Final post of the year, I was 12 posts short of my goal for the year. I guess that's not too bad considering the total.

Early morning as the better half, Chef Teri is working today.

Discovered the UK has a Ninja Warrior show as well. It's produced more like a game show or America's Funniest Videos. Not treated as the athletic competition as it is here or in later season of the Japanese original.

Tryin to get into the podcasting frame of mind...and it's an uphill battle today.

Got two recorded and a third planned.

College football, Pens hockey and Taco Bell. New Year's Eve Extreme!!!!!!!!!!

2016 352

Friday.

Now the fun starts to try and get our commode fixed. Fortunately we have a solid christian landlord (Tongue in cheek).

Lining up another 3 day weekend.

Racquetball at the gym and then Omlette Spot for dinner.

A couple bowl games finish up the evening.

2016 352

Training day as I need to renew both my CPR and WEAPONS. Fun fun.

Done, now moving on.

Fisrt winter storm of the season on track for this evening and tomorrow. Consider breath held.

Body Combat was rough on the legs tonite.

Bowl games.

2016 351

Back to work.

Body Combat kicked my ass tonite. Plus I found out that most of my upper body strength has gone since I haven't worked out upper body in around 7 months.

Half way through my 2016 bowl viewing challenge I have now watched a quarter or more of 22 bowl games.

Comic book day.

Knowing next week will be shite I can feel one of my 'dark' head things coming on.

Got in some weights.

College bowl games, Pens and Lucha Underground all consumed this evening with varied positivity.

2016 350

Up way too early.

Watched lotsa college football.

Helped clean up the house some and fix dinner.

Not looking forward to tomorrow

2016 349

Christmas day.

Much presentage for/from both in the household.

Went to Chef Teri's mom's for dinner.

Back in time to watch Steelers and Bowl game.

2016 348

Walked a mile in the rain fist thing today.

Z Nation marathon.

Christmas treat cooking from Chef Teri.

2016 347

Took in a showing of Rogue One yesterday.It was very good. Worth the money and I didn't realize until it was over what the running time had been. Not sure I really want more from a movie than those.

Off to the laundromat early to get clothes washed.

Ran a couple errands while we were out including the tracking and capturing of breakfast.

Walked a mile and almost a quarter for good measure.

Opened some craftsy gifts from my mom and dad.

Now sequestered on the couch for probably the rest of the day watching college bowl games with some comics thrown into the mix.

Nick and Des stopped by.

2016 346

Last day of work until 12/27 and only half a day at that.

Rogue One is way cool.

Now time for a Netflix movie and some Papa Johns pizza.

Now Pens and bowl game. And comics.

Pens lost. Bowl game number 10 in my quest to catch at least a quarter of every bowl game this season. Strange Attractors from BOOM! Studios scratched off the list.

Bed.

2016 345

Comic book day.

Do nothing day at work.

Still got to stop at the shop and probably work out before going home.

Racketball.

Still on track with my bowl games project.

Lotsa sports tonite. Team College Ninja Warrior finals, Lucha Underground and college football.

2016 344

Really struggling this morning to be here. Not sure where but here is not the correct answer.

Finished work.

No workout.

Bowl game.

Pens won.

2016 343

Monday.

We have out work holiday dinner today. everybody brought something.

We finally got one of our vendors to send a live body to fix a problem we have been having for almost a year. Maybe.

Work internet is very slow today. Great!!

Interestingly difficult to find a public copy of VDOT roads in shapefile.

Bowl #7 of the season on while I work. Thanks to the ESPN Go app on the iPad.

Leftovers from holiday work dinners for home dinner.

Strictly Come Dancing finals. Now able to record the penultimate episode before our winter hiatus of Dance Fevre.

2016 342

NFL playoff push outside and Christmas goodie cooking inside.

2016 341

Lazy Saturday morning.

Chef Teri is cooking and I am organizing comics while working on my College Bowl project.

2016 340

Friday, finally. This week has drug on horribly.

Work out tonite, yuck.

Dr visit yesterday was uneventful.

Much money news from work today, all positive. Kinda balances out the negative money news coming every year from our health insurance provider.

No workout.

Chili's take out for dinner,was not too bad.

2016 339

Dr appt this morning. He's moved to a new place so that is throwing everybody.

Cold as three fucks out there today. High teens and then lower with wind chill. Temperate my fat ass.

Got in a body combat finally. Yay.

Pizza for dinner with Strictly semis on the tube.

2016 338

Comic book day.

It's kinda sad when you feel conflicted over whether or not to be honest with your physician.

Motivation waning.....

