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”
Bikes and braking
This is *sort* of a companion piece to my entry on driving stick, utilizing the clutch, etc. This one was sparked by an online discussion about old bikes, and the generation shift from the old backward-foot pedal braking system, compared with the change to hand brakes. Once again, I’m somewhat the odd man out inContinue reading “Bikes and braking”
Clutch, Brake, Accelerator
Back in the day, all cars had clutches for shifting gears. When shifting from gear to gear, your feet–both of them– were very busy working the pedals. The left foot was on the clutch for every shift. The right, working the brake and accelerator back and forth. It was how things were done. Eventually, mostContinue reading “Clutch, Brake, Accelerator”
Am I Burnt Out on the MCU?
Or am I just enjoying the break in the action? 2020, for all it’s bad and bad, it’s downs and downs, it coincided with a lull in the MCU slate of movies. All we were supposed to get this year was Black Widow and The Eternals. Now, it sucks that circumstances didn’t allow us toContinue reading “Am I Burnt Out on the MCU?”
