2015 351

With this post, it looks like I am 14 short of one a day which is my ultimate goal for a daily blog. Oh well perhaps next year I'll hit it.

The watch ESPN app on my iPad is the coolest during Bowl season.

Moorexican for dinner.

Both semi final bowl games on the tube and Dr Who comics to round out my 2k books read this year.

2015 350

Comic Book day.

With today's books I now have everything to record Dance Fevre, The Mighty Thorcast, Lords of Order(x4) and Star Wars The New Era. Seems like it's time to get to it, oh plus 8 episodes of Ronin Rabbit in the can needing editing for the new year. We always have the books necessary for a Marvel Bronze Age episode and so the only one that we don't already have everything for is Emerald Archer.

Saturday I need to get the Ronin Rabbit and Lords of Order shows ready and posted. That will give me a month's lead time for Lords of Order and four month's lead time for Ronin Rabbit.

Marvel Bronze Age, Emerald Archer and Star Wars The New Era should be monthly, Thor and Ronin Rabbit bi-weekly. Lords of Order weekly and Dance Fevre weekly weekly from March to the end of the year, or so...depends on whether or not So You Think You Can Dance is coming back. If not seven months of weekly shows. My count has roughly 165-175 episodes of TEAL Production shows lined up for next year.

Workout didn't go as well as I wanted but better then it could have. the mile cardio at my usual pace nearly killed me for some reason.

Pens lost. Bowl games. Comic books.

Tuesday, December 29, 2015

2015 349

Struggling again this morning with the lack of weight lose results over the past 9 months. It sure makes it fuckin hard to motivate to do it considering the only aspect of working out I actually enjoy is the walk back to the car after.

Whatever I'll bitch and moan for a day or two and ultimately just do what I'm supposed to do as an adult. Just like the big boy I try to be.


2015 348

Monday, work, workout. Yeah lots to look forward to.

Much podcasts to catch up on.

Someone finally noticed my mom and dad were not at their place and trashed some stuff.

Moved up weights on all the things on one particular workout. The mile afterwards felt easy compared plus it was easier mentally because there was a Bowl game on the TV to watch.


Monday, December 28, 2015

2015 347

NFL Gameday to start things.

Watching the Steelers loose is never fun.

Twenty minute walk after the game to at least do something.

Pens lost also.

Quiet end to a short holiday vacation.

Saturday, December 26, 2015

2015 346

Up early this morning before going to see Star Wars at an IMAX in Blacksburg. Plans are to then hit up World Oasis and Eats.Probably include a meal while we are down there.

Nick and Des are supposed to go see mom and dad today. Interested to hear how that goes.

Episode 7 was cool, linner was cool, Oasis and Eats were ok.

Walked around the neighborhood to take advantage of the weather and get some exercise in tonite. Turned out to be about three quarters of a mile.

In for the night with Bowl games on the tube.

2015 345

Merry Christmas!!

Exchanged presents this morning. Which meant because I was too lazy to wrap we had each other close their eyes and handed each gift out. It was kinda cool but very non traditional. Not sure Chef Teri was for it but she seemed ok.

Went to Teri's mom house for dinner and the NCIS marathon which continued after we came home as well.

Pretty chill holiday. Facebook has all the gifts if you care.

Thursday, December 24, 2015

2015 344

Even when we don't use the alarm we 'naturally' get up between 7 and 7.30, not very late sleeping in my book.

Going to go see mom and dad today.

It's cool to see and hear Chef Teri put out by things political. I know she has thoughts and ideas about most stuff but few move her enough to speak on them.

Visit with mom and dad was ok. I guess more importantly it could be the last one I can easily attend. We kids have pretty much everything set up we just have to execute the various parts. Disappointed that Michael is as detached from his grandparents as he is everyone else in the family.

Dinner was cool, Levi and Rene picked up the tab.

Next year is stacking up to be the most physically active for me since probably high school.

Bowl games to chill by.

I think I found a potentially cool new radio station in Charleston, WTSQ 88.1. It's a community radio station staffed by volunteers. Some interesting sounding music shows so far.

2015 343

Last day of this week at work for me.

Comic Book Day.

Got my check a day early and can cash it this time a day early too, cool. Even cooler is that we are in shape that it's not important to us.

This morning I saw on Facebook a series of posts separated by both time and space on my feed from a podcasting associated where by he was complaining of the receipt of a gift through Amazon from an acquaintance that had been damaged all of which included pictures. The thoughts that first ran through my head included 'privileged' and 'first world problems'. I was really struck by my impression of the free time and headspace said individual had freed up from real world issues to make this a major issue for him worthy of repeated mention on social media. Just so fuckin petty I was astounded.

Thank you Lord for the financial position you have given to Chef Teri and I allowing us to live the life we live. Amen.

Everything is someone else's fault and the I am owed mentalities are the two best issues modern culture currently has sociologically. Take ownership of your person and what happens to it and work for something different instead of spending time thinking about and bitchin over what you have not.

Dinner and some college football to finish up the day.

2015 342

Blah work.

Body Combat, maybe with an acquaintance.

Damn Body Combat was the hardest, longest session they have had in the 3 months we have been attending. Sore and tired but kind of content.

Chef Teri, even when she tries to make meals from things she's not as familiar with can make some damn good food.

Sleep.

Tuesday, December 22, 2015

2015 341

With that I have uploaded onto Pinterest the cover of every book BOOM! has published this year. As well as quite a few others.

Menthol was kinda different but cool. No pun intended.

Pens win.

Dance Fevre recorded and posted.

Caught up on All New Marvel.

Sunday, December 20, 2015

2015 340

Steeler secondary suck major veiny donkey dicks today almost as much fun to watch as the Penguins current losing streak.

Steelers managed to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

On to Strictly Come Dancing.


2015 339

Cooking and cleaning in prep for company today.

Finished a novel. My fourth novel finished this month.

Recorded and posted Emerald Archer.

My brother just had a cool idea for a podcast but dang I can't do another one.

Saturday, December 19, 2015

2015 338

Friday, yay.

Say utility stuff at home leading to the knowledge that we have electrical issues in the front room that may be causing some electrical component issues in the past.

Notified the owner of such and an outside cable issue. Time to wait and see what gets done when all in an effort to help convince us to move the hell out.

Sitting here over lunch pondering which work out routine to do this evening. I suppose that's a good sign.

Work out was good.

Dinner t home was better

Friday, December 18, 2015

2015 337

Off today burning time.

Wrote up notes for a Star Wars recording tonite.

Body Combat is tre cool.

Chef Teri cooking confections is to die for.

Recorded Star Wars The New Era, now to edit and post but...

Bedtime.

Thursday, December 17, 2015

2015 336

Comic book day.

I need to hit the workout harder today to make up for slacking last night. Yesterday sucked balls.

I did and it hurt.

Pens lost.

Yummiest soup ever from Chef Teri.

Wednesday, December 16, 2015

2015 335

First thing this morning is satellite problems. We must correct to watch On the Fly.

Bad day only ended with bed.

Tuesday, December 15, 2015

2015 334

Full day of general family bullshit. However now I can have my mind at ease about my parents and move on with more immediate matters, what ever they may be.

Did manage to get home in time to work out, yeah!!! Not really.

So sleepy after the day we had can't even stay awake to watch the Pens lose.

2015 333

If al is as it should be we always wake up between seven and eight if left to our own devices. That doesn't sound very late but it is for us.

Figuring to do my first Periscope and record my DCBS unpacking for the month.

Didn't periscope, did record A Thorcast and Marvel Bronze Age.


Sunday, December 13, 2015

2015 332

Fixing up packages and Christmas cards.

last minute shopping to finish up our New York package.

Some division II football and hear that an MCE team Sheppard is in their national championship game. WV represent since the bigger schools can not let whomever can do it, do it.

Watched Ant Man last night, not bad.


2015 331

Nice quiet day.

Dealing with family shit, makes me want to just quit and move far far away.

Recorded, edited and posted a Star Wars show.


Friday, December 11, 2015

2015 330

Waking up without an alarm is tre yummy.

Chilling until we go to visit my parents.

I don't enjoy visiting my parents. We did what we could to do nice things for them and they and my sister frustrate the fuck out of me wanting me to disown all three.

Nice dinner at Cathedral Cafe with Chef Teri.

Wednesday, December 9, 2015

2015 329

Comic book day.

I believe Chef Teri and I have started looking for new wedding bands as mine no longer fits (I lost weight).

Workout.

Left over Christmas dinner from Chef Teri's place of employment. Mine is this coming Tuesday.