I'm not sure I have encountered a more bullshit, liberal fucking do nothing answer to a question than, 'why does it have to be one or the other can it not be both' we asking why one should be concerned with a problem when (a list of problems) already exists. Fuck I hate that answer because it adds nothing to the discussion and accomplishes nothing in application. Fucking liberal fucking bullshit.

Oh and once again I only hear from my brother when he wants to take issue rather than trying to answer the question. Probably because his mantra zen Buddha bullshit has no answers.

Just read an article by a trans female about why the comic book Alters from Aftershock Comics is not a good representation. Interesting. Completely out of my wheelhouse but interesting.

Late work, no workout.

Work dinner leftovers for dinner.

Pens won! 7 in a row.

2016 337

Yeah this new work, home, position paradigm reared is head again this morning. I just need to learn to chill and just be content with what is. My attitude bullshit is starting to affect my health and I can't allow that so I suppose it's wall time. Because I'm the only one that sees a problem means I'm the one with the problem which in tern means it's my problem to fix.

Today I co-hosted the first TEAL Production recording with my brother seven years ago. Kinda cool to think.

Work out didn't go like planned but we did get in 30 minutes so it's better than couching.

Yummy dinner from Chef Teri.

College Team Ninja Warrior and Fixer upper for the evening's entertainment.

2016 336

Monday.

Nothing new at work.

Working out didn't seem so bad today. It's all in the attitude I suppose and I spent a large portion of my life being told mine sux.

Pens win, 6 in a row now.

2016 335

Up early.

Stomach not right and I'm afraid it's because of some new medicine.

Still reading BOOM! To catch up before the start of the new show.

Steelers win.

2016 334

Up and out way duck in early to do chore put off because of recent assanine work schedules.

PO stop and some Christmas shopping have me in the holiday mood today, I'm sure all too soon RL will disabuse me of that emotional notion.

BOOM! collection coming along swimmingly.

Pens won while comic book catchup.

2016 333

Friday payday.

Hmm thinking about it now we didn't get our checks yesterday like usual.

Boring day at work.

The Railard for dinner with probably the best host/server Josh is about the best we've found anywhere.

Lazy belly full night until bed.

2016 332

I wonder if there are any other niche stores that bemoan their fate and cry about it more than comic shop owners. Figure out what the consumer whats, deliver it and you'll more than likely stay in business. Rather than blame all the others in the machine accept your fate and do what the fuck you need to, to keep going.

Putting out feelers to do a segment on kids comics on the newly relaunched BOOM! comics podcast Chris Partin and I are doing.

Coolness! Got my first LCS sponsorship for a comic book podcast I'm doing. First issue from BOOM! for 2017 to be given away as a prize to a listener at the end of the year.

On the way home we saw a new foodtruck, not something we have around here and changed up the plans for the evening so that we could try them out.

The food was a solid base but far from what we hoped. We'll try them again with other dishes to truly see but I was mildly disappointed.

Pens win!

2016 331

Comic book day.

Backed up 13-14 gigs of TEAL Production shows this morning. Plus the first disk makes 16-18 gigs of shows plus another 2 not yet backed up. Not bad for a 'hobby'.

Looks like Chris and I are looking to start the BOOM! Addiction show back up with a new concept and new name. We have plans for a cool prize package for astute listeners.

Hashing out show ideas with Chris to try and keep things interesting.

Not really looking forward to lifting tonite but if that's what I gotta do to get to Chef Teri's chili, bring it!

No work out, time off after wok instead.

Lucha Underground and more BOOM! catchup.

2016 330

Another day another 8-9 hours knocked out.

Longish discussion of old dos/windows role playing games with Mike today. It was cool to scrape up memories I haven't played in for a while.

No workout.

Finally tried the re-opened Sonic and it was solid but not spectacular.

Chili, podcasting and a movie to finish out the day.

2016 329

Strictly catch up continues this morning. Different for us but ok I guess.

First day of work and more reasons to not like the current situation at home. All I can do is sit around and hope it changes. Absolutely powerless to have any effect and that is the hardest thing.

On my own this evening to comics and UFC sound like winners.

Pens win! and comics.

2016 328

Sunday morning.

NFL Gameday morning, by myself. Not much fun but...

Recorded and produced a Lords of Order this morning.

Not feelin NFL, trying some UFC instead.

Tryin to catch upon Aftershock books with a UFC PPV on the tube. Feels almost normal.

Chef Teri is home so we switch from UFC to NFL.

Steelers won.

Stirctly catch up.

2016 327

Slept too long this morning. Too many soft tissue pains.

College Gameday. Lots of killer games today gonna be hard to pick which to watch probably by something on pretty much all day here at the Moore household.

