Regular visitors to this space will not be shocked to learn that I’m a big Doctor Who fan. The new series (as well as many of the old serials, thanks to Netflix) gets a lot of play in my living room; it’s sufficiently geeky, and it’s something the whole family can and does enjoy together. […]

A nice mix off the laptop hard drive this week, from which tracks two and three nicely complement the news that the stars of Mega Piranha and Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus are joining forces for the sure to be epic motion picture Mega Python vs. Gateroid, coming soon to a basic cable network near […]

Wouldn’t you know it…it’s Talk like a Browncoat Day! An enterprising passel o’ Browncoats on Facebook (I’m not going to link there; FB and I are havin’ what I call some ‘apart time’ right about now) up an’ decided that the ‘Verse needed another engagin’ little bit of arbitrary holiday mirth*, so’n they set this […]

‘Twas a busy, yet thorougly entertaining weekend… After jetting home (in a rolling, plodding sort of way on I-95) on Friday afternoon, Colleen and I slipped out for a couple of hours by ourselves to grab dinner and catch a movie – kabobs at a great local joint and a screening of Babies at the […]

Happy Star Wars Day
