There are a few character properties for which I am a complete sucker. Franchises that have me interested at their mere mention. James Bond. Godzilla. Flash Gordon. And Tarzan. This does not mean whatever is offered gets an automatic “pass” with me. There have been some awful Flash Gordon offerings (I’m looking at you SyFy)…
I have always liked The Eurythmics. I was introduced to them, as most people were, through the single “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of These)” and its corresponding music video. It may have been a bit unusual to see a woman appearing like that int he music video in 1983, but when the band appeared on…
Not a lot today. Dela had a massive dance recital as well as a gymnastics meet but none of those pictures turned out. Ciaran and Xavier both ended their baseball and t-ball seasons and the pictures of those didn’t turn out usable as well. Here are the pictures that did turn out. August and I…
Looking for something different to give dad this Father’s Day? The Pike Place Market has a couple of offerings that might be of interest. For $199 and $229 there are two themed baskets on offer, both of which involve some tasty liquid, food, and a Market Charm. More on the Market Charm in a moment….
This was the most disappointing box, but that’s not saying too much. August likes the Geek Fuel subscription boxes each month and there were still things in this box he liked but overall this one for the most part missed the mark. Let’s start with the shirt. It’s a Game Of Thrones shirt, which doesn’t…
I missed out on seeing Zootopia in theaters, so when the announcement was made the film would be arriving on Blu-ray soon I was excited. I heard good things about Zootopia and it seems that Disney Studios is enjjoying another renaissance. The film tells the story of Judy, a farm rabbit who dreams big despite…
I like this game. I want that said at the onset of this review. I might have enjoyed it more on the PS4 because it seems this game was specifically developed for a controller, not a mouse and keyboard. My issues with the game have to do with the controls. Before I get into what…
I know it’s been a couple of weeks but I don’t feel too bad about it because I have posted a few pictures such as from Camporee and the Mariners game during the interval. To that end this is going to focus on the 2 year old for the most part. But not all. Let’s start…
It was 1995 and Laura and I were travelling around the world. Literally. From Seattle I met up with her in Hong Kong, we took the train from Beijing to Moscow, then to St. Petersburg. We would eventually move on to Warsaw, Berlin, Paris then Amsterdam before flying home, but it is a story from…
When I was 10 years old Saturdays meant cartoons and afternoon movies. I would wake up early to watch Saturday morning cartoons such as “Super Friends”, “Hong Kong Phooey”, “Land Of The Lost” or “Speed Buggy”. The afternoons would be spent perhaps at a movie theater, but mostly watching the local stations broadcast their weekly…