2016 326

Friday.

Realize this morning I lost $40 yesterday somewhere, somehow. Just further penance for what they fuck ever I have been involved in that was wrong.

I really want to meet Derek Coward in person.

Not feeling as bad as yesterday, that's cool. Too much crappy around, that's bad.

Might restart an old podcast with a co-host. We'll see.

Walked a couple miles and found the lost money.

Yummy pasta w side salad and killer deserts tonite, yummy meal with my honey, at home.

WVU women's soccer won their semi finale game and will play for the championship tomorrow.

College football to finish the evening.

2016 325

I feel another one of my 'darks' coming on. Not very excited.

I wonder if I should go train under Vampiro. He seems to have a handle on this dark thing.

Walked this evening and perhaps over did it or maybe waited to long between meals. Felt like shit most of the evening.

Pens won. Nice.

2016 324

Comic book day.

I always enjoy watching for and listening to folks talk about and wanting to find and waiting to sit at home and read comic books on Wednesdays.

BOOM!, Black Mask, Aftershock and Valiant have really gotten my attention lately. IDW/Hasbro's Revolution has grabbed me recently.

Dinner was a wash and then blah.

Pens lost, figures they are one of the lesser dependable fandoms this season so far. Lucha Underground was all Pentagon Dark so that was cool.

2016 323

Nice negative start to today, can't wait to see how it finishes up.

Pretty low key so things did not get any worse.

Motivating to workout and hour later than normal is proving difficult.

Talked to Mike today about the fires around Gatlinsburg.

Now talking to my brother about our parents. Whom he will probably never go visit but is interested in enough to ask me.

Hit some back core machines pretty hard, feels good sort of. Chef Teri measured better than she thought.

Team College Ninja Warrior and Fixer Upper for the evenings entertainment with a salad for dinner.

2016 322

Monday first day back to work after four days off. I don't like it.

Of the six machines I spent last week fixing three are having the same problems I fixed. Guess I didn't fix them after all.

Email sent. Let's see what kind of response it gets.

1300 and I am way ready to go home.

Got the next book in Veil Knights free, that's cool. From one of the contributing authors no less.

Workout postponed because of outside forces, not happy because it causes more heartburn tomorrow, but what the fuck ever.

Behind on Strictly Come Dancing so we watched shows from two weeks ago until bed.

2016 321

No hurry this morning.

Fun, fun misplace my wallet and suffered several minutes of yuck but it was ultimately found.

Doodles for breakfast but not bisquits and gravy we both went with french toast which was actually three slices stacked on top of each other. excellent meal.

On the road and an easy trip through Kentucky up until the toll booths on 77 south all of which were overwhelmed by traffic. Probably 30-40 minutes of the return trip was spent sitting in traffic waiting to get through the toll booths.

Home, unpacked and watching some NFL before bed.

Chef Teri and I are playing each other this weekend in our fantasy football league.

2016 320

Up early chillin a bit before gettin on the road.

Easy trip to Lexington.

Mom and dad enjoyed our visit and dad was sad we had to go, mom I'm not so sure what exactly goes through mom.s head anymore.

Checked into the hotel which was a funny adventure finding it. There were three by the same company stacked on top of each other in close proximity.

Tried out an Indian restaurant, masala and it rocked major. Very good food and the final admission that I do indeed like curry when it is done right. It will be on our places to try when we are in town.

Back to the room and finished listening to the Pens on radio since Lexington is not in a Pens TV area. Very different listening rather than being able to watch it.

2016 319

Up regular week time to see Chef Teri off. She can't take the day but I did.

Planned a Zatoichi marathon so I can start listening to my newly found Zatoichi podcast.

Plus plan to finish up another novel today on my way to reading twelve for the year.

I now have some presents ion the way for Chef Teri for Christmas.

Finished up the first five Zatoichi movies today, prime to listen to the podcast.

2016 318

Thanksgiving Day.

Up normal.

Pens won last night, over the Rangers that beat us like a drum recently

Prep for a meal at Chef Teri's mom's house.

Excellent meal from Chef Teri, traditional Thanksgiving faire.

Finished up a novel in two days which is exciting because I can seldom seem to keep after prose that intently.

Stopped by a cemetary to change out some flowers and took advantage of the weather by getting in a mile walk.

Home chillin with NFL on the tube.

Steelers with the win!

2016 317

Comic book day.

Hopefully finish up this morning with the remote work begun yesterday and I can put that reoccurring bullshit behind me.

Well as I wait to finish the project from yesterday two terminals thought to be working turn out to not be. Goody.

