The New Year seemed like a good time to scratch another item off my bucket list. I do everything ass-backwards, so when an opportunity presents itself, I add it to my very weird list. That’s how I ended up zip lining on Fremont Street in Vegas. The zip line was there and so was I, … Continue reading If You Can’t Spell Renaissance You Can’t Go to the Faire
APROPOS
As I discussed in a recent entry, watching slot machine videos has become therapy for me. I don’t need to watch cat videos (although they are therapeutic) because I have cats. My cat alarm clock bites me on the elbow every morning at least two hours before my actual alarm goes off so cat therapy … Continue reading APROPOS
BLACK FRIDAY MUST DIE
For the first time in 12 years I’m not working Black Friday. This is not because my Corporate Overlords gave me the day off. It’s because they filed bankruptcy and I lost my job. I wrote this piece years ago and nothing has changed except I’m not there to share in all the fun. There … Continue reading BLACK FRIDAY MUST DIE
It’s #RUDE! if Brian Christopher Doesn’t Get 50,000 Subscribers NOW!
Last night the Remote Control Terrorist’s cat The Evil Dr. Sprinkles stretched out between my knees and ankle for only the Great and Powerful Oz knows how long. The result was a scream-worthy Charley horse in one of my calves. I blame Brian Christopher. Before explaining who this miscreant is, there’s something you need to … Continue reading It’s #RUDE! if Brian Christopher Doesn’t Get 50,000 Subscribers NOW!
Where’s a Plumber When You Need One?
A while back I had to call a plumber and it was not a pleasant experience. Today I had lunch with two plumbers and things went much better. I turned 61 this week and my cousin Dori wanted to take me to lunch. Mortified Daughter joined us at a Japanese restaurant. I’d never been to … Continue reading Where’s a Plumber When You Need One?
The Unsupervised Prophet
Parents love to dump their small children in the toy section of a bookstore, which makes me a glorified babysitter rather than the manager. I do get a thrill out of paging the negligent breeders to pick up their kids because it pisses them off to have their blissful alone time interrupted. I want to … Continue reading The Unsupervised Prophet
Kevin Smith, I Know You Were Writing About Me
In Clerks, Dante reminded me of well…me. What kind of intelligent, fairly nice human being drops out of college to be near someone of the opposite sex, works at a low-paying, thankless job for way too long and whines about their existence incessantly? Me. Brian O'Halloran played that roll to perfection so it was a … Continue reading Kevin Smith, I Know You Were Writing About Me
The True Meaning of Love is Attention to Detail
Here’s what I learned about Alamo City Comic Con. The fans who wear costumes are dead serious about it. I was pretty flattered that a few of them said they liked my Because Daryl Said So t-shirt. I devoured comic books long before any of the people I met were even born, but I’m not … Continue reading The True Meaning of Love is Attention to Detail
Beauty & the Beast – Alamo City Comic Con
I had to catch a ride to Alamo City Comic Con due to a condition in my ankle called sinus tarsi syndrome. All you need to know about this problem of mine is that if you cut me off in traffic it will then be your problem. A tow truck and a trip to the … Continue reading Beauty & the Beast – Alamo City Comic Con
I Suck at Selling Books, But…
...I rock at grabbing Negan at Alamo City Comic Con. Had a great time today hanging out with Tea, Mike, Alicia and Alex at Voix Boutique, A Geek Chic Boutique at Alamo City Comic Con. I feel like Lucille bashed my brains in after working until 11 pm and getting only 3 hours sleep, so … Continue reading I Suck at Selling Books, But…