Tried to read some but man I feel shitty. Time for bed and a start over.

2015 328

Back to the grind.

Got some kickstarter stuff today. It's cool to support folks like that.

Spent way too much time and heartache trying to find a package that I had already taken receipt of.

Watched Strictly all ready for the next Dance Fevre episode.

DF, Star Wars The New Era, Emerald Archer all scheduled. Need to fit in a Thorcast as well. Maybe even get a jump start on some Lords of Order and/or Ronin Rabbit. Woof lots to record.

Had the best Dr visit I can remember this morning. Maybe it will be enough to keep me exercising for the next little bit.

Major change of plans for the evening. Some things are better some are not.

Ugh Body Combat sux much afterwards.

Monday, December 7, 2015

2015 327

Starting of with NFL Gameday Morning.

I actually saw something this morning I wanted to take a picture of and post, been a while.

We put up the Christmas tree and a nativity scene yesterday. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Pens lost, Steelers won.

Wings for dindin.

Saturday, December 5, 2015

2015 326

Chef Teri tripped to the Laundromay whilst I did some Christmas shopping this A.M.

Then we cleaned the apartment some after extracting the Christmas tree and decorations from it's 11+ month hiding place. Only to ultimately be replaced by a new one.

Bacon, lettuce and tomatoe wraps with ranch for lunch whil UFC fights filled the earspace via TV.

A new novel started.

Pens lost, WVU football lost but WVU basketball won.

2015 325

Friday!!!

Ink and Bone from Rachel Caine was a freakin great book. Excited about more from that universe.

Next up the second Harry Dresden novel.

UFC on the tube background all day.

Pizza for dinner was yummo.

Thursday, December 3, 2015

2015 324

I took vacation today and tomorrow to burn some that I have so I don't loose them at the end of the year. Still have 4 more after these two.

Filed about 4 months worth of paper comics.

Sixty five phone call minutes later we finally got our internet back.

Finished up notes on Star Wars: The Ne Era episode 6 recording tonite.

Contemplating trying to can some Lords of Order shows.

Four episodes of Lords of Order in the can, three more on tap for tomorrow.

Shhhh don't tell Chef Teri but I kinda dig Body Combat. Ouchy though.

Well, not SWTNE recording tonite.

UFC catchup instead. There are three PPVs I want to see by the end of the year. Another twenty or so shows and we will caught up since the beginning of 2012.

I tried reading Fish Police but it was one of the most disjointed comics I have ever read. I finished 9 but that was all 26 in the series.

2015 323

Comic book day.

Workout.

Dinner.

Blahsie blah.


Wednesday, December 2, 2015

2015 322

Nothing much today. Seems I am starting to feel the winterness that I usually get just much earlier this year.

I did finish November with my second highest monthly total for comics read and am on pace to top 2k for the year.

It also seems as though I can finish up a couple novels that will go towards my goal of 12 for the year, which I am woefully short on.

Damn Body Combat kicks my ass. I think the kicks work the shit out of my back muscles and they tell me every time they are unappreciative.

To bed before the Pens game.

Tuesday, December 1, 2015

2015 321

Monday at work sux.

Working out after 5 days off sux slightly less.

We made our rounds of our favorite small businesses on this Small Business Saturday.

Had a traditional Thanksgiving meal at Freda's today.


2015 318

Visited both mom and dad n Anstead for the first time.

Lavash is my new favorite local resturant.


Thursday, November 26, 2015

2015 317

We just jumped through the hoops of activating a Tracphone for my parents. What a fucking morass of foreign ineptitude. I could go on but I'm sure it would be considered some kind of 'hate' shit so I'm out for the time being.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.


2015 316

Last day of the holiday week for me.

Comic book day, previews in particular.

Multiple shout outs over the past few days just in podcasts I have listened to. I wonder about those I haven't found yet.

Nicely experienced visit to the ER because yet something else my father no longer does that he is supposed to has caused him yet more physical issues. What the fuck man it's not rocket science do what you are fucking told to do to improve your fucking quality of life.


Tuesday, November 24, 2015

2015 315

Just found out TEAL Productions was shouted out on a brand new podcast about Mike Grell because of the Emerald Archer. The show was by Darin and Ruth Sutherland. Excellent!!!!!

Maybe starting to feel my podcasting groove come back. For a couple three weeks I really didn't care to do any. No I want to again. Podcasting and reading comics...that's how I want to spend my retirement.

More of that killer chili while finishing the fall DwtS season.

Monday, November 23, 2015

2015 314

It's funny how my brain, at least I think it's mine tries to use Chef Teri and my involvement in an online game as an analogy for our relationship. Kinda messin with me right now.

Monday, yeah ok 'nuff said.

Big salad while watching the latest Strictly Come Dancing.

Dancing with the Stars while reading 90's Ghost Rider from Marvel.

Listening to youtube video's of the late 80's through the 2000's Big Band Revival. Big Bad Voodo Daddy, Royal Crown Revue, Brian Setzer Orchestra, Cherry Poppin Daddies.


2015 313

NFL Gameday morning. Dang Kurt is done for the season with a broken jaw.

Yummy chili for dinner.

Thorcast recorded and posted.

Marvel Bronze Age recorded.


Saturday, November 21, 2015

2015 312

College football.

Yummy home dinner of steak quesadillas.

Emerald Archer recording.


2015 311

This drama with my mom and dad is about to make move move to California so that I am too far away to be actively involved. Except for meeting Chef Teri and having a couple kids with a local chick I'm constantly regretful I didn't move further away back when it was easier.

Killer dinner out at PJ's.

Lotsa fun watching grown men and women attempt to beat the shit out of each other.


Friday, November 20, 2015

2015 310

Dude Keith royally kicked my ass at PHFC this evening.

Nice big salad for dinner. Haven't had a salad in a week or so and it was nice to get back to.

Pens won!!!!!

Star Wars: The New Era episode 5 in the can.


2015 309

Wednesday, November 18, 2015

2015 308

Back to the grind.

Boring day.

Body Combat is hard but so far I don't mind it so much.

Quesadilla burgers for dinner.

Dance Fevre knocked out.

Pens win!

Tuesday, November 17, 2015

2015 307

Trying to wrap my mind around having to go back to work tomorrow.

Looking up ideas so I can dress the part next year for our ren faire tour.

Working out actually felt almost kinda ok.

Sunday, November 15, 2015

2015 306

Sunday.Gonna work hard, yet again to do nothing.

Steelers are winning. Finishing up Black Panther's Jungle Action run from the early 70's.

The best no frills anthems I have heard have been performed by members of the military during the NFL games televised today.


2015 305

Much soreness this monring but we soldier on.

Breakfast in the hotel was decent. Buffet so you get what you get.

Wow the Carolina Renaissance Festival was so much more then I expected. Quite overwhelming actually. We wanted to take our time and see as much as we could which quickly went out the door. Ultimately we ate some stuff, caught many show including the first round of jousting and missed seing as many shops as we did manage to catch. The entire thing left we with the feeling that I am not a part of geekdom which we be pretty cool to be involved in.

Thai Thai for dinner and it was superb.


2015 304

Up early some travel to our first stop this weekend. The Southern Christmas Show.

Lotsa walkin around and just chillin in the hotel room for dinner. We walked a little more this year then the past two because of the handful of things that grabbed out interest that we really wanted to look into.

Lunch was better then I would have hoped and we found some cupcakes that were absolutely to die for.

Bed timeto rest upfor more walking tomorrow.

2015 303

Pen won 4-3 in OT!!!

My Friday this week.

I have four packages in transit and one or maybe two now are extremely late.


Thursday, November 12, 2015

2015 302

Took the holiday today.

Working on filling the cracks behind the stove and fridge where we think the roaches are coming through from our wonderful neighbors. Time will tell if it worked.

Now what to do?

Comic book day!

Read some comics, finally while watching the Pens take it to overtime.

Wednesday, November 11, 2015

2015 301

Went to a workout thing and the Health Center last night instead of our usual. Not bad I think I could do that, wind is weak but I didn't hate it.

No Chris again tonite. Gonna drop BOOM! Addiction I don't have time for that bullshit anymore. Where the fuck are my books?


Monday, November 9, 2015

2015 300

Another week start, tryin to bring that number below 1000.

Chicken Quesadillas, my favorite of our dietstyle change dinners.

Strictly and Dancing with the Stars for the evening.


2015 299

Lazy morning so far and the funny thing is I'm willing to work really hard to keep it that way.

Yeah nuthin much.

