RIP Futurama
Joe SieglerOne of the more annoying TV decisions in awhile comes to a head this Sunday when Fox airs the final new episode of Futurama. This show started off weak for me, but it got wickedly funny, and while it was frequently bizarre, it was almost always entertaining. It’s probably more funny than the Simpsons is […]
Pat Benatar – Not an 80’s flashback
This weekend, my wife and I are NOT taking a step into the past, as we’re going to see Pat Benatar in Ft. Worth on Saturday night. We’re going to see a current modern musician perform. Not seeing an 80’s flashback, DAMMIT! I’ve always listened to Pat Benatar, and probably would have stopped listening after […]
Yeah right, like I want to trade this guy
No thank you. I want to keep #3 right where he belongs, in Texas. Is he overpaid? Of course he is. But he’s the best player in baseball, and I fail to see how that can be considered a liability like a lot of the national media is doing right now because he expressed a […]
Chipotle!
Good news and bad news. One of my favorite restaurants is Chipotle. They have burritos to die for. Unfortunately, they’re not the greatest things for you. I’m on Weight Watchers and the points that the Chipotle Burrito takes up is about 75% of my entire food intake for the day. :eek: Still, it can be […]
My latest CD’s
The two latest CD’s I have picked up are Anthrax’s “We’re Coming for You All”, and Queensryche’s “Tribe”. I’ve been a big fan of both of these bands for some time. Queensryche is a band I’ve liked longer – as I’ve been listening to them since the mid 80’s. Anthrax not as long, and I […]
Kira is 3!
One of my two Tonkinese cats just had a birthday yesterday. Kira Nerys Siegler turned 3 yesterday. She was the first of our two Tonkinese cats, and is a wonderful cat. She’s a great lap cat, a cat who loves to climb up on you and sit on your chest if you’re in the right […]
Austin Gaming Expo 2003
Over the weekend, my brother and I attended the Austin Gaming Expo which took place in Round Rock, Texas. Most of it was related to classic gaming, with a big emphasis on the Atari 2600, but there was more modern stuff there (in fact, there were two seperate Halo tournaments going on). It was nice […]
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
I went to see Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines over the weekend. I, like most folks hold Terminator 2: Judgement Day up as one of the greatest action movies ever. That still holds up today, as I watched T2 the night before going to see T3. T2 is still great. I was surprised at […]
You’re Out – And You’re Ugly, Too!
You’re Out and You’re Ugly, Too! : Confessions Of An Umpire With Attitude by Ken Griffey, Durwood Merrill, Jim Dent Synopsis: After decades of abuse and spittle, Major League umpire Durwood Merrill strikes back with some pretty incisive, funny, and no-holds-barred anecdotes. When his book stays in the game, it’s a real hoot, light and […]
Seasons in Hell
Synopsis: Assigned to cover the Texas Rangers for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram in early 1973, gonzo sportswriter Mike Shropshire looked forward to the perks and padded expense account that went along with the job. He never dreamed he’d have to earn every penny–following arguably the worst team in baseball history. Full of wild games and […]
