Three hundred thirty nine

Last day of 2014, feels like just about any other.

X-Aspirations 1 down now moving on to Danger Room 1. Now moving on to Children of the Atom 1 which is a British couple way different aesthetic.

Rachel and Miles issue 4 wherein they sum up the rest of the Silver Age X-men which means that Children of the Atom, X-Aspirations and  Danger Room are the silver age X-men shows left.

I remembering listening to Uncanny X-cast back in the day but that was 2006ish. Lets see.

And finally X-Addiction which is the precursor to Cultural Wormhole's X-Nation show.

I'm going to be able to get the three mangas I forget to order this past August on Amazon, so I'll probably do that tonite. That will only leave me with 4 comics and a magazine still to get. One or two of the comics is out and it looks like I can get the magazine from the publisher. We'll see.

Excellent dinner and 'us' time watching the Pens to finish out the year.

I think in my comic reading and podcast listening I am going to make it the year of the X. Focusing on the characters that got me into comics maybe will help re energize my interest.

I have started out by listening to episodes 1 and 2 of Rachel and Miles X-plain the X-men and episode 1 of X-Aspirations. I have also located X-Aspirations, Uncanny X-cast, X-Nation, Children of the Atom and Danger Room.

R & M, X-Aspirations ,Danger Room and Children of the Atom all started with the Silver Age X-men. Uncanny X-cast and X-Nation all started where ever the X-men were when those folks wanted to start their shows so they started current with then.

Sounds like we are gonna go out tonite for dinner, probably Outback.

Outback was atrocious. Gonna be  a while before we go back to this one.

Chillin with college football on the tube while I mess with comic books. Chef Teri is reading up on why Christians are leaving churches, interesting factoids she's throwing out. Many of them sound personally familiar.

Long boring, unfulfilling mind numbing, soul taxing day at work. Then a bullshit test for a CPR certification I don't even want anymore.

I hurt Chef Teri's feelings this evening by trying to do something I thought would be good but didn't go about it the best way.

WVU lost their bowl game.

My man juice shot hurts like a mutha fucka.

Watched 74 percent of my just cashed check go away in one fell swoop.

Not really liking today much.

Surfing Facebook restaurants and musical groups to lighten the mood.

Three hundred thirty six

NFL Gameday last of the regular season.

I think some manga reading is in order today.

Part of me wants to record all my readings in blog posts but when I sit down to write I zone out. I guess that means I don't really wanna blog about it.

The Steelers are looking pretty damn flat.

Nick came over.

Four games watched so far but a break for pens hockey.

Fifth bowl game of the day while the Pens decide to loose.

Quarter watched now back to finish watching the Pens loose their third straight. Yay!!


Three hundred thirty four

Spent a bit of the day with Chef Teri's mom as she recovered from a recent fall to give her brother and sister in law some time off.

Continued my Bowl quest, minus one.

Recorded Dance Fevre. The last of the year and for a while as the next show isn't on till March.

Christmas day!!!

Comic stuff and lego's dominated my gifts this year. OYO Pens figures, three separate comic themed items and a fourth that I'm going to use comically. Excellent haul.

We started watching one of my gifts, The Glen Miller Story but had to pause to go over to Chef Teri's mom's for a bit. I cried at the end, I always do.

Back now doin the normal Thursday internet surfing.

Strictly Come Dancing time first the Final of season 12 and maybe the Christmas special all in preparation for a Dance Fevre recording.

Three hundred thirty two

Errands, The Hobbit: Battle of Five Armies, more errands and then home this Christmas Eve.

Dinner at Outback. It was good but my personal chef, Chef Teri does better.

Lots of reno shows and then finally a Bowl game. I missed one earlier today so my goal of a quarter of each game is shot but that's ok because I had a date with my bride.

Three hundred thirty one

Done with work for the next five days, which is good have to go back after that which is bad.

Boca Raton Bowl first up for the evening's entertainment.

Feels like another Dr Strange night.

Poinsettia Bowl first quarter to finish the evening.

Took some holiday confections into work today and they met approval.

Watched a quarter of today's bowl game continuing the streak so far.

Wonderful dinner at home with my bestie tonite.

Pens on next.

Chill morning.

Went out shopping for Chef Teri gifts. Disappointed with my output but I'm not quite done yet.

Home in time to watch the Steelers win their game and make the playoffs this season. Next week's game against Cincinatti will be big.

Now I'm crusing best off blogs for the music scene. Lookin for new stuff that I may like.

Three hundred twenty eight

Watching the first bowl game of the season while the aire is filled with the smell of cakes and cookies. Starting to feel more like Christmas.

Finally posted Dance Fevre 163. I'm a big phat slacker.

Chef Teri would seriously big me 'fat ass' if I ate all the yummy stuff she can cook. Unfortunately we both have to live by George Washington's advice of moderation in all things.

First of thirty nine quarters of bowl watching in the books. Actually I just watched the entire RL New Orleans bowl.

Next up the Gildan New Mexico bowl and more DR Strange

Chef Teri has put me in chrage of figuring out dinner this evening as she is occupying herself with cookie/cake making.

Early dinner is consumed and now it's time to...keep doin what the hell I've been doin all day.

Pens on!


Three hundred twenty seven

Set up my Fantasy Bowl picks this morning. Except for a couple games I went with the odds makers.

Finished up the first season of The Knick tonite. I like it glad it got another season.

Home now. Frustrated because yet again I managed to say something that hurt Chef Teri's feelings.

Had some killer meatball subs for dinner. Man they were good!

Now catching up on Manhattan. Theses folks lie way too much.

Finally The Knick.

