Stacked refers primarily to the fact that my weekend is terribly overloaded, to the point that I had to give up me free moe. tickets for this evening, because there was just too much going on (though stacked could also refer to the fact that the new jeans my spouse bought this week at the […]

working from home today, listening to the rain tap on the skylights while I take care of a bunch of system admin tasks before the holiday weekend. Should be a nice and quiet today, if all goes well. A few things on for the weekend – tonight I’m supposed to help the kid finish up […]

Yeah, I’m broken and beaten. Not by anything sinister, but rather the simple act of getting from one piece of life to another, and finding things in my way, be they a 100 mile drive, or a pack of cackling teenagers filming a movie (which wasn’t as bad as I’d expected), or a pile of […]

Coulson Lives. Lola better be one of those classic SHIELD flying cars. Update: three whole minutes worth of trailer for this program!: The real question now is who’s J. August Richards playing? Luke Cage? Rage? Cloak? A CW/”Arrow” style Black Panther? Sweet Christmas, people! We need to know theses things!

So, it was a weekend. Thankfully, not much going on. After another five hour drive home from work on Friday, I wasn’t up for much anyway. However, I kind of expect this, and have more or less built it into my expectations by now. The job, it’s myriad drawbacks and frustrations considered, has, at least […]

Just gonna leave this here, because it’s awesome (there may be something spoilery, if you squint enough): It’s the feelgood show of the season.

I really don’t have loads to talk about, but life continues to happen around me, and occasionally, I even get to take part in some of it. For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been rehearsing with the second incarnation of the guitar ensemble I occasionally play with – slightly different, more diverse group this […]

So, as most of you know, I’m really a Marvel comics guy. DC never quite clicked with me the way that the house that Jack, Steve, and Stan built did. That said, there’s a lot to like in the following: In the latest trailer for Man of Steel, the filmmakers seem to have really hit […]

It’s an interesting time to be a comics fan, friends. Check out these recently posted over at images (and some video) over at io9 relating to Marvel’s “Phase Two” slate of films, starting with Iron Man 3 next month. There’s stuff from Thor: Dark World, Captain America: Winter Soldier, a couple of shots of the […]

I was in a place where it was possible for me to watch the season premiere of Game of Thrones last night, which was nice…I’m usually a year behind. Of course, given how damned tired I was last night, I still ended up snoozing through a bunch of it. I’ll catch up eventually. I enjoyed […]
