Settle in, it’s gonna be a long one. First up we have Saturday night. We go to the Easter Vigil mass, which begins late – about 8:30 or 9 depending on the date. This year it started at 9pm. It goes late, nearly to midnight, but it’s my favorite mass of the year. That’s not…
Beware The Batman is another rebooting of a beloved and established character. Instead of going forward with a unified universe building on the Green Lantern animated series Warner Brothers and Cartoon Network instead cancel that show and reboot Batman. Only this time there’s a few differences to what longtime fans are used to. This might…
I’m in the kitchen working on dinner when Ciárán comes through on his way outside to play in the back yard. As he walks through the door he turns around and says, “What if every time you say ‘No way, José!’ some guy named José popped up and said ‘Oh, man!’” And with that he…
It’s a shame DC and Warner Brothers can’t seem to get their collective strategies worked out. “Green Lantern: The Animated Series” is a great example of how a show could easily have been the cornerstone for a new wave of series that would create a sort of unified universe that we saw from 1992 to…
I watched most of “Batman: The Brave And The Bold” when it came out on DVD in various volumes that were, thankfully, sequentially oriented. Now Warner Brothers has released the series on Blu-ray in season sets, starting with the first one. Here we get all 26 episodes featuring the Dark Knight teaming up each episode…
Do you remember rock and roll radio? Oh, wait, sorry, I usually have the Ramones playing while I type reviews. Do you remember Chip’s Challenge? I don’t. It was a tile-based puzzle game from about 24 years ago that was apparently developed by a guy named Chuck. He is, all these years later, sucked into…
I recently finished ripping my music – well, most of it. My general “A-Z” stuff has been converted to MP3 with most of my soundtracks and collections as well as the classical music still waiting. There are a few random CDs that didn’t make it, such as a Robert Plant CD that simply refuses to…
Spring is here, and you know what that means. Unpredictable weather. At least in Seattle. Sunday was nice so we went to the playground. August proceeded to get stuck going over an area of the play structure in a manner he shouldn’t have. Oh well. At least the other kids behaved themselves. …
I stopped collecting concert ticket stubs a long time ago. A couple of my autographed ones have long since vanished, unfortunately, and with e-tickets and such, the importance of them have diminished. As such I have gone through and discarded most, if not all of them (though I am sure there is yet another stack…