Wow Some of the problems Chef Teri is having at work may well be due to her association to me. That does not make me feel warm and fuzzy. I just don't know what to do about it, how to help.

Quick meal at our fave greasy spoon tonite.

Lucha Underground. New title holder. Johnny Mundo.

2016 316

Conference call to fix a problem that has be ongoing for almost a year. I'm not hopeful at all but will do what needs to be done to fix it at present. I am hopeful that we will soon (not bloody likely) be done with theses two vendors. Not been a very healthy relationship.

Seems I will be having a difficult time putting new novels on my iPad.

Body Combat was painful. Seems my shoulder is still very unhappy with the many things required of it during such a workout. So I'll just put it  on the list with my lower back and left hip and just buy stock in a pain reliever company.

Missed at least an hour of College Team American Ninja Warrior, forgot.

Did watch the season 24 finale of Dancing with the Stars. Podcast ready to go for the week.

2016 315

Oddly enough I saw this morning Mike had messaged me 30 or so minutes after going to bed. I answered and now will wait to see if it involves anything more than just a spot check.

Monday by the way. The start of an abbreviated work week for me. Thursday and Friday off for me but only Thursday for Chef Teri.

Long day at work.

Misunderstanding about work out that caused us to pass.

Yummy chili for dinner. Thanks Chef Teri.

Pens hockey, they lost.

Dancing with the Stars season finale, part one.

2016 314

Another full day. I like it. Kinda glad I can't stay in bed all day (hurts my back). Leaves more day to do all those things I gripe about not having time to do.

Thanksgiving plans are set.

NFL games today...and comics.

Dinner was yummy, breakfast.

Nick and Des stopped by. That's cool but always makes me wonder what I have done to injure Mike so.

2016 313

Up earlyish, which is cool cause it will give us plenty of day to do NOTHING!!

College Gameday and comics. Then college football and comics. Followed by comics.

Ran a couple quick errands. Then comics.

2016 312

We decide to officially pass on the house. Chef Teri is going to make the phone calls. I hope those go smoothly. Something tells me with the way things have been about that house they won't.

No probable resolution to our bug problem until more than likely the turn of the year. Almost 18 months after they got unbearable and up to five months since the neighbors moved out. My faith in our landlord is all but gone.

I have to get more persnikity about my medication issue as I have not gotten a return call from my DR since leaving the message Tuesday. Communication when I have appointments is good any other time it's like trying to pull a moose out of my ass.

982 week left till retirement, give of take. That's doable right...right?

At least I can count on the next two days not being at work the rest of the above, well adulting is really fun lately.

Figured out where Christmas money will come from. Lotsa stuff done today means less hanging chad. I don't like hanging chad.

Thinkin today on how a bailed on my brother and sister and never really looked back. We are siblings pretty much only by birth not really much else there. Very little relationship, especially in their formative years. My fault.

2016 311

Forgot to mention yesterday was comic book day. My most entertaining day right behind Fridays for I hope pretty obvious reasons.

Lucha Underground last night was wack with Sexy Star coming out of it with the Lucha strap. I figure she will lose it to Johnny Mundo next week but at least she is in the books, can't take that away from her. First Lucha female to hold all three belts at one time or another.

Internet reliability at work is no more than 75%. In the 21st century and considering how much we use it now with next gen on the horizon that is IP based that foretells much wringing of hnads in the future. Not that it currently isn't already an issue.

No we are being pursued by our realtor to make a decision on the house.

Saw that potentially our do nothing landlord won't clean out the apt next to ours so that the bug man can do his stuff until the middle of next month. The neighbors have been out since the middle of Sept. Yeah he's a fat fuck in my book fortunately he's a church official or I may actually expect less from him.

Salad for dinner with NHL Live and Thursday Night Football in the background.

2016 310

Worked on organizing my comics last night and realized I had missed playing with them. So many older ones I don't remember or simply have never seen before.

The bank wants to sell us the house for the price agreed but with out the washed dryer hook up being moved or turning on the water. As is. Which is the same as a foreclosure but they say that's not what it is. They also indicate the 89 offered is less than they want but they will deal. Offer pending till 12/15. I don't really like those parameters.

Pushed around some weights this evening, didn't miss it.

Home for a killer dinner and to watch the Pens get treated like a junior high team.

2016 309

Tuesday, first work day this week.

Nine plus hours of the same ol' stuff.

Ren Faires, hockey and comics are all I want to do. Except I can't really make money at any of those.

Chef Teri brings home about 60% of our monthly maybe I can try doing something that doesn't pay what I get here and be happier.

Dull day at work. 

Shortened body combat round.

