Rambler Don’s Random Rambles
Posted on April 23, 2012 | No CommentsIs Avengers out yet? Why is it not out yet? WHY? If you can’t tell I’m starting to get impatient. It really is all I can think about right now. It is most likely not healthy to obsess so… but I digress. Here is a... -
Earth Day the Geek Way
Posted on April 22, 2012 | No CommentsEarth Day began in 1970 by then Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson who was so distraught by a recent oil spill off the coast of California and inspired by recent student anti-war protest that he called for an acknowledgement or celebration of the planet to be... -

Posted on April 16, 2012 | No CommentsI was thinking the other day, yes hard to believe but it did happen. What if my idea of a good neighbor was different from what State Farm says a good neighbor is like? They say are they one and I feel they should base... -

Posted on April 2, 2012 | No CommentsQuickie movie review time! And yes they all old ones I had meant to write and never did. But, they aren’t that old. So enjoy. 21 JUMP STREET My only complaint was the oddity of seeing a skinny Jonah Hill. Otherwise this is an awesome... -

Posted on March 19, 2012 | No CommentsI realized something today. Watered down Kool-Aid has got to be among the most disgusting things ever. It no longer has that lovely powered drink flavor when it has been watered down. It now only tastes like some rancid water that has been left out... -

Posted on February 20, 2012 | 1 CommentThis is the first vintage Star Wars toy I ever had. He is my favorite and even though he looks like hell. I say it means some kid many decades before really enjoyed this guy. I really can’t recall how long I’ve had him but... -

Posted on February 13, 2012 | No CommentsFirst off today, a word of praise for the I Heart Radio app that I recently downloaded for my Android phone. I love this app, seriously. Plus it is free and I like that along with no commercials, for now. First rant. I have seen... -

Posted on February 6, 2012 | No CommentsFirst off I had a busy week so I got no further along in my quest to finish the Star Wars set. Life happens. I am also currently busy trying to get my ducks in a row for JoeCon. It should be a good one... -

Posted on January 30, 2012 | 2 CommentsI got further along into the new Star Wars Blu-Ray set. Not much though. I still like what I am seeing though. Any who, when I get to a certain point I will do a little review of what I’ve thought. Not that it matter... -

Posted on January 23, 2012 | No CommentsThis week is sort of a bust for me. I am now finally getting around to watching the Star Wars Blu-Ray editions. Sadly I didn’t get far enough to really have any review ready. So much for that deadline. Personal goal fail right now, ah... -

Posted on January 16, 2012 | No CommentsThere isn’t much to discuss this go around. Just a slow week all the way around. Mattel has finally decided to announce that the Retro Action line is dead. They did this in a QNA session and not in an official announcement as has become... -

Posted on January 9, 2012 | No CommentsHow about the things I enjoyed about 2011! Quasi-List Time! I could talk about Walking Dead for hours and I think we all know what I think so I will just sum it up real quick. I like everything except this new trend to have... -

Posted on December 21, 2011 | No CommentsToday I realized something. Writers block sucks. Okay, not so much a realization as a remembering of it. I just can’t understand why it so infuriating to not know what to say. Though really speakers block can be a much worse thing. I mean just... -

Posted on December 14, 2011 | No CommentsI think I might be slowly losing my mind. Nah… I mean I am quickly losing my mind. I just realized that we will be coming up very quickly now onto my column being a year old. How about that? It is hard to believe... -

Posted on December 7, 2011 | No CommentsI guess we have all had a chance to let that mid-season ender of Walking Dead sink in. My thought after that episode ended is what they will end up doing with Shane. That guy is a complete loose cannon and I think he is... -
