They filed into the church slowly, quietly, reverently. Most didn’t notice the lovely architecture, the elegantly arching beams, the intricate stained glass, all hundreds of years old. No, the focus was on the far end of the center aisle that cut through the great space. Straight ahead, was the raised platform containing a podium toContinue reading “The Purple Throbber- In Memoriam”

The Mandalorian, Season Two (spoilers)
Jon Favreau has done a really admirable job bringing to life a corner of the Star Wars universe that’s pretty fresh and interesting. Season two continues Mando’s journey with his infant charge, who we now know is named Grogu. (Excellent name) They navigate through some set up adventures, at least one so-so filler adventure toContinue reading “The Mandalorian, Season Two (spoilers)”
CHEESE COUNT HUZZAH!!!!!!’
Months ago, I marveled at the collection of cheeses we just happened to have in our meat and cheese drawer in the fridge. I believe I one time counted 10 different cheeses residing in the chilled compartment. Kind of boggled my mind at the time. So I figured I’d take another look and see whereContinue reading “CHEESE COUNT HUZZAH!!!!!!’”
Why is Star Trek VS Star Wars even a Thing?
Full disclosure right out of the box, that of the two, my allegiance is to Star Trek, but fear not. I’ll be fair and balanced here. Once in a while, I’ll run into a rather devoted Star Trek fan, who is in discussion with a devoted Star Wars fan. Almost inevitably, the little digs startContinue reading “Why is Star Trek VS Star Wars even a Thing?”
The Shorts Thing
I don’t know if anyone has ever noticed this before but probably more often than not, I wear shorts. No, seriously. This’ll blow your mind—I even wear them in the winter. Yes, I wear then for comfort. Much more flexibility of movement. Helps keep me cool. There happen to be extra pockets on the kindContinue reading “The Shorts Thing”
Santa– How does he do it?
He manages to deliver hundreds of millions of presents to everyone’s homes all across the world in one evening. Well, in 24 hours really, if you work your way across the world, racing the sun and the international dateline. Still, that’s a lot of ground to cover in that time period. Is he a goodContinue reading “Santa– How does he do it?”
The Evolution of My Coffee
I’m a big iced coffee guy. Year ‘round. Yes these ARE the trivial nooks and crannies of my life—a reminder, that’s what this blog is. You string all 366 together, you’ve pretty much got me. My life, such as it is. And I drink iced coffee. I can’t do hot coffee, as I as aContinue reading “The Evolution of My Coffee”
Door Dash Mish Mash Clash
In this era of contactless food delivery, since indoor dining out is verboten, we here at Casa Lundeen tend to do Door Dash, with Matthew doing the ordering honors. There was talk of Grub Hub at first but evidently both Matthew and Theresa had bad experiences with late delivery and cold food. So Door DashContinue reading “Door Dash Mish Mash Clash”
Doctor Who Showrunner- Who’ll step up?
Current Doctor Who showrunner Chris Chibnall’s due to leave after 2022, having delivered a whole 29 episodes across five years. I honestly can’t imagine the BBC extending his run, as the popularity of the show hasn’t been this low since the mid 1980’s. So who’s up for the task? I have no idea. It’s possibleContinue reading “Doctor Who Showrunner- Who’ll step up?”
Waiting for the blu-rays
Looks like I’ll be having plenty of movies potentially spoiled for me over the next year. See, I have no idea the next time I’ll ever go into a movie theater. Usually it’s not an issue until a big MCU film comes out–superhero movies are the only ones I tend to go see, mostly becauseContinue reading “Waiting for the blu-rays”
