Once again, it’s time to get back into the swing of blogging. Always lots of thoughts, ramblings and sightings in my life, just hard to find the time to document them. Alas, a long weekend gives excellent opportunity to dive back in. And I return with a holiday edition of Friday Funnies. No better way […]
Tonight I get the pleasure of seeing one of my favorite people in person. Oddly, he’s not super-famous or anything, just a guy who does card tricks, has a voice made for storytelling and flat-out seems to be a cool guy. It’s Ricky Jay, someone you’re more likely familiar with from his small roles in […]
Because ever since I saw this movie I don’t think I can enter a steakhouse without checking the menu to see if they have something in line with the ol 96er. And the thought of eating a plate of gristle makes me want to vomit. But in a funny kind of way, much like getting […]
My recent column reviewing NBA 2K13 and NBA Baller Beats. Just glad the wife wasn’t around to watch me nearly shatter multiple bones in my body trying to play Baller Beats. It’s a rough one, kids. And thanks to the North Jersey papers for publishing. […]
My recent column reviewing XCOM: Enemy Unknown and The Walking Dead: Episode 4 — Around Every Corner. Thanks to the Toledo Blade for publishing. […]

And the hits keep on coming from Hollywood. They are continuing to dip into the well of my childhood (or near-childhood, at least) and take things that I remember and sometimes deeply appreciate and mock sad mockeries or interpretations out of them. First up is Carrie. This movie doesn’t come out until 2013, but let’s […]
All I wanted to do was pick up a pizza. Normally I am fine with letting parents do what they have to do to keep a kid entertained. My dog has a longer attention span than a young kid so I understand you gotta do whatever it takes to keep the kid from causing all […]
I delayed my normal posting of Friday Funnies because Twitter was abuzz yesterday with news that the delayed premiere of one of my favorite shows, Community, would not stop the cast from premiering … something. Well, they came through. Damn you, NBC. Just keep Community around for #sixseasonsandamovie […]
My recent column reviewing Dishonored. Only one game in this column because it was so good I ran long. Thanks to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune for publishing. […]