Saturday, November 7, 2015

2015 298

Starting off the day with College Gameday is always a plus.

Chef Teri and I are looking this morning at things to try and combat my current exercise malaise, see it can be used with other words than just general.

Deep cleaning the kitchen was fun, not.

College football, comics and now Pens.

Friday, November 6, 2015

2015 297

Friday, another one down and 1007 to go.

We tried Yummi tonite and I was unmoved.

Pens looking good tonite but still not much offense considering the names on the roster and the reverence paid to said names by the hockey media.



2015 296

After the past several years of sharing my life with Chef Teri I can't imagine how empty I would have been nor how crushed I would be without her. Thank you baby for enriching my life beyond my ability to fairly put it into words.

Spent the evening playing taxi for dad and finished with one of the most unsatisfying meals I believe I have ever eaten.


Thursday, November 5, 2015

2015 295

Not enough storage space, no dryer hook-up, very small shower, no off street parking and a landlord that claims 'poor' when things need fixed.. That's our apartment. Now the new neighbors have at least two inside dogs that bark and howl, they allow them to shit all over the yard where we have to drag our trash can to on trash day and they brought roaches from where ever they are from. At 47 I believe it's that time again. The search begins.

Work, yay.

The search has begun with a handfull of possible candidates on the first day.

Yucky early evening bur finished nicely with an excellent breakfast for dinner.


Wednesday, November 4, 2015

2015 294

Starting to feel some of the 'not happy' emotion creeping into my head. Man I have got to figure out how to stop it and not get that way.

Workout.

Dinner.

Strictly Come Dancing.

No BOOM! Addiction but he did record another podcast, not sure if I should be hurt or not. Gotta start letting some stuff go.


Tuesday, November 3, 2015

2015 293

Monday, nuff said.

It's always cool to see someone really enjoy something you recommended.

Workout.

Dinner, yummo by the way.

Dancing with the Stars.

Bed.

Sunday, November 1, 2015

2015 292

I miss Alps from the Air.I think it's been taken off the air.

Mayhap recording two shows today, time will tell.

Read up and ready to go.

'Being in love with your best friend is everything', I'd have to completely agree with that.

The Steelers are not looking very good at this point. Not very confident about this game, Ben is not looking right.

Steelers lost. Booo.




2015 291

Hope to get some podcasts recorded today.

It's been a simple fun day today, Thank you Chef Teri. I dug it.

Watched a college football game with over 110 points. Youch.

Pens handling the Maple Leafs easily, finally a fun game to watch as a Pens fan.


Saturday, October 31, 2015

2015 290

Lotsa 'family' time but now back home with my baby able to relax.

Dinner with Mike was ok. Seemed shallow and very surface but I suppose it's a place to start.

2015 289

A full evening of emotion last night. The Pens won and then Ron and I hashed out what has been going on between us.

Got my check, today extra money in it too. Awww Yeahhhh!!!!!!


Thursday, October 29, 2015

2015 288

i have a friend who rants about a variety of things and often spins the rants in a way that implies that the people he is ranting against are not as intelligent as he is. but at least 30% of the time he uses then when he wants a than. the irony is delicious, but it's also frustrating that he rails on about these things and is oblivious to the fact that he is often the embodiment of what he is hacked off about. sigh. 


I woke up this morning to the above post by the 'friend' I referenced in my thoughts this past Monday. Ouch.


I think the thing that  bugs my most...well two things. One is the gravity of the passive/aggressiveness inherent in the words but also the possibility that I could be as big an ass as I feel he implies. Time for some self inspection.


Something else came to mind this morning. Last fall in conversation with another 'liberal' friend when I commented that I did not feel that marriage had anything to do with love or romance anymore he informed me he was insulted by my condescending tone. This makes me wonder if a liberal tact that I am not personally familiar with is to accuse those more conservative with said condescension when offer an opposing viewpoint.


ok, so i succumbed to the temptation to say a snarky thing about someone who means a great deal to me and it backfired. in an effort to smooth this over, i want to publicly apologize to Ed Moore. Ed is the first real friend i made when i started college and he looked after me during my formative undergraduate years, when i didn't know anything about anything. he did nothing to deserve being treated so shabbily and i want him to know that i am sorry. also, since i clearly have no idea about how to comport myself on the internet, i'm banishing myself from FB for the next few days until i can learn how to behave like a respectful human being.

Ron you and I are fortunate enough to have grown a friendship that can withstand most anything. I also should apologize for having posted things that lead you to feel towards me any way that made you feel uncomfortable towards me. In light of the past several days Teri Moore has brought some things to my attention that force me to evaluate how and it seems most importantly when I choose social media as a sounding board. You have brought more than a tear to my eye my friend and I want to cherish your friendship and not see it fall away as so many others have. We are still good and want to work to keep things that way.

if anyone is an ass it's me. i wrote what i wrote as a caricature of a variety of people, including you. it was snarky and stupid and unfair. the snarky and stupid part is clear, but let me explain what i mean by unfair. as you no doubt have noticed, millions of people post things on the internet every day. you are among those people, as am i. but unlike every one of those millions of other people, you are the only one that is a person that i spent a big chunk of my college years looking up to. and so without consciously trying, i guess i have held you to a different standard from everyone else. i know this is wrong. but it hurts my head when i see you writing stuff with bad grammar because i know that you're smarter than that and i want better for you than that. and it hurts my heart when i see you ranting about things in a way that makes it seem like you're really angry at the world, because i want better for you than that. it's a stupid way to look at the world, but i guess that when someone means as much to a person as you do to me, then our hearts get bigger than our brains and we do stupid things. and i really want you to know that you do mean a great deal to me Ed. you were my first real friend in college and the vast majority of the good memories i have from my first four years at Concord feature your own good self. and i know that this will probably mean very little, but i have spent the past 15 hours kicking myself for how shabbily i treated you. and, for what it's worth, i deleted the post. i can only apologize and hope that you'll forgive me, but i completely understand if you choose to defriend me and never want to talk to me again. i'm going to banish myself from FB for a week and if you're still on my list when i get back, then i guess i'll know that i haven't done something irreparable. in the meantime, i hope all is well with you in WV. i really mean that.

Thank you for your words Ron. All is well between us as far as I feel. In talking to my wife and through experience I seem to be succumbing to some blacker periods psychologically and emotionally and perhaps those times I should censure my thoughts that much more lest I say things I truly do not mean. I truly am sorry that I have made you feel these things and had no idea. Just for the record I may be frustrated quite often but I don't harbor I'll will towards the entire world just some aspects of it that perhaps I don't explain as well as I could or should. Be assured during you 'time off ' I will be wondering what my black belted, mathematically inclined follow frater has been up to.

Wednesday, October 28, 2015

2015 287

Still got a damn conversation on FB running through my head again this morning. Tough to let go when I feel someone treated me rather dickish out of the blue. I can't help but wonder where it came from as my inkling if that it's based on more than that single conversation.

Damn work numbs my brain due to its uninterestingness.

Wow absolutely no contact about BOOM! Addiction tonite from Chris, sigh.

Tuesday, October 27, 2015

2015 286

I am in mourning this morning. A long time friend has been shown to have walked a path that leaves him too far left of my path for me to desire any truly meaningful relationship. He has gone from one of us to one of them and so that bridge has been abandoned, not burned just left unused.

Monday, start of the week.

Watched two hours of Strictly Come Dancing and two hours of Dancing with the Stars, full slate of dance watching.


Monday, October 26, 2015

2015 285

Cool visit with oldest son for his birthday.

Cool dinner with youngest son and his girlfriend.

In general the kind of day I'd like to have more of.

Saturday, October 24, 2015

2015 284

Took a trip to a local ski resort to ride their ski lift for a fall foliage look see. It was cool because it was new but kinda lame otherwise.

Grabbed dinner at a new place which was pretty cool. Met a cousin I haven't seen in 30+ years so that was a highlight.

Chillin on the couch.

2015 283

Still continueing with the mental suckage.

Ruckus in the Cage Bluefield edition tickets are supposed to go on sale today, that's groovy.

Got tickets cageside. Off side from main door to the cage.


Friday, October 23, 2015

2015 282

My state of mind has not gotten any better. It's hard to explain other than it is anything but positive.

Recorded Dance Fevre and Star Wars: The New Era both tonite.


2015 281

Nick stopped by last night for a while. We made plans for he and Des to come over for dinner Sunday.

2015 280

Comic book day.

Back to the Future Day, once in forever. Enjoy it while it's here.

Not in a good frame of mind today. Not sure why. It seems that way more often then not and I wish I knew why and could change it.

