I’ve got Turtle balls!
When I saw a tweet from my pal Dex of AEIOU & Sometimes Why that mentioned "Stuffed Turtle Balls" I thought it sounded like a gross appetizer from a fancy French restaurant (for the record, I don't think I could ever bring myself to eat Turtles, since they're...
21 Boringly Blue Things About Me
On one hand, I think I should be given a pat on the back for making such a glorious return to form after being absent from these weekly League assignments for at least a couple of months now. On the other hand, this was such an easy post to do because I basically...
Mandatory Two Month Check-In
Sorry, this is going to be one of those "Has it really been X days/weeks/months since I last posted something?" kind of posts, which are the worst kind of posts. Seriously, I hate these posts, but what I hate even more is looking at the calendar each day and seeing...
I’m either too cool for Cult Film Club, or not cool enough.
Either way, I wasn't able to join my co-hosts Paxton Holley and Shawn Robare down in Jacksonville, FL today for a real-life meetup of the Cult Film Club. That makes me sad-faced, and not only because Shawn tells me I missed out on delicious barbecue and Mountain...
A bunch of awesome crap I’d buy from Hake’s if I wasn’t broke!
Back in March, my homies and I in The League went on a fantasy shopping spree to Hake's Americana and Collectibles where I racked up a bill for over $1600 worth of useless but totally awesome crap that I'm certain would look fantastic adorning the walls of Casa de...
The Power of this Creepy Candy Store Logo Compels Me
Just a word of warning, this post will contain a bunch of loosely associated memories with no real point to my sharing any of them, beyond just getting them out of my system so I can feel better. Nostalgia is kind of like barfing that way. What started as a...
Finding a place for Ouya in my crowded gaming life.
It's been almost a month since I've had my Ouya, the upstart open-source game console I backed on Kickstarter, and I've been wanting to share my thoughts about it--mainly how, despite being a little rough around the edges, it's well worth its $99 pricetag and why...
10 Summer Vacation Survival Tips from ‘The Great Outdoors’
Hey, look at me doing a League post! As some of you know, life just keeps throwing me curve balls covered in dog shit carrying communicable diseases that have kept me from blogging and being social (okay, I admit some of my time away was for gaming, too), but after...
Pizza Gyoza is Not Just for Ninja Turtles
Regular readers should already know I'm a huge fan of Nickelodeon's new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show (and Ninja Turtles in general), but something you might not know is that I also love to cook! Though I've never had the motivation to start a cooking blog...
Now that I’ve beaten The Last of Us, what should I do with my life?
Am I proud of the fact I spent 20-some hours playing The Last of Us since last Friday night? No. Am I proud of the fact I consumed approximately 14 Fig Newtons, 23 Diet Pepsis, an entire box of Special K popcorn chips, at least half a box of wine (yes, a box), and...
AEIOU & Sometimes Awesome Stuff in the Mail
Well, I guess that's one way to get me back in the swing of blogging... Send me cool surprise gifts in the mail and I'll have no choice but to write a thank-you post! That's what Dex of AEIOU and Sometimes Why did, anyway. Well played, Dex. It turned out to be an...
Why do toy makers think little girls are obsessed with poop?
That's my burning question for The League this week, which asks "why?" No, really, WHY? Profound, I know. I was willing to let this whole pooping pets thing slide when I thought there was only one of these dolls--specifically, the one with the glitter-pooping...
