I wish I remembered when I was first introduced to Shonen Knife. I think it was sometime in the late 80s. My best friend at the time had a cassette. I only remember in passing having heard it once or twice. It wasn’t until several years later, 1991 or 1992 that I started to actually be…
It has been incredibly busy, as you can tell by the complete lack of posts over the previous week, but things have been so busy here. So busy that I haven’t had much in the way of pictures, so I only have a few to share. First up we have Xavier being rather daring on…
We got a code for the game to be played on the PlayStation 3, but you can get this game for pretty much any current console or PC. This is a game that, unlike the previous LEGO Marvel game, focuses on the Marvel Cinematic Universe. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes utilized a lot of different characters…
Following up on the previous LEGO DC videos, we are getting a variant of the plot from LEGO Batman 3. The basic plot of both has Brainiac coming to Earth and the Justice League foiling the nefarious plot. Let’s be clear, this is silly entertainment, geared towards younger audiences. Yes, parents who are fans of…
Was this series planned to only have five episodes? I think so because what we get is C-3P0 retelling the stories of the previous (to The force Awakens) Star Wars films through his rather biased filter. Five episodes of “LEGO Star Wars: Droid Tales” were broadcast on Disney XD, and my kids loved them. Particularly because…
Yes, it has been a couple of weeks, I know. And I don’t even have pictures of each of the kids to make up for it. Here is Ciaran getting a little recognition for attending Cub Scout Winter Camp. Last week I took Xavier and Tevye to the zoo one morning. I keep meaning to…
We are driving to… somewhere, I don’t remember, and it is not important to this story. Anyway, I place Queen’s Day At The Races in the CD player. As the first song “Tie Your Mother Down” finishes Xavier asks “Is this Queen?” I was both pleased and proud my 5 year old recognized the band….
The box came a few days ago and August tore right into it. With a little assistance. Let’s take a closer look at the contents. Here is the game – Elliot Quest. The Deadpool keychain The Geek Fuel magnet is more decorative than functional. The magazine. While not officially licensed, it is pretty obvious which…
I am taking this idea from Britt, who apparently got it form somewhere else (but didn’t source). While I already have my own bucket list, it is a good exercise to see what else someone thinks of as worthy of a bucket list. Here it list is in bold, and an “X” inside the parenthesis…
This past weekend was Winter Camp – the first time August did not go since he is now a Boy Scout. Well, I could have taken him if I had registered him as a Den Chief, but it was nice just having Ciáran and me there. Sadly the snow began to melt the week before…
