You wouldn't believe the things that keep me up at night. Anxieties about whether I got the right thing signed for work (of course I did!). Random pains in my back. Trivial thoughts about pop culture issues dealing with fictional worlds that have no bearing on what happens in real life. Last night I was … Continue reading A Star Wars Question
I’m Kind of a Geek
Old Comics
I have an annual membership with DC Universe Infinite. When it first started out, as DC Universe, it was meant to be a streaming service. It's where TV shows like Titans, Doom Patrol, and Swamp Thing all got their start before being moved to HBO Max. Once HBO Max became an option, DC Universe, as … Continue reading Old Comics
I Built a Time Machine
Several weeks ago I decided to do something that I don't normally do. I spent money on myself. I like to think of myself as a fairly frugal individual, so it's rare that I will buy something that could be considered frivolous. But, in this case, it was something I really wanted and I argued … Continue reading I Built a Time Machine
Super Mario Bros.: A Reflection of Society?
I’ll admit that, once upon a time, I watched Glee. I didn’t watch it for long. I really enjoyed the music, but the stories were crap. I know that a lot of people will disagree with that, but it’s just my opinion. Anyway, there was this one episode where a character had a throw away line … Continue reading Super Mario Bros.: A Reflection of Society?

10 Marvel Moments That Live in My Head Rent Free
I remember a few months ago there was this trend on Twitter where various hashtags got going where people asked questions like, "What Star Wars scenes live rent free in your head?" or "What MCU moments live rent free in your head?" I'm not sure where the idea of something living rent free in our … Continue reading 10 Marvel Moments That Live in My Head Rent Free
Some Thoughts After Seeing Black Widow
I know... This a movie that's been out for more than a week now, so any kind of review I would have is way late. I don't care. Because this isn't so much a review of Black Widow as it's a collection of thoughts I've been having about the Marvel Cinematic Universe in general following … Continue reading Some Thoughts After Seeing Black Widow

A to Z Challenge – Zatanna
Welcome to the 2021 A to Z Challenge! My theme this year is DC Comics.

So stay tuned all month to (maybe) learn a little something about 26 corners … Continue reading A to Z Challenge – Zatanna
