captain America: The WinterContinue reading “Kevin Fiege is our unicorn”

Ed Hine wrote It Takes You Away for S11 and even with its flaws, I found it to be the best of the series that year. He returned here with some interesting ideas, a couple actual comedic moments and at the very least, a good set up.  A fake spa on a dead planet withContinue reading “Doctor Who 12.3 – Orphan 55”

There’s a group. A secret society if you will, devoted to Shovelers. It’s called The Order of the Shovel and it’s a rather devoted group of people who… shovel. It’s somewhat exclusive, informal, erratically attended and there are three classifications. First, you’ve got the Blue Scoops. The Blue Scoops are people that eschew the metrosexualContinue reading “The Order of the Shovel”

Let me back up a bit as I should really give details leading up to that. Several years ago, maybe 15 or 20, I went down to New Orleans. I’d been there before and for whatever reason, decided to go again. Well, the reason was probably the booze and the nightlife, if I’m being honest.Continue reading “Whatever was in the swamp waited for me to die…”

Although I’m back to what passes for 100% (when you’re an overweight 57 year old), I was planning on sticking with the bald head for a while. It’s actually convenient on many levels. No hat hair, no bed head, no need to wash it, comb it, save on haircuts, you name it. Have to shaveContinue reading “Medically speaking”

Well, maybe. I’m referring to the CW’s biggestest most superest, powerfullest, superhero Crisis ever! Crisis on Infinite Earths is being spread out over five hours of tv. The first three parts have already aired this past December and the final two parts are airing next week. I’m chiming in now because right now, they’re cruisingContinue reading “CWDCTV Crisis…averted?”

Timing is everyth—-hey, about scheduling this thing…. I was jamming’ on stuff this morning and I almost forgot to post up, so this is timely…. Realistically, I probably won’t be posting up a new blog every day. I probably have an adequate supply of cogent thought mixed with nonsense but my work schedule, when busy,Continue reading “Scheduling…”

It’s not every ep that gets a rhyme.  I can not give them credit for sticking the landing. If I never saw the show in previous years, I think I’d be impressed as hell! But I have been watching every ep, every year. That’s how I recognized how thoroughly Chibnall ripped off The Sound ofContinue reading “Doctor Who – Spyfall part 2!”