Tuesday, December 16, 2014

Three hundred twenty four

Finished up watching Strictly Come Dancing for the week and recorded the latest episode of Dance Fevre afterward.

Now watching A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Postmodern Jukebox is really cool.

Home, not at work that makes everything some better automatically.

Excellent dinner of Chef Teri's special chicken wrap...kinda things with Ranch dressing and Pico.

Now watching the Pens after watching the first half of the last Strictly Come dancing performance show.

I'm looking forward to some comic book reading I'm planning to do in the new year.

Leaving Megalopolis was a good read hopefully there will be more.

I tried reading Seconds but only made it about a third of the way through before the totally juvenile art just completely took me out of the story.

Three hundred twenty two

It was very disconcerting this morning to wake up and look across the bed and instead of seeing Chef Teri instead I spied our bitch cat in bed with me. Yuck!

Now some time for Gameday Morning on the NFL network. By this time next month the football season will be over, sadness.

Which means we still have hockey until April.

Watching the Steelers this season has been no where near as much fun in season past. The secondary is very nearly an embarrassment.


Saturday, December 13, 2014

Three hundred twenty one

Up early this morning and away to the landfill to divest Chef teri of unwanted materials from her recent 'Purge".

Nick's over and it's an entirely chill day.

Concord University Mt Lions lost their DII semifinal game.

Pens at Columbus tonite minus Sid.

Back to work today which is payday.

Sounds like we might get a pizza from our favorite place tonite. Good eat s for MMA watchin.

TUF 20 finale is really good. Chick fights and none of the bitchiness.

Three hundred ninteen

Helped Chef Teri divest herself of many years worth of clothes and belongings. At one point in an effort to correct a fiscal shortfall I went through what I call 'The Great Purge". I known how hard it can be getting rid of stuff.

Now how eatin some killer chili and watching TUF season 20.

I don't mind and will support women MMA fighters but damn I don't want to watch the behind camera boo hoo, whining and bitchiness most of these females seem to exhibit.

This TUF season hasn't done anything to help woman's MMA. Those that participated should really be embarrassed by the way they way representative.

Home and feeling very blah.

Constantine is first up, then Covert Affairs. Forever, The Librarians and finally Elementary.

Tuesday, December 9, 2014

Three hundred seventeen.

Work is work. Did take Thursday off...but it's to help Chef Teri with some stuff so it's not really a day off just off from work.

Nothing really planned tonite maybe we'll watch some shows try to catch up to the winter finale on some.

Big salad and Resurrection. Z Nation season finale and Grimm winter finale.


Monday, December 8, 2014

Three hundred sixteen

On the docket today is to make it  through eight hours of work, dinner, a Dance Fevre recording and finally a Pens game all before 2000. I think we can doit, although that first item may be the toughest.

Home again.

Yummy chicken fajita dinner, kinda.

Dance Fevre recorded and it and The Mighty Thorcast edited and posted.


Sunday, December 7, 2014

Three hundred fifteen

Up kinda early for a weekend but that was because my head, back and neck wanted me up.

Breakfast and early NFL shows then NFL Gameday morning until the Steelers were on at 1300.

It's always a nicer Sunday when the Steelers won. Watching my fantasy team has gotten to be a chore, enough so that I probably will not do football next season.

Getting Strictly Come on tonite so we can come home tomorrow evening and record Dance Fevre before the Pens game.

I hurt Chef Teri's feelings today and I felt really shitty which is good cause it means I don't want that to happen. Callousness will never be a good sign.


Saturday, December 6, 2014

Three hundred fourteen

Late morning. College Gameday. A hour of football and the the pens game. Nice day so far.

Time to record a Mighty Thorcast, bbiab. Done.

Homemade soup for dinner...chicken vegetable I am told.

Alabama won the SEC.

UFC 181 prelims on now.

American adult life is by and large the mind numbing process of repeating the same circles of actions and behaviors. We all do the same things the same ways at the same times on the same days. Some folks take comfort in the knowledge of encountering and being able to plan for the expected. I however have found myself in soul sucking boredom with the responsible adult life I have to live.

When we do find something new what do we do? Drop it into the machine thus destroying some part of what made it appealing in the first place. I don't know what the change is but man I am BORED with life at the moment. Virtually anyone could take my place and my part of the machine would continue with very little interruption. That's a sobering thought.

A while back podcasting filled the 'new' niche but I feel like it too has now become just another part of my personal background noise.

I have thought and discussed with my personal counselor and have come to a conclusion. It is equally disrespectful to the source material to take a property and anglicize it as it is to take the politically incorrect aspects out when a property is remade. Most folks of a liberal bent feel the former is an affront but the later a necessity. I call a hypocrite a hypocrite.

Love going to the laundromat....yeah.

Lazy evening with Chef Teri who is not feeling too well.

Three hundred twelve

Insomnia is starting to be an issue more and more, not really sure why. It hasn't been a big problem yet but too much more and it will be.

Pens and WVU basketball both lost boooo.

Wednesday, December 3, 2014

Three hundred eleven

Lazy evening watching Pens hockey and finishing my first cozy mystery.

The book wasn't too bad I liked the energy it seemed to have. Next up is a historical mystery with no where near the energy as the last book but more a solemn literary stuffiness.

Feeling very ho hum today, not sure why.

Watched Strictly Come for the week, recorded and posted Dance Fevre 161.

Caught up on Walking Dead...damn I know people die but Beth's was totally pointless. Now some Z Nation.

Grimm and Constantine to finish the evening.

Tuesday, December 2, 2014

Quick trip out to the mall and dinner after work this evening.

Now chillin in front of some Monday Night Football.
