That quote is the catchphrase for THE NEW Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, Cody Rhodes. And since it's been over 3 months since I've made a post, I guess it could apply to me, as well. No matter how I twist it, turn, look at it, or analyze it, 2024 (as a whole) has not been … Continue reading “So… what do you want to talk about?”

For the past few years (especially on FB), I have listed and tried to watch a horror movie per day, in October. Last year, I instead listed a pool of movies to pick from, with the requirement that I watch at least 20 movies in October. 2023 will see me keep the Pool of Movies … Continue reading 2023 Days of Horror
It has been quite a while since I've written a 'First Impression' about a video game, so let's get started.... My favorite PC game, and one of my favorite all-around video games, was "Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn" plus the expansion "Throne of Bhaal". I've waited 20+ years for a sequel to come out … Continue reading ‘First Impressions’: “Baldur’s Gate 3”

It is a 4-day gaming convention in Indianapolis. It features table top RPGs, board games, card games, and dice games, plus some arcade … Continue reading Short Circuits: 45th Trip
- I dropped my DirecTV Stream service about 2 months ago, and switched back to Roku and antenna. I just wasn't watching enough TV to justify the monthly cost. Roku and local TV has been fine - mainly watching 'Forensic Files', 'How It's Made', and 'The Universe', with a smattering of Nature, Nova, and news. … Continue reading Short Circuits

I only had one 'official' resolution for 2022, and that was to read 25+ books for the year. Even with me not reading or listening to much in November and December, this resolution was a success: I read 25 books. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2022 was a pretty decent year... but ended in a frustrating huff. I got … Continue reading The End of 2022, Staycation, and… Don’t Break My Stuff, 2023!
As I wait for dinner to arrive from 'El Nopal', here is an oft-delayed blog post. It is already early December... it seems like it was September, 2 weeks ago! - I went to my High School's Homecoming game, a few weeks ago. It was packed! I ran into a few old friends, made some … Continue reading What’s New?
It's been a VERY busy 2-3 months at work. I've filled in for absent co-workers, open shift spots, and as an extra body; probably averaging 46-48 hours a week, 6 days a week. Busy, to the point that I forgot to start a blossoming tradition of watching at least 1 horror/thriller movie a day in … Continue reading 31 Days (well, maybe 20…) of Horror