Chef Teri working hard to give us something different for dinner. Chicken catchatory(sp) and Parmesan polenta. Excellent dinner.

2015 278

Start of the work week after a more enjoyable weekend then we have over over the past two months or so.

Now to figure out how to tell my dad the every Saturday thing to take him to visit mom and hour and a half away needs to come to an end.

Deer meat pasta for dinner and Dancing with the Stars finish up this rather drab day.

2015 277

NFL Gameday, three NFL games, boneless wings, two podcasts recorded and lots of downtime. Yes.

Only bad part was our hour spent at the gym today because our trainer needed us to come in. That blows on a Sunday at 10a.


Saturday, October 17, 2015

2015 276

Went and supported my younger brother in something that was important to him. Regardless of what exactly it was glad I had the opportunity and took the time.

Took receipt of some deer meat, three different cuts.

Reading comics and watching the Pens. All is as it should be.

Marvel comics are just not like they used to be and are just not worth the effort.


2015 275

Friday, end of the work week.

Workout went well.


2015 274

Got my check today interesting to note I am now up to about 39k a year. I didn't realize that. I feel accomplished.

My baby left me a care package and I love her for it.

Oh and the Pens are 0-3 and suck it right now. Haven't lost 3 to open the season since 2005, Sid's first year.

Listening to a bunch of new podcasts I have found over the past couple months.


Thursday, October 15, 2015

2015 273

Finally recorded a Boom! Addiction last night, a fun time was had by all.

Quesadilla burgers for dinner I think my current favorite Moore Standard from the kitchen of Chef Teri.


2015 272

First day at work this week feels like a Monday, oh well.


Tuesday, October 13, 2015

2015 271

Decided to take the holiday today and mess with the myriad of things I always seem to want to do between time when I'm doing all the things I normally do.

Editing and posting of Thorcast was first and accomplished.

Caught up on DC's Green Lantern Corp from the New 52.

Trying to get back into the habit of watching NHL shows now that the season has begun.


2015 270

Alps, Rudy Maxa and Gameday Morning all while taking notes for two podcasts hopefully being recorded today.

Mighty Thorcast recorded and Star Wars: The New Era postponed.


Sunday, October 11, 2015

2015 269

Another Saturday I voluntarily took away from Chef Teri and I gave to another for 6-8 hours a pop.

Home to wings...shit no no one wants to sell any to us that are reasonable and any good so a backup restaurant that is not the best but always as good as we can get in the cultural/food desert we live in.

Time for bed and hopes of a better Saturday next time.

2015 268

Pens lost. Suck it!

Friday, not payday but end of a miserable work week none the less.

It seems so much easier for me to get into and stay in a negative frame of mind. I so don't want either to occur. Not sure what to do to get there.

There are flashes of happy but they are few and far between as most is just bullshit I would rather not deal with.


Friday, October 9, 2015

2015 267

I thinking I'm seeing a new job dawning here at work. The things I have been doing for the last fourteen years have pretty much been accomplished and that type of work will shift more into a 'maintenance mode' then anything else. Now I will be using the knowledge of the past to make the job and my products better. Not sure how I feel about it...it's happening none the less.

No work out today instead we went and ate pizza out. Probably not the best idea but fuck it.

Pens on gotta go.

Thursday, October 8, 2015

2015 266

Comic book day...and maybe a couple presents for Chef Teri if my LCS got the stuff in.

Workout was a lot harder today because I think we haven't been doing this particular one correctly.

Soup for dinner that is outstanding. Not sure if it has a name but damn!


Wednesday, October 7, 2015

2015 265

Computer program updates all proceeding smoothly.

I have searched for a way to accomplish a certain thing with the 911 maps for years. I found it today. I prefer to think it's because the data recently became available however if in reality it's because I had not found it that means my Google Fu is sub standard. I prefer to think the former rather then the later.

I'm excited about work today for a little while anyway and that hasn't happened for a very long time.

BOOM! Addiction was a big fat bust tonite. Dude wants to do podcasts but just doesn't seem to have the time.UGH!

Tuesday, October 6, 2015

2015 264

Work.

Work out.

Dancing with the Stars, working for Dance Fevre.

Sleep, getting ready for work.

Sunday, October 4, 2015

2015 263

While football is on catching up on all the misc things I try to keep up with each week. Mainly making a list and checking it twice.

DC catchup is the next reading assignment.

Strictly Come Dancing on tap for tonite.


2015 262

Blah blah blah.

We started our evening off with a stop at Lavash. Probably the best place Chef Teri and I have been too in longer then I can remember, maybe since Montgomery.

Then our first live MMA event, which left some to be desired as an experience but was cool enough that we want to do it again.

Friday, October 2, 2015

2015 261

Payday

Jack Reacher on the tube.

UFC 191 to finish the evening.

Thursday, October 1, 2015

2015 260

Blah work.

Workout blah.

Steelers on tonite.

Comic reading time.

New neighbors, decision pending.


2015 259

Comic book day but I have nothing at the shop this week.

Tuesday, September 29, 2015

2015 258

Siq day so that I could get my eyes examined and pupils dilated.

No significant changes in eyesight

Watched the first episode of the new Danger Mouse cartoon. Just didn't feel the same butI hope it's successful non the less.

Now catching up on Ancient Alien, season 7 episode 3. Five episodes later taking a break.

Chicken quesadillas for dinner with Ancient Aliens on the tube.

Some Marvel silver age to finish up.



2015 257

Monday

Workout

Chilli that kicked ass

Dancing with the Stars

Monday, September 28, 2015

2015 256

NFL Gameday Morning is cool. The Steelers on CBS is cooler.

Working on getting the Star Wars showup and going but not getting much input. Been working since 10 and just got an IM at 1. hmmmmm.

Finally finish taking notes for the Star Wars podcast and it was more then multiple episodes of the other shows combined.

Wow it's been tough to figure out how much to cover for our first show but I think we have it figured out.

Steelers won, Ben is out for 4-6 weeks.

Chef Teri and I watched the first 2 episodes of Strictly Come Dancing season 13, good stuff.

Recorded the first episode of Star Wars: The New Era tonite, also good stuff.

Saturday, September 26, 2015

2015 255

Another long day full of things I don't want nor enjoy doing.

Pizza and football FTW!

2015 254

Friday. End of the work week.

Nice to see the weather will really be in favor of the Autumnfest, not. Fine weather during week until the weekend really is fucking suck worthy.

Workout. Salad and some college football to finish up the day.

Friday, September 25, 2015

2015 253

Work.

Work out.

Excellent dinner of...well Chef Teri describes it on her Facebook post, look there if you really care.

NFL, albeit two ho hum teams but it's football.


2015 252

Yep the fixed worked that is exciting.

Met with a town official I have never met before. Nice enough definitely old guard probably an example of the reason our small town is in the shape it's in politically.

Comic book day.


Wednesday, September 23, 2015

2015 251

Got new aerial photos at work and a new internet GUI on our Pictometry site.

Fixed a months old problem at work but I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see if the fixed worked.

Workout then Dancing with the Stars and bed.

Tuesday, September 22, 2015

2015 250

Monday.

GIS Layer bullshit between two companies with me in the middle and town boundary bullshit wherein I need to know where it is and no one is willing to take ownership of where the correct information is housed.

Meeting tomorrow to try and find outside information on town boundary and awaiting a phone call to help correct GIS layer problems. Fairly productive morning.


Monday, September 21, 2015

2015 249

Wow. Sucky morning of not feeling well enough to sleep and hurting too much to get up.

Football all day. Fall at its best.

Sunday, September 20, 2015

2015 248

Long painful day because of my poor memory.

More football and a root beer float.

Saturday, September 19, 2015

2015 247

Pay day!

Got me some new shoes.

Positive news with our nutritionist and trainer at the gym today.

It's a pizza and college football kinda night. CIAO!!!

Thursday, September 17, 2015

2015 246

Ugh baby! Motivation out the whazoo.

Show notes for four episodes, recorded two episodes, posted seven episodes and released three. Yeah all caught up. Hopefully recording one tonite and recorded an additional last night.

NFL to finish up.

2015 245

Shit lost my first Fantasy Football game by less than a point and a half. Fucking Payton Manning. I feel a wholesale roster move coming on this week.

Two College Pick'em's, an NFL pick'em, a Fantasy Football and I will have a Fantasy Hockey and maybe an NHL pick'em if I can find one.

Wow major head space hurdle experienced by the More family tonite. We gotta just work through and keep movin on Chef Teri. Let's just hold hands and keep walkin the walk. We'll get to that place eventually baby.

