A classic iPod with on-board WiFi, Bluetooth, and Spotify streaming? That would be so cool!

Look at that! I’m back! I’m actually back! And on time! Yay me!

Did I mention that yesterday at C2E2, I met Michael Rooker, the actor from The Guardians of the Galaxy, The Walking Dead, The Belko Experiment, Cliffhanger, and Mallrats, among sooo much more.

Yup, we finished the costume. He looked great. And he and I had fun. Tons of it.

I have always feared conventions and festivals. I don’t like crowds. I hate them, in fact. So, other than the Pitchfork Music Festival, I avoid them.

Well, I guess I now know what caused the slow leak we had under our kitchen sink...

Why is that as the amount of entertainment offerings expands, I tend to shrink back into my same-old/same-old?

Just a short post today. I’m still trying to get back into the swing of blogging. Baby steps. So why not share some trailers I’ve seen recently that intrigued me.

I’m not even sure what the previous #MiniMoviePosterMonday challenge photo was and don’t have the source photos in my photo roll anymore so… ALL OF YOU WIN (channeling my inner Oprah).

Ugh. This month blew chunks. Who says that about July ever??

You knew it had to happen eventually, right? This was, indeed, my slow-down month. Even worse than last month, in fact. Ugh.

As a lover of music, documentary films, music memoirs, and, most importantly, the Thin White Duke himself, David Bowie, the upcoming release of Moonage Daydream makes me happy to no end. 

This makes me immeasurably happy.

Dear Mr. Gates,

I was recently made aware of your decision to actively seek to fall off the World's Richest People list and I'd like to take this opportunity to offer my services to that end. 

We’re going on vacation soon and, in preparation, have been checking out the weather in the immediate future to try to gauge what to expect.

Few things make me feel worse than loving all the creative output made by someone up to a certain point and then suddenly not liking something by them.

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it yet or not, but Nathan and I are going to our very first comic convention on Saturday, August 6. Chicago’s venerated C2E2 (Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo) at McCormick Place downtown.

It’s like July 3 now, isn’t it? But hey, I’m on vacation. It’s a miracle I’m posting at all! 

It was a weird reading month. Started slow, picked up in the middle, and slowed down again at the end.

It’s so effing hot in Arizona. Gorgeous, but hot.

And just like that... the U.S. Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade.

THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! THE! 

Dave2 wrote a post the other day where he listed all the Pixar films in his preferred order. Not that I don't already do this on my Rankings page, but I had to update it because I've been a little lax on updating with the MCU-level speed of new releases. 

My friend Stacy hacked and slashed through all the other guesses to win last week’s #MiniMoviePosterMonday.

So I had this conversation with Nathan just now...

Last night, prior to the start of Jurassic World: Dominion, we got to see the trailer to the new alien invasion horror film from Director Jordan Peele. I’d seen the trailer a few times before but Katie hadn’t.

I saw Jurassic World: Dominion tonight and… I’m torn.

Just another Macro Monday, oh OH oh ohhh.

To cop a catchphrase from the Sex and the City spin-off… and just like that, Katie’s car was paid off.

Lately, Nathan and I have become frustrated with our local comic shop. It’s right up the street from us and is huge and has a lot of variety but that’s becoming not enough for us.

I am but a simple man. I have simple likes. And simple things make me happy. This is the way.

I’m late posting this. I told myself I wasn’t going to bother. Wait till next week, perhaps. But then I decided I wanted to. Date be damned.

For the past several weeks, Katie has been binge watching Grey’s Anatomy on Netflix. I’m not sure exactly why she chose to do it but she did and she is.

I was introduced to the wonder of pho — a rice noodle, meat, and bone broth soup — at a little hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese restaurant near my old office about four years ago. I was hooked and got it whenever I could, which wound up about quarterly over the next year and a half.

It sucks watching projects get delayed over and over again. You’re left wondering when they will start and how that will affect the projects that do start on time at later dates. Eventually you hit a critical mass of deadlines and… 

Braindeath.
