Thanksgiving Preps GO!

So we battled the lines today to get our Holiday trimmings. This year is the first time in my three plus relationship where it will just be the two of us for Thanksgiving and I’m both excited and apprehensive. It’s almost like a badge of honor to say, “yeah that’s right I volunteered to stand [...]

Flashback to the 80’s

I’ve been on an 80’s kick of mass proportions lately. Everything from watching She-ra and He-man, Silverhawks, Thundercats and old school Spidey cartoons through reading The Saga of Crystar – Crystal Warrior and Amethyst – Princess of Gemworld.

Ouran High School Host Club

I’ve just finished re-watching Ouran Host Club, my second time so that M. could watch with me. I’m looking forward to the American release by Funimation next year, though I’m scared of what the voice acting will be like…especially for characters like Renge who is French.
The Voices of poor accents hum through my ears.
That said [...]

What if…

So I’ve spent a bit of time today re-reading the old Marvel What If comics. It’s just amazing to me how many of the stories are either, “any change to the story means DOOOOOOMMMMM,” or just the weirdest cracktastic this-should-really-be-fanfic stories.
Like really Wolverine VS. Conan? Ummm short, hairy guy with adamantium laced bones and crazy [...]