Finally recorded the new episode of BOOM! Addiction last night.


Tuesday, September 15, 2015

2015 244

Monday.

Chef Teri and I are so behind on TV and just now hooked up a new DVD player after having had a Netflix DVD for like three months. Just not the time to do everything we want to consume. Now football season has started and soon hockey season.

Two dance shows on at the same time tonite. We'll probably watch SYTYCD finale live and then catch DwtS opener later maybe tomorrow night.

I desperately need to edit and post my Ronin Rabbit shows I have recorded and now a Marvel Bronze Age episode.

I am excited to get past this Kim Davis bullshit, I'm tired of hearing/seeing it.

Without knowing exactly how to do it myself man the different pics you use to set up FB and G+ pages are a mother fucking pain in the ass to find.

Set up the FB and G+ pages for the new TEAL Productions show Star Wars: The New Era podcast. Advertised it on both places and on twitter. Next Sunday is the first recording.

Damn Keith kicked my ass with our new routines. SO much so that he said he wants us to do it just once a week every other week.

Watched So You Think You Can Dance season finale picking it over Dancing with the Stars season premier and a Monday Night Football double header.

Monday, September 14, 2015

2015 243

Nice breakfast burrito (x2) to start this cool off day with my baby. Well after a morning bootie call that is.

Lotsa feels intellectual speak goin down in the 'partment today, wonder why.

NFL Gameday Morning in the background gettin us ready for all the gamestoday.

Recorded Dance Fevre and the return of Marvel Bronze Age.

Saturday, September 12, 2015

2015 242

Another trip to Anstead.

Another stop at Country Thai.

Another chill night with my honey

2015 241

Friday. Not looking forward to the weekend. Family responsibilities made necessary by other family members are shooting a hole right in the middle of our Saturday.

Comic order came in today lots of goodness.

I actually have to check some things and make sure folks haven't given me too much money over the past couple days.

Finally got a full tank and pizza coupon from where we bought the Honda. Way more trouble then it should have been.


Friday, September 11, 2015

2015 240

Back at it trying to figure out how to take others information and format it so it is useful to use. Fairly straightforward when the new info has been tagged and the metadata is correct, when not it's a big mess. Like now.

We did eat at Country Thai again yesterday. Glad it's an hour and a half away otherwise I could easily motivate to eat there more often.

It's pretty bad when you order something from a place you have never ordered from before and the order gets messed up. Not a real confidence builder.

Work out sucked.

Steelers on. Not looking good.

Thursday, September 10, 2015

2015 239

Had to run up to the Genesy facility to deal with some paperwork for mom.

Then stopped and saw dad as he was waiting for a heart cath, they went well.

Home for laundry and dinner.

2015 238

Back to work.

2015 237

Just chillin today, slept late and it was cool.

Took the new Honda out for a shakedown. Nice crusin with Chef Teri belting out 80's tunes along the way.

Monday, September 7, 2015

2015 236

Finally got a new car. It's a Honda CRV so hopefully it does better in the snow then the Kia, which is the entire reason we wanted something new.


2015 235

Had dinner with Nick last night. I was cool.

Took my Dad to Anstead to visit my mom who is in a long term care facility.

Ending up finding Country Thai and finding out perhaps I don't mind curry after all. Best meal we've had out in a while and probably one of the best ever.


Friday, September 4, 2015

2015 234

Payday.

Had to move our trainer appointment.

Had to commit to a family related bullshit that will eat up most of the middle of the day tomorrow and it has me thoroughly pissed off.

Recorded Dance Fevre tonite and now to finish with football and Nightwing.


2015 233

Wow major Google related problems this morning. Chrome, email...not good.

College football in spades tonite!

Wednesday, September 2, 2015

2015 232

Comic book day.

I'm always warm and fuzzy when I find podcasts to add to the comic book podcast wiki.

I set up a Pinterest board today of all the BOOM! Studios 10th anniversary covers. Looks really cool.

Pairings were announce for Dancing with the Stars season 21 and all the stars are know for Strictly Come Dancing season 13.


2015 231

Runyon visit today.

Took me off one of the blood sugar medications, Actos. Hopefully I will be able to keep my blood sugar in line and it will help me lose some weight.

Finished the evening up with homemade king pao beef and new Dr Who catchup.

Tuesday, September 1, 2015

2015 230

New week.

Kinda up toady. Our scales tell me I'm down 2-2.5 lbs and maybe am below 280 for the first time being healthy in forever. Lets see what the scales at Runyon's office tells me tomorrow.

Looks like I'm up pace to read just over 2000 comic books for the year and record around 160 podcast episodes for the year. Maybe those two things are the reason I fail to motivate to do much else.

Signed up for Audible today. 14.95 a month for a free ebook download and reduced prices on others. I think one a month will be able to fill my ears during workouts.

Recorded a BOOM! Addiction last night. AN interview with Mairghread Scott.

Monday, August 31, 2015

2015 229

Recorded 5 Ronin Rabbit episodes in half then time it took to record three yesterday. Focus was on point.

Non catch up comic time. Finished up Iron Fist in Marvel Premier, The first five appearances of The Elementals and started my Nightwing DC catchup with 4 issues.

Starting to feel guilty about all the seemingly cool things I want to do and then my motivation that results in doing none of them. Lost opportunities. Will they come back to haunt me? Time will tell.

I feel I'm still pretty lazy in several aspects of my life.

2015 228

Nice lazy day.

Let's record some Ronin Rabbit.

After all was said and done and only canned 3 episodes lack of focus.

2015 227

Friday, yes made it another week. Looks like only another 1048 and I'll be able to retire. Looking forward to it.

I'm her physically but my mind is far far away and not wanting to reunite with the rest of me.

So yesterday saw me start up, in principle three separate podcasts. I need to get my house in order this weekend. First new recording is Monday night.


Friday, August 28, 2015

2015 226

Comixology's guided view is like remedial comic book reading. If you really honestly need help knowing how to read a comic book and after a short period of time still haven't figured it out move to coloring books it'll be simpler for you. This handing people everything is bullshit. If you don't know or understand figure the fucker out on your own and then if you still can't get it ask for help. Handouts makes people dependent and that's about all it truly does.

Today is Nick, my youngest's birthday. he's 18 and a college freshman now. I'm ancient.


Wednesday, August 26, 2015

2015 225

Comic book day.

Wow and weird public killing only a couple hours from here in Roanoke.

'Ain't no bitch in these veins.", overheard at the gym today during an alpha fight in the free weights section.


2015 224

Starting to get pumped for College Football. First game on ESPN is this Saturday. It's a Div II game but I don't mind....just football.


Tuesday, August 25, 2015

2015 223

Today ends and era and begins a new. Nick has his first day of college classes and then on Thursday this week turns 18.

I feel fat, old and very very melancholy today. Kinda tough actually.

Running mock drafts on my Yahoo fantasy hockey account. Useless but it will ultimately get me a medal.

Marvel Premier's Iron Fist origin FTW!

Sunday, August 23, 2015

2015 222

New whey protein shakes for breakfast. Nothing spectacular but not anything gross either. It will be doable.

Recorded Dance Fevre and Mighty Thorcast today and posted both.

Man I went out to grab some dinner tonite. Crusin through town with the windows down and Little Buddy Radio FM 93.1 on the radio. It's been a while since I felt that physically, emotionally, spiritually and psychologically at ease. Usually my list whether self imposed or other is full of 'I have tos'.

Pizza Hut wings for dinner with Salvage Dawgs on the tube.


2015 221

Some adultey fun to start the day is always a good thing.

Working my way through some early JLA before choosing another run to read. Thinking Silver Age Legion or maybe Avengers and there is always the first 20 issues on paper of GI Joe RAH to get through.

Looks like its time to record some more Lords of Order shows this weekend. Seven episodes in the can and man I'm talked out. Now the fun part is to edit and post those so they come out of the next two months.

Watched the latest episode of ABDC and can now record Dance Fevre but it's time for bed.



Saturday, August 22, 2015

2015 220

Payday

Meet with Keith at the gym. It's getting to be a pain because it messes up any flow we get into.

Had a huge blow up this morning about this lifestyle bullshit. I feel bad about it but not about my feelings or what I said. I'm convince yet again I am being fucked with on a more then natural level.

Yet another new routine from out trainer Keith.

Finished up Sense8 and it ended way better then it started. Glad they gave it a second season.


Friday, August 21, 2015

2015 219

Boring day.

