The cat really likes our Christmas tree. We haven’t gotten around to taking down decorations yet.

I knew something was wrong when we got to the armory. Nobody was hustling. There was no nervous energy or anticipation like when the older guys got called to fight in Iraq. Only two-thirds of the company actually showed up. Some of the other guys had already packed up and headed to Canada or the...

I love the zombie outbreak part, where society is still functioning but it's obvious that things are beginning to fall apart. Schools shut down, news reporters get attacked at the scene, and the authorities take increasingly drastic steps to stop the spread. Fear the Walking Dead started off...

A three-day trip requires one suitcase for me. I might pack an extra pair of boxers and an extra pair of socks, just in case. That works for my wife, who loves to fill both of my bags with her stuff. She will also cram in more shirts for me “because you never know.”

The wife and I are visiting my folks in San Diego. It has been a great trip, but I have learned that girls pack so much SHIT.

*checks out Wikipedia* :eek: How is he not in jail?

I gave my US history students extra credit for watching Woman King. Its theatrical run coincided with our unit on the Triangle Trade.

This was released during the CFP National Championship Game. It looks quite good.

I'm late to the party but I finally started watching Peacemaker. I generally dislike modern DC films apart from Shazam and Lego Batman. In fact, my favorite Batman is Adam West and I prefer Cesar Romero's Joker over anybody else (except maybe Jack Nicholson). I think Christopher Reeve is far and...

Especially if she gets an animal sidekick.

The Republicans made a deal with the devil over the previous four decades. They let Newt Gingrich turn politics into pro wrestling, they accepted the Tea Partiers with open arms, and then they spent the past six years encouraging the absolute worst impulses of their electorate. They got what...

Both of my parents came down with COVID a few days ago. They went for nearly three years without getting it, and it finally reached them. They're both vaccinated and double-boosted, so that's good. They both feel like they have head colds right now. I was worried about my Mom's shredded...

Happy New Year!

I just read about that. Bummer.

Most people didn’t. The show didn’t even last a season before cancellation. It came out in early 2002 and I’d venture to say that a lot of American audiences were just glued to news post-9/11.

It does appear that some of the characters are just replacements, but maybe that's a good thing. I remember That '80s Show. It focused on twenty-somethings in San Diego. They were creative musician types, punk girls, and yuppies. The actors weren't bad. In fact, most still have productive...

Color me excited.

I was unable to watch it thanks to cable company turf wars but I kept up on the ESPN site and was still excited. I’ll be able to watch the replay later.

Argentina just won in penalty kicks. I was going for France but am still impressed the French equalized like they did. That was one hell of a game.

I’m on the season finale right now. This show has come such a long way. The series started as Star Trek with fart jokes. Season 2 showed some maturity and battles with real stakes. Season 3 gets into some heavy material surrounding ethics and philosophy. It actually has heart. There are even...
