The dream started out in small country town. I was more a spectator than a participant at this point. A young deputy sheriff was sparing with his brother, the latter who was giving the former some grief about something. The brother hit the deputy and took off running. The deputy was then in pursuit, tackling the brother then running himself. ( Read more... )

My love for horror-themed TV and movies is pretty well known. I'm always looking for things I've not seen. One of the podcasts I listen to is all about 1970's horror TV shows and movies. A recent post by them was about a British TV-series called "Thriller", which aired on British TV in the early 1970's ( Read more... )

I find myself less and less enamored with TV these days. There are a few standouts that I watch, but I have found myself drawn more and more to cable, Netflix, and Amazon Prime for nightly entertainment ( Read more... )

Whenever I work on an issue of my comic book, I tend to fall into "hermit mode," a sort of self-imposed exile from social things while I draw, ink, or color pages. It's not necessarily intentional, but I tend not to seek anything social to do in the same window of time.

The timing is good as I relaxed a bit this week having been the acting boss the week before. For the most part, I settled in on the couch most evenings, ( Read more... )

However, despite my usual dislike for it, I have watched "RuPaul's Drag Race" since the beginning because I find it to be a fascinating window into a ( Read more... )

Sometimes the hardest part of recovering from a cold is trying to physically get back into the swing of the usual routine. Those energy reserves that normally help with the odd stresses of the day just aren't back yet, so the end of the day leaves me unusually drained ( Read more... )

While I've been sick, I've not done much other than flop on the couch and watch TV. I've been in recovery mode. I think I'm about 90% better, so I'm going to attempt going to work tomorrow. My co-workers will just have to get used to my raspy, frog voice for a while.

Still sick here, but better ( Read more... )

Nothing major happened this week. It's been busy at work and I've been relatively tired when I get home from work. A few naps occurred. Here are some bits and pieces of news and other things I remember (so far):

• Glenn Frey of the Eagles passed away this week. During my teenage years, his hits "The Heat is On" and "You Belong to the City" were ( Read more... )