Ran for 30 minutes at the gym. The best part of that is my listening to an audiobook but not by much.

Finished my Detective comics catchup now to decide what to read next.


Thursday, August 20, 2015

2015 218

Comic Book day.

Back to work, didn't miss it.

Back to the gym, didn't miss it.

I only have a handful of books on my pull list for my shop and they still messed it up this week. First time and not a big deal but I can't help but wonder how hard is it to do.

Sens8 is one weird show.

Tuesday, August 18, 2015

2015 217

Time for ass cameras.

Not as fuzzy time around.Don't have to do it again for 5 years this time.

I have been reading and gotten interested in the Bat verse. I think I might try to catch up on all the New 52/NewYou titles and see what they are like. Interspersed with some GI Joe an Marvel original Star Wars.

Catching up on season 3 of the Arrow. Finished, man the season finale felt like a series finale.

Now on to season 7 of Ancient Aliens.


Monday, August 17, 2015

2015 216

Well as of this morning we have been going to the gym and working out for 13 weeks. I have gained 25 pounds, so what the fuck is the point. This is bullshit and I'm about to pull the plug.

I really can't remember ever having felt more discouraged than I do now. If I say anything to anyone trying to help all I'm gonna get is the same mealy mouth bullshit. I want to know what to do to loose weight. Anything else is bullshit.

I found a way to lose more than 2 pounds in a day. I might stay on it.

Damn been holding off buying the Oyo's I don't have and now one of them is sold out. Probably not be able to  find one now.

Sunday, August 16, 2015

2015 215

So last night just solidifies in my mind that I have no desire to attend a class reunion. Hours of that with multiple people is not my scene.

More Ancient Aliens and Legenderry.

Very uneven bunch of comics today. High highs and 'why the hell did I read this' lows. Lets hope the New 52/You Detective comics is better and more even.

Working on season 6 of Ancient Aliens.


2015 214

Lazy day watching TV, readin comics and waitin around for a dinner date.

David Owens, Willie B and us are getting together for dinner.

2015 213

Trying to get somewhere with techniques you are proficient at using software you are not is quite the chore.

I get to play taxi for my mom and wait for the hospital to spring her. What could have been an 8-9 hour day turned into 4-5. Very glad about that.

My dad's pride pisses the shit outta me.

Wednesday, August 12, 2015

2015 212

Comic Book day.

I do believe Aron Macom and I have struck up an internet friendship. It's kinda cool that that is due to podcasting.

Quick stop by the comic shop and I'm up to date.

2015 211

Lots of communications to solve various issues today.

Child support.

Comic book orders.

Mom's birthday.

I don't believe I have communicated with the outside world that much during most weeks much less all in one day.

We've been catching upon Arrow in the evenings and are about a third of the way through season 3. We should do that more often.

2015 210

Mondays do indeed suck. I didn't used to be one of those people but I have recently converted.

2015 209

Lots of new stuff today from Ancient Aliens.

Nick and Des stopped by today.

Ok now I'm starting to get tired of seeing the same monolithic sites on the Ancient Aliens show.



Saturday, August 8, 2015

2015 208

Lazy Saturday. Reading and watching Ancient Aliens marathon.

Finally getting to some people and places I've never heard about watch Ancient Aliens.

Catching up on my Marvel Star Wars blog. The Vader and Star Wars books re the best so far and Kanan the most pointless with Lando and Lei come in closely.

I wonder if mathematicians find patterns in numbers because they want to find something.

Pizza and wings for dinner, yummo.


Friday, August 7, 2015

2015 207

Friday,payday yes.

A fellow podcaster messaged me today to let me know he had just found a podcast that I do and was  going to try a comic book I had talked about. That feels cool.


2015 206

Still have that excellent time hangover from last night. Every time I do something I really enjoy it makes it that much harder to drop back into RL.


Thursday, August 6, 2015

2015 205

Comic book day.

Heading to Charleston this evening to take in Dancing with the Stars live.

I want to read the Rothfuss novels, in paperback. I'm tired of everyone saying how good they are. I think I have one maybe both at the apartment I need to look  for them.

I have so many personal interest that sway often moment to moment depending on what I am reading or listening to. Hard to stay focused because as my input changes what I want to do does as well.

Dinner was at a place that made me feel uncomfortable. Bringing back feelings I haven't had at a restaurant since my Fort Worth trip and the hotel that Radio Shack used.

The DwtS Live show was excellent.

The best part was that my date had a good enough time that she mention that a couple times. All is as it should be. Ciao.


Wednesday, August 5, 2015

2015 204

Blah, blah, blah.

Wow the girls on the SYTYCD Afterbuzz are really busting on Asaf. If you feel that strongly about him bitch about why he's on the show or why he made it 3 episodes before being voted off. Nigel and his political bullshit.

No Comic Addiction recording this week. Man that is frustrating but whatever.

Got a visit from Nick and his girlfriend, cool.

Treadmilling sux more then lifting weights. Four days of monthly challenge, crunches in means tomorrow is an off day for that.


Tuesday, August 4, 2015

2015 203

Monday...yeah.

I repeatedly wonder why I continue to listen to Ariel Helwani bait his interviewees. I'm interested in what the fighters have to say but man Helwani gets on my last nerve with his yellow journalism style.


Monday, August 3, 2015

2015 202

Had my first Twitter beef with an elitist MMA douchebag. It was fun.

Watched RJ AMDC RttVMA's so we can record Dance Fevre tonite and talk about it.


UFC 190, Ancient Aliens and Salvage Dogs finished up the day.

Two days into the physical challenge and still at the crunches.

Sunday, August 2, 2015

2015 201

Lazy Saturday of comics and Ancient Aliens.

2015 200

Friday, that's a good thing.

Apparently going through some kinda 'blue' thing. I feel shitty, bored, sad...all kinds of down kinda feelings. I guess it's my time of month.

I think I actually feel better after working out but still don't like working out.

Friday, July 31, 2015

2015 199

Went to the Dr to set up my next butt scope. Yay!

Listening to my favorite College football podcaster interview head coaches means it's getting closer to kickoff.

Two thirds of the faces the Pens put on the ice this season will be different from last. Eighteen games will be carried by NBC 12 of those exclusively. That sux as NBC hockey coverage is the pits.

Recording Comic Addiction tonite, Previews episode. Nope not tonite the fluid scheduling has hit again.


Wednesday, July 29, 2015

2015 198

Excellent 3 days. Lotsa good cool food. Plenty of time with Chef Teri. Good times.


Saturday, July 25, 2015

2015 197

Teri wants to put all the comics I don't want up on Ebay and she said she would take care of it. We put 3 listings up today so lets see how it goes.

Checking my messages haven't personally heard from Mike in over a month.

Recorded a Dance Fevre today 175 to be exact.

Finally getting to catch a UFC card live but still have plenty to catch up on.


2015 196

We apparently have been doing well with our working out as all measures were down for body and up for workout.

New couch is ok so far.

2015 195

Got our new couch today. Gonna take some getting used to but way comfy.

Work out, yuck.

Thursday, July 23, 2015

2015 194

Last work day until 7/30. Which is a good thing.

Comic book day.

New couch should arrive tomorrow, finally.

I miss Huntington. I wonder if it would be cost effective to move there when we retire of if we could even enjoy what they have to offer by then.

The internet everywhere in our area has been FUBAR'd paired with iTunes iPad app not downloading correctly has me bout to pull all my fucking hair our.


Wednesday, July 22, 2015

2015 193

It sure is cool to find out your underage son has tattoos, pierced ears and colored their hair all from social media pics. Rather insulting to know they don't have the respect, courage or what the fuck ever they need to say anything in person. That's ok in about five weeks, I'm fuckin done.

Both of them want to treat me and my feelings like shit they can make their way in the world like the adults they are so fucking bent on being. I now they will be in touch when they need something.

Just more and more being hammered home that a particular phase of my life is coming to an end despite any input from me. Millions before and many more after will journey the same so all I can do is ride the ride.

The logical conclusion of recent concerns of 'marginalized' creators and tapping into their particular sensibilities to create comics as described by the 'vocal minority' aka 'social media warriors' means that only white cishet middle aged males should create Captain America and no one is qualified to create a Vision comic. Does that about sum it up?

2015 192

Dang we missed the Glen Miller Orchestra yesterday afternoon. Chef Teri was majorly disappointed.

New week at work.

New workout routine.

SO You Think You Can Dance and comics for the rest of the day,

Monday, July 20, 2015

2015 191

Ditto

2015 190

Looks like it's a catch up on MMA and comics kinda weekend.