Dinner.

Podcast

UFC.

Sleep.

2016 308

Up later today but a nice relaxed feeling in the household. Much different for what it has been the last month or so. Not looking forward to that returning but I imagine it will as all the current stressors are still there just put aside for a few days none were corrected.

Catching up on Strictly so far this morning

Time to read for a Thorcast recording later today.

Recorded one show and produced two. Plus studying up for another.

2016 307

Up early for day two. Same schedule as yesterday except we had to pack up our stuff and take it with us.

Much cooler today with a chance of precipitation. Yesterday the weather was perfect. Today, we'll see.

Nice relaxed day of more shopping and foodstuff sampling.More pictures of all that goes on in the corners of the the town.

Quick trip home, so it seemed.

Now to unpack, unwind and sleep. Tomorrow we took off as well.

Oh Steelers lost, Pens won as did the WVU football and men's basketball teams. Solid sports weekend in our fan absence.

2016 306

Up early to chill a bit.

Lack luster continental breakfast but it's fuel for the day so I guess it worked.

Damn that was an awesome day. We went in costume today and will chill in street clothes tomorrow.

More conscious of pics to show to those interested but not going.

Grabbed some shows and visited a few shops. It's nice being able to slow down with two day to enjoy.

So far two years going the food is generally poor. Drinks a plenty and yummy sides but the mains are not good. Well have to rethink eating here tomorrow.

Seven plus hours on site and now time for dinner.

We went to a cool 'gastropub' and then and ice cream shop. Today was really a good thing for me and helped reset my recently screwed thinking. I remembered what it was like to share something we both like with my loving wife. I pity having to go back to the real world.

Chilling at the room, posting FB pics. Then to sleep.

2016 305

Friday. Taking off early today to start our Ren Faire weekend.

I found it. My Google Fu still strong.

I expected to lessen but the rhetoric is still in full force on social media. The Liberals seem to feel they exist within an existential bubble and everything they do or say applies to only one side of the isle.

Everything packed and off on our adventure.

Thai for dinner and at the hotel room with some time to relax.

2016 304

Get to start the day off with the resumption of a trouble shooting remote access/teleconference call that was interrupted yesterday due to equipment failure. I am little more than a spectator and it frustrates me because I could be much more productive elsewhere.

Nope technical difficulties that both impede and have priority over my shit tale precedence and must be attended to first.

So I'm trying to get in touch with my wife who is traveling with her boss. No answer on G chat, text or cell phone and her bosses cell is busy. Needless to say I'm working on not freakin the fuck out. I called the office they are supposed to be working out of today and got no answer, it went to machine. The universe if fucking stacked against me today. Finally got ahold of her nearly an hour after tens of attempts.

Chef Teri and I also realized our attempt on the house was rendered null and void by lack of contractual fulfillment. We were told last week but it didn't register until last night. Oh well.

I'm nearly at my wits end for things I regard as bullshit that is really throwing my fucking life into disarray. I think I'm feeling an inkling of what the anti Trump people have been expressing about there perception of the future because at this point my doesn't look overly cheery.

Now the negative has moved from my head last week to my heart. I dislike this feeling more than the other. Things will work themselves out I suppose just leave great big raking scars in the process. Adulting.

Small chore break from work. Chef Teri dropped the car off to be detailed prior to our trip this weekend. While I was out I cashed my check and ran by the PO. Money and packages, adulting highlights for sure.

Pens lost.

Trip prep begins.

2016 303

Donald Trump is the President elect. I can't say I'm surprised...damn I'm surprised.

Comic book day more importantly.

I feel genuinely bad that so many people are walking around daily in fear and now more are and the intensity has increased. Anytime I think about fear I recall...'fear is the mind killer'...so true. With fear ever present in one's mind it fills so much space that it becomes more and more difficult to use it for anything other than to store and ruminate on fear. I feel for folks, I truly do.

There is absolutely no moderation in society as a whole anymore.

Seems like Clinton will take the popular vote and Trump the Electoral. Once again a demonstration that our government does NOT represent the people.

I simply can't fathom investing that much of my happiness on who is president. These people that can't seem to function today because of teh disappointment...I can't even.

Dinner was awesome.

Lucha Underground FTW!!

2016 302

Election Day. I have chosen the route of conscientious objector this time around. Selecting one of two septic tank bottom scrapings does not interest me.

It's interesting to me how everything now is driven by the genetics of a person rather than their intellectual shortcomings. 'White, male entitlement' is an example. Used to be dude's a dick was the excuse now it's our genome that is our descriptor. As a WASP cis-het male I have very quickly tired of being the root of all society's ills and ailments. All those that believe I'm the problem by glance because of my genetics 'fuck you!' At least do me the human courtesy of getting to know me before you write me off. If you don't you become part of the problem you are railing against.