2015 189

Recorded Comic Addiction 126 last night, just Chris and I. Felt cool. Not really familiar with Peter yet so I'm still antsy with him on. I know It'll just take some time.

Workout today last time for the week, curious what Keith will want from us.

Day is majorly dragging by.

Chef Teri wants to eat out tonite...curious where we will end up.


Wednesday, July 15, 2015

2015 187

New comic book day.

It's funny to me with my desire for little to no human contact beyond a select few how much I enjoy getting podcast feedback. I get almost giddy from it.

As a corollary to the above I'm surprised by how unmoved I am by negative feedback.

I've been slacking on my Star Trek fiction sim. That's not cool considering I said I would participate/ It's just hard to motivate when others have as well and you need their input to advance the story.

Very disappointed that I have seen nothing on Social Media about the Top Cow Kickstarter but the Archie one was criticized into being pulled by Archie.

Bat Boy is going to be a youtube series. Filmed in WV like Mountain Monsters only with BAT BOY!!!

Managed to record a LoO about the new Dr Fate issue.

2015 186

Man I am feeling very down this morning and I truly am getting tired of feeling this way at all. Not sure why but I need to change up something.

Watching Twitter this morning I found three new comic book based podcasts. That's cool, one of which I want to listen to.

More family stuff tonite. Ugh. No end in site until next week. July is now officially my least favorite month of the year. Too much having to deal with what other people want.


Tuesday, July 14, 2015

2015 185

It was kinda fun yesterday watching Chef Teri check on something she had boasted about. She had made the comment to an acquaintance that visited us yesterday that she (Chef Teri) had all the Pepe LePew Hallmark Christmas ornaments. After checking she realized there were a couple she did not have and went in search of them. One was acquired and two others are pending. It's always fun using my Google Fu for good.

 Cool up to 79 podcasts recorded this year already. I believe that works out to be about two a week. Not bad for a hobby.

Got all canned shows edited and posted but realized that trying to do that while watching So You Think You Can Dance doesn't work out very well as my ire was well on the way to uncontrollable levels.


Sunday, July 12, 2015

2015 184

Finished up my Lords of Order set. Left room for two episodes for the two new issues that will come out next.

Thorcast in the can as well today.

Tripped to the mall and picked up the requisite Hallmark Christmas ornaments today.

Refreshing when one son detests your presence and the other does things you have expressly asked that they not do. Yeah the joys of being a fucking parent abound.

Visit from Nick and Destiny was cool.

Watched UFC 189 and finished the evening with episode one of Gerry Anderson's UFO.

2015 183

Yucky family thing is over all is as it was.

Got a few Lords of Order in the can, felt good.


2015 182

I think I'm too tired. Having a hard time keeping my mind at bay and am really focusing on some sad shit.

Monday after work had a kinda momentary breakdown and lamented not having the relationship with my oldest son that we used to have.

daddy rice
fish sticks
the dragonflys
capri sun
Ninja Warrior
Nickelodeon cartoons
Little Bear
Mike's bear with the tag
Huntington/Dr Fox/St Mary's Hospital
colic
Little League baseball
rec league basketball
Dudley primary playground
being double promoted at Melrose
Pokemon

Now the things I can't seem to remember are really bugging me. Used to be I could laugh it off but not lately. It's more than just leaving myself notes when I can't remember things about my sons.

I'm thinking about trying, once again, to do comic book reviews. I've tried in the past and I guess it just doesn't interest me enough to keep doing it, with that in mind not sure why I keep wanting to try.


Friday, July 10, 2015

2015 181

Tired, sleepy, sore...I'm glad we're working out 3 times a week. Yeah not.

I listen to many, many podcasts and with almost every episode at some point I wonder what motivated a host to say something they said.

So many young female dancers that are on Afterbuzz have speech patterns that annoy the piss out of me. Drawing out of syllables is the top pissed offer.

I think it's time to do away with the rebel flag. The racists overtones I don't agree with but I do agree that flying the flag of a rebellious defeated subset of the country makes no sense. You lost - deal with it. I live in WV south of the Mason Dixon by the way.

Recorded Comic Addiction tonite and then collapsed.

Wednesday, July 8, 2015

2015 180

Another workout day. Our new workout is between 90 and 105 minutes. Never figured I could stay focused that long but I guess I can for that.

Comic Book Day!!! and Comic Addiction recording tonite.

Dang missed the American Ninja replay last night because we wanted to watch a couple episodes of Castle, which were entertaining.

Curious. NYSE stopped trading and no one on social media said anything other than news outlets. I guess folks don't fully understand the worldwide economic impact of that happening.

Add to that United Airlines and China's market problems...wonder what is going on economically oh and Greece for that matter.

Wow lots of anti-Christian vitriol from a gay man on FB. Being older it bothers me not at all. Younger I would have pushed my point.

Looks like I'm gonna get picked up for the next season of fantasy MMA on Tapology.


2015 179

This week is stretching my good vibes. Chef Teri has some family obligations that are not cool for married people to play with. Nothing major just annoying.

45 seconds with my estranged oldest son. Been quite a while since a situation felt that awkward.

Tuesday, July 7, 2015

2015 178

New work week.

Gym day as well.

So You Think as fuel for Dance Fevre 175 tonite. Looking at stuff we may reach episode 200 by the end of the year.


Monday, July 6, 2015

2015 177

Lazy Sunday.

Ancient Aliens on the tube while reading Chariots of the Gods.

2015 176

Chef Teri's birthday today. Got some stuff but nothing really cool. Hope she digs it.

More BOOM!with Kaiju on the tube.

Excellent day, I hope Chef Teri's was as well.

Saturday, July 4, 2015

2015 175

After 10 years at Radio Shack and being a manager when I have A/V problems I feel like an utter moron.

New work out almost all arms, not sure what Keith is after but...ok.

Kaiju marathon on El Rey for the holiday weekend.


Friday, July 3, 2015

2015 174

The past week or so we have tuned into GI Joe, Transformers and Jem and the Holograms in the mornings. Much 80's nostalgia.

It's fundamentally difficult to not take something personally and wilt slightly when some aspect of your person or persona is made fun of repeatedly in group settings. Being proud of who you are and where you are from sounds good on paper but the execution is far more difficult. I think that ability is very much age related.


Thursday, July 2, 2015

2015 173

Comic book day.

It's pretty sad that Monday (start of work week), Friday (end of work week) and Friday (payday) are the only work references in my lexicon.

Met with Nutritionist and it was pointless for the most part.

Wednesday, July 1, 2015

2015 172

Not sore after the new workout, not sure if that's good or bad.

Recording Comic Addiction tonite gotta get some thoughts together.

American Ninja warrior, Felice Herrig just flat out embarrassed herself on there sad. All she had to do was watch the folks that had gone through before to see how to get past the obstacle.

Bed time ciao.

2015 171

Two days off from work and working out and both are over the same day. I think I now understand why so many people hate Mondays.

Sunday, June 28, 2015

2015 170

Lazy day still suffering from the hammy tweek from Friday. Concerned that it's more then I thought and will get in the way of exercising for a bit. I really don't need that blow to what little motivation I have.

Catching up on the final UFC PPV not viewed yet. That will make all since 2012 so far.

Ok I have to figure something out. The entire recording/upload bullshit for this Thorcast makes me want to quit this shit all together. No fuckin way it is that hard. FUCK!!!!!!

I just took it upon myself to try and arrange a family get together, what the hell am I thinking?


Saturday, June 27, 2015

2015 169

Chillin catchin up on BOOM! with UFC on the tube.

Current books just don't hold my attention like older issues do and I can't figure out why.


2015 168

Catering to the LCD is causing the erosion of any competency in society.

Gay marriage ban ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, I really don't care. I say let folks do what they will as long as it doesn't directly affect me and let God sort it out when they stand judged. End of discussion.

I'm curious to see if they force christian ministers to perform gay marriages. Apparently freedom doesn't mean the same things to liberals as it does to conservatives or even libertarians.

All three matrices used to measure progress for the insurance funded weight loose program all went up, needless to say I'm motivated as fuck...yeah not.

New exercise routine seems like an hour of rest, except I tweeked my hamstring for the first time ever.

Added a bunch of Usagi to the collectin, high point of the day.

Thursday, June 25, 2015

2015 167

Blah day, hopefully tomorrow is better. Oh wait working out nope.

2015 166

Finding new podcasts that interest me is almost as much fun as finding comics. It's cool to be part of a circle of people that allows for that to happen.

Today is rougher then most. My head is really not here today.