Now we are caught trying to figure if we want to continue pursuit of a house or wait until later in 2017. Bitch cost us 350 bucks because of her shit.

Sent an email to a podcast host for misrepresenting a twitter exchange he and I had. No names were mentioned but he made me out to look like a dick when I wasn't being one and I took offense.

Society's desire to label to facilitate expedient dismissal is beyond tiring for me. Instead of the desire to consider people as individuals so many who desire their individuality in turn lump people broadly so that the out of hand dismissal process can be broadly applied to huge numbers instantaneously.

Purposefully staying away from social media tonite as I have no desire to get caught up in the shitstorm.

Reading Marvel silver age comics and watching the Pens beat Edmonton. Even with all the hype and speed Edmonton brought into town Pittsburgh still showed the route to the 2016-17 Stanley Cup goes through their house.

2016 301

Monday.

Sniff, sniff....I love the smell of political talk in the morning. Just finished up a discussion of a proposed tax levy and why the county can't seem to generate substantial money because of the good ole boy mentality prevalent in Mercer County.

Looking more and more likely we will hit up the NC Ren Fair this coming weekend and take Monday after off to recover.

Got our hotel for this coming weekend, looks locked in.

SO our house fell through because the cunt two timed us and it went into foreclosure. I think I want to check out Bluefield next, as Princeton has been done out. Two different houses have slipped through our fingers here maybe that's a sign.

Another late night for Chef Teri.

I managed 1.93 miles before she needed rescued.

Avocado toast and white chili for dinner.

2016 300

Up early.

Out early.

Six mile hike along the Gorge from Thurmond to Cenard.

New dish for dinner.

Pens won last night, Steelers lost today.

Some NFL football and then catchup on dancing shows for the podcast.

2016 299

College Gameday, coffee and biscuits and gravy all mean a great start to the day.

Unfortunately it stoops there because Chef Teri will more than likely spend most of the day out and about. Hopefully she will be back in time to watch WVU.

I have managed to record three podcasts, produce six and get some help in setting up a website for another.

Looks like pizza for dinner which will go swimmingly with college football.

Caught up on some Legion of Super-Heroes.

2016 298

Friday.

Hopefully our dinner reservation is a go, I need to call later to insure.

The black miasma that has been clouding my brain seems to have dissipated and now I am left with my normal disillusionment about things I don't like. Finally. A week is typically about how long it lasts. Now just to track how often in occurs or even if it has that kind of periodicity.

Today's work imperative is to get a couple mobile mappers, that we have not used in years, into operation so that some other entity can use them to makeup for their lack of 21st century tech. I worry about any thoughts to upgrade firmware this long bypassed, hopefully nothing like that will be required.

Diggin doing research for my upcomin Tick podcast. I really dig book research. This is the most upbeat I have felt since last week. I like it.


Dinner was awesome but the news about Blue Spoon was not. They may not be open much longer.

2016 297

Wow so now my mood has risen from bleak to waves of intense sadness. I can't even imagine what Mike goes through with this kinda stuff. I guess his situation is more my fault than I previously believed.

Not a good day. I'm actually looking forward to walking this evening.

No good news on the house. Now the appraiser has been delayed cause the bitch that wants to sell the house is doing stupid bitch shit and her realtor is as useless as tits on a car. No water so that we can complete our home inspection and a lean on the house which the appraiser says prevents him from doing his stuff. No because the appraiser has been delayed who knows when what the fuck gets fixed it will take him to get back to the house. Took about two weeks from when Chef Teri signed the papers.

Wow yeah this is the best week ever.

Dinner was blah, like me.

2016 296

Comic book day

I feel my head going 'dark' this morning so I need to be extra careful about talking about things that bother me until things "lighten" up.

Got a fire hydrant project finished today. It didn't turn out to be as mind numbing as I thought.

Really gettin to feel bad. I hope a nice casual walk well help even things out a bit. I know it will pass but the wait until is a beast.

Actually dropped a podcast today because the hosts pick a bad day to rag on each other and a topic I'm a fan of. Oh well, I'm not hurting for things to listen to.

Tried walking to clean the headspace and it didn't work. I have figured out that when things happen that I don't like beyond some triggering level it cause a negative cascade in me head that leads to my current feelings. Certainly doesn't bode well for more adulting as that is a constant, things happening we don't like.

Lucha was ok but I honestly didn't pay much attention. Tried to read comics but that didn't work either. No Pens game it started too late.