Texted with Mike today, that's about the only plus so far. Work sux and then we work out. Hopefully the trip to the comic shop will set good things in motion for the rest of the day.

Did see that an Ebay comic lot was mailed so those should come in within the next week or so.

Worked out which always sux.

New Previews is out lotsa cool stuff coming in September.

Wednesday, June 24, 2015

2015 165

Four days off is just long enough to really not want to go back to work.

Ninja Warrior and Comic Addiction, not a terrible evening.

Monday, June 22, 2015

2015 164

Up early to exercise. Fuckin dumbest thing I've done in a while.

The Flash all day to finish out the first season and then on to season 3 of Arrow.

Finshed the day watching So You Think You Can Dance and catching up on Powers comic.

Sunday, June 21, 2015

Thursday, June 18, 2015

2015 160

I am a Cartographer by training and trade. It am always amused by the assumptions people make when they look at the most basic of maps. I revel in explaining to that what they see and then the rest is in their fucking head and not on my map.

The political bullshit is reaching a new high with the wrecker services bitching about the handling of 911 wrecker call-out for their fucking 70 bucks a call. Dude if that 70 bucks is gonna sink you I think you have bigger worries.

Man stayed up way two late recording two episodes of Comic Addiction last night. Lotsa fun but very tiring.


Wednesday, June 17, 2015

2015 159

Work.

Off workout day.

Mooreican for dinner and USA vs The World American Ninja Warrior.

Monday, June 15, 2015

2015 158

Back to work and maybe a switch up on our workout schedule. Tuesday and Saturday this week are both off the board.

It's interesting to me that folks pay as much or more attention to the physical make up of people in movies then they do to the actual movie itself.

So You Think tonite. 3rd tryout show.


Sunday, June 14, 2015

2015 157

Got up early for some reason but did watch Alps from Above.

Entered some online contests and filed for rebates. Weee.

Saturday, June 13, 2015

2015 156

Worked out first thing this morning.

2015 155

Payday.

Last day of mom's medicine.

Stopped to see dad and gave him a Father's Day card way early cause I was a goober due to lack of sleep. At least I hope that's why.


Thursday, June 11, 2015

2015 154

Day two of 5.30-00.30 day , only two more to go.

Exercise day after work before dinner.

Wow talking with the oldest son for the first time in almost 2 weeks, feel pretty lucky I deserved the audience.

Its rough as a parent when your children ask for help all you can do is offer advice and they have to act on it. There are a lot of times being a parent really sux.

Most time being a responsible adult sux as well.

Dad had one stent and will need another in a couple weeks

2015 153

New comic day.

New furniture day.

Another 'make up for you Dad's fucked up decisions day.

Sleep.

Wednesday, June 10, 2015

New workout routine. Nice to not be as sore this time as last.

Big salad and visit from the youngest. Nick brought his new pet, a sugar glider named Buddy.

Friday, June 5, 2015

2015 148

Graduation dinner with Nick at Kimono.

Graduation. Lots of feels.Gonna be a couple day to get it all sorted out. The cool thing is the rest of life just matches the fuck on while I figure out what to feel. Being an adult can sure suck at tmes.


2015 147

Recording Comic Addiction was far and away the high point of the day.

Wednesday, June 3, 2015

2015 146

Comic book day.

Steak, green beans and potato medallions for dinner.Always a great pairing made superb with the addition of love Chef Teri adds to all her meals.

No Comic Addiction tonite so I started reading Flashpoint.

2015 145

Work...sucked.

Working out ...sucked.

Big salad for dinner...yum.

Finished Convergence over American Ninja Warrior rerun from last night...yay.

Night.

Monday, June 1, 2015

2015 144

Dr today everything went well...until I got a testosterone shot. It hurt like shit.

Mexican for dinner. Not mexicant.

Watching the new season of So You Think You Can Dance and trying to read some Convergence, not working out too well.


Sunday, May 31, 2015

2015 143

Stayed up till past 1 am watching the UFC fights and rolled out of bed this morning around 9.30. Now that smacks of being a bum but it felt good so who cares.

Trying to catch up on Convergence with Orphan Black and Outlander in the background.

Returned and Powers.

Saturday, May 30, 2015

2015 142

Working out at 7.00 WTF??!!

Yummy lunch.

Adult time is way groovy.

Yummy tapas dinner.

UFC on Fox in the background while burning up the internet. Got 6 podcasts edited and uploaded.

I think I've pretty much got the new laptop where I want it.


Friday, May 29, 2015

2015 141

Payday.

More tech frustration.

The Returned.

2015 140

Recorded Comic Addiction on my phone last night. Curious to see how it sounds.

Work.

Big salad for dinner, internet and got the computer to TV hdmi hookup working. Very productive night.


Thursday, May 28, 2015

2015 139

133 Windows updates to download on the new laptop.

I think I got the HDMI port set up correctly on the old laptop now we can use it as a dedicated media player for our TV.

Trying to install some programs while the windows update is running is not really working out well. So I stopped.

Still no internet at home.


Wednesday, May 27, 2015

2015 138

Back to work after the holiday weekend. It sux.

Time this evening to work out after two days off. I think I'm going to nee to up the resistance and weight on everything I'm doing this week.

I want to try to setup my new laptop tonite but i may actually have to wait until tomorrow night. I'm not good at waiting.

No recording tonite but we did get to watch the first episode of the new season of American Ninja Warrior.

Technology frustrates the fuck out of me especially the penchant for the makers to take so much out of the hands of users because they are retarded useless fucks.


Monday, May 25, 2015

2015 137

Ninja Warrior marathon last night and this morning.

iZombie, CSI Cyber, Orphan Black, Elementary and Poldark.

Catchin up on some MMA now.

Ninja Warrior FTW.


Saturday, May 23, 2015

2015 135

Worked out first thing this morning.

Watching Decked Out. I really dig the host dude. He's like a rock and roll contractor. Reminds me of a young Jon Bon Jovi.

Clash of the Titans on now, the newer one.

Sorcerer's Apprentice on now.

UFC 187 Prelims to finish a quiet day.

Excellent food day today, glad I can eat again.

Work

Planned for second workout day.

Trying to get the offspring back into the mood to record Emerald Archer.

Birfday presents for Chef Teri arrived and half have to go back, can't be used. It's my first ever Amazon return.


Wednesday, May 20, 2015

2015 132

Comic book day

Wow one podcast I listen I really enjoy the info but the constant begging and bitching for money is annoying. She wants desperately to monetize the show when in all reality it's not really going to happen. So she keeps smashing her head against the 'not gonna happen' wall and then bitches because it's not going to happen. 

Next is the Riverdale podcast. Honestly I have no interest in most of the Archie books but dude's enthusiasm is very cool. I want to feel that way about comics and miss not.

Hope to record Dance Fevre tonite and then some more Lords of Order this weekend.

Battle Creek.

2015 131

Work

I updated both of the Star Trek sims I'm in. One of which is in the midst of a format change and so I probably didn't need to post as all is probably on hold and the other has had major work changes befall the commander and he himself has not been on in a while so how can we be held to a posting standard he is not keeping up with. Funny how both seemed to slow down at the same time I did.

First actual workout today wasn't too bad

Comic Addiction tonite.

Monday, May 18, 2015

2015 130

Work...yeah.

Watched a DwtS special while scarfing down some quesadilla burgers that were delish.

Now trying to post produce two Dance Fevres and a Mighty Thorcast while figuring how much I want to do a new podcast I came up with.

Plus I need to read something as ammo for tomorrow night's Comic Addiction recording.


Sunday, May 17, 2015

2015 129

Nick had a Sons of Italy scholarship dinner.

Buffalo Wild Wings for the second time ever. Mild and Spicy Garlic both too vinegarey.

Man my brother and his family are really struggling but Chef Teri and I have done what we can.

My mom and Dad are struggling but Chef Teri and I have done what we can.

Tough positions to be in.


Tuesday, May 12, 2015

2015 124

Supposed to do our official sign up for a year's (me) and two years (Chef Teri) cut rate gym membership as part of my insurance weight lose program.

Saturday, May 9, 2015

2015 121

Chef Teri knocked it out of the fuckin park with breakfast this morning, plus I was particularly receptive. Bacon, home fries and a mushroom omelette, FTW!

Now lest see if I can get some comics read. Maybe work in a podcast or two.

Lunch was almost as good as breakfast but far better then anything the past two weeks.

First meet up to set up the PAHC membership.

Dinner...man I'm glad I can eat Chef Teri's cooking again.


Friday, May 8, 2015