2016 295

November 1. Damn the year is moving by.

No new news in the house is disturbing. I'm starting to think we won't be getting this one after all but time will tell. I do have the feelings either the other realtor or the home owner is hiding something from us. Maybe nothing really severe but not completely up front non the less.

170 points to place on a map via location of their corresponding lat long attributes=long and tedious.

Ya eventually you quit talkin about that thing that pisses ya off every time you talk about it. I don't like what that means but there it is.

Hockey on the tube and some quick comic thoughts on the finger tips.

2016 294

Monday

I have the car so now no repeat of Friday's shift ending...thing.

I have come to the conclusion that my brother may well be the king of mansplaining. It never fails he takes the opportunity to educate me on those things I disagree with. As if that explanation will change my like or dislike.

I made it until 1400 then my mind just won't focus. Ugh still gotta make 2 hours.

Walked 3 miles today felt good mentally not so much so physically.

Dancing with the Stars interrupted our Strictly Come Dancing catch up.

I need to post last week's Dance Fevre and watch the vote of show from this past weekend's Strictly episodes, then record this week's DF.

2016 293

Up at 7.30, ugh.

NFL Gameday Morning while working on my Image read/re-read project.

Now I'm a pillow for Chef Teri as well as the above mentioned.

Strictly Come Dancing for Dance Fevre, studying

2016 292

Up @7 ugh.

College Gameday on the tube while trying to motivate to do something meaningful. Now working out too well.

New phones today. Means new toy for the next week or so.

2016 291

Friday, payday.

Starting to look at advance weather to see what weekend we are going to the Ren Faire. We've unfortunately waited until only two weekends remain.

Dress for Halloween day today at work. Got my Ren Faire outfit on.

'You're never really done with this business but you wake up one day and this business is done with you." Chael Sonnen 10/28/16. Preach it bra!

Sux no Blue Spoon tonite, see FB for my thoughts.

Looooooong day at work.

Killer chili from Chef Teri, makes up for Blue Spoon, mostly.

2016 290

When I post this it will be the 1000th post on that's blog. That's pretty cool.

Social media is still aflame about the Mockingbird writer fiasco. I for one am glad she's gone and I hope she keeps her feminist bullshit in HER novels so that I can easily avoid that bullshit.

The bullshit about the house is starting to pile up a bit. To the extent I'm no longer comfortable with it.

Pens play tonite. No work out. Yummy dinner planned. Things are majorly looking up once 170 gets here. Oh and I got my check. Daddy's flush!!

I'm on a marriage mail nuke sortie at the moment. I will find a way to keep from getting any more of the landfill bullshit.

Pens won!!!!

2016 290

Comic book day. Previews, my favorite publication.

Chef Teri off to help with another location today. Got home yesterday about an hour and a half later than usual so I expect the same today.

No update on the utility/mortgage no payment issue by the current owner of the house we are trying to purchase.

Main software I use for work failure. Customer service on the west coast=lots of down time this morning.

ESRI customer support is very professional in fixing problems perhaps not so in explanations nor choice of linguistic families they chose to give telephony support jobs to.

A new comic book writer is been social media beaten because of HER choice to take a pre-established Marvel heroine who had in previous iterations been raped and turn the story so that she willingly fucked around on her then husband. I figure that way the victim became empowered. In my mind she took a heroine that had been a victim and so was a strong exemplar character despite the crap that at times she had gone through and turned her into a loose moral fibre female dick by having her crap on her heart felt promise to her significant other. Loyalty is the most important human concept to me so I am much more drawn to a victim than to a lieing marital cheater. Your feminist agenda failed Mrs Cain and now you bear the brunt of the keyboard justice attacks. Enjoy your 15 seconds of comic book fame and we will welcome you back you you choose to be much more respectful of what came before you.

I walked a couple miles just to stay loose.

Lucha Underground to finish up the day.

2016 289

Today is the true start of some major changes for Chef Teri at work. Pending life changes as well with our home purchase moving forward after yesterday's positive home inspection.

Interested to see what becomes of the fact that the current owners have apparently allowed bills to lapse and I/we will not sign off on a satisfactory home inspection until our man has a chance to check the plumbing. Not water no plumbing inspection. No satisfactory inspection to sign...pretty simple.

Two computers up front that were down got fixed within half an hour. Nice when the machine works like is supposed to .

No workout today not feeling up to it.

Chef Teri work late so we went out to a greasy spoon for dinner.

Pens on the tube.

2016 288

Monday, start of the work week.

No workout today still trying to recover from yesterday.

Home inspection scheduled for today. Current owner fucking us over whether intentionally or not about having water on so we can get a full inspection. We'll see what happens.

Further working to get GPS locations for fire hydrants. 21st Century collides with 'good ole boy' the bane of my professional career.

House inspection went swimmingly. Handrail on back stairs (heads up only), outdoor air unit (age/maintenance), circuit panel (two circuits on one breaker). Nothing major or even worrisome. YAY!!! We do see where the power and more than likely the water has not been paid and one has been shut off and the other threatened. Perhaps the mortgage hasn't been paid either.

Bec FB live'd a happy birthday to Levi from mom and dad in Lexington. It was cool!

Lighter dinner that was good cause I can't cook and Chef Teri is still on the throws of siqness.

2016 287

Rough night for Chef Teri. This siqness thing is really messin with her.

We decided to go ahead and go to the Ten mile walk.

I hit the 10 mark and Chef Teri the 8 mark, siq as a dawg.

Five Guys for post walk refuel.

Steelers game. They lost.

2016 286

College Gameday and college football probably all day on the tube.Gives me a chance to clear/catch up on some reading projects. Got too many open and still more bouncing around in my head.

No Rising Star gotta get Chef Teri in shape.

WVU won. Alabama won. Come on Pens!!

Pens lost.

2016 285

Friday.

That will teach me. The Pens were down 2-0 at the end of the second not looking very good at all so I went to bed. They ended up scoring 3 unanswered in the 3rd and won the game. UGH!!!

Blue Spoon is on for tonite, Hungarian perhaps with some company. Nick may be there which will be cool.

Twitter is really wack today.

Just supported my first non comic book on Kickstarter.

Trying to track down GPS coordinates for the fire hydrants in Mercer county. It's interesting to pose 21st Century questions to back water, low rent, good old boy hillbillies. The looks on their faces or sounds of their voices is almost always amusing.

Blue Spoon was good food but not the meal we've enjoyed the best. Chef Teri still wayyyyyy under the weather glad she felt well enough to give that a try.

2016 284

Pens hockey this evening hopefully they can get off their recent shnide.

This idea for the Marvel B&W magazine podcast is really growing on me. Then again my ideas for a Warrior Nun Areala and Marvel Kaiju shows are still in there too.

This election cycle is really showing the petty/shitty side of huge swaths of the American people. I also have concluded that far more liberal/democrats use twitter than conservative/republicans or moderate/libertarians.

Set up ap for home inspection for this coming Monday. Things are moving forward. Now we have iffy water (problems?) at the apt. Just another reason to get the fuck out.

Chef Teri ill.

Pens not looking good so I'm hittin the sack.

2016 283

Comic book day.

Signing house loan papers today. I'm cool but I think Chef Teri is on the verge of having a cow.

Lunch with Chef Teri.

Chores

Chillin to some music.

2016 282

Found a Swamp Thing podcast, that's cool.

Sign loan papers for the house tomorrow morning. Things are moving forward.

Pens play tonite.

Hope to record a Dance Fevre tonite as well.

Body Combat was ok. Which is several steps up from what it has been.

DF recorded.

Pens sucktastic this evening.

So frustrating that I spend 10-12 hours a day engaged in bullshit and then after when I get the chance I am too drained to even keep my eyes open to attempt to do stuff I actually enjoy. Just fucking frustrating.

2016 281

Monday.

Pens, lose and Dancing with the Stars.

My list of Heroes con thoughts from recent memory. I wanted to get this down before I forgot.

2016 280

NFL Gameday Morning for our morning entertainment.

Steelers lose in full on fashion, Ben hurt.

Four hours, nearly of Strictly Come Dancing. Dance Fevre recorded and in excellent order to record the next episode after Dancing with the Stars tonite.

Finished up the evening with more NFL.

Consumed 6 manga and 25-30 comics this weekend, feels good.

2016 279

Got my boots in Thursday and comics order yesterday. Cool way to finish up the week.

Watched Clooege football and read manga all day. Volumes of Bride's Story, New Lone Wolf and Cub, Tokyo Ghoul, Bloody Mary, Welcome to the Ballrom and Food Wars.

WVU won, Alabama won and now watching the Pens.

2016 278

Pens won in a shootout.

Friday.

Workin on reoccurring troubles at work finally with both vendors involved on the phone at the same time remoteing in to look.

Blue Spoon Cafe was closed, dinner was workable but...

Paranormal Lockdown has me intrigued.

2016 277

Bank stop.

Realtor stop.

Offer in.

Brain blackness abating.

Todo list at work assaulted piece by piece until now the movement on all bullet points rests with others. Awaiting multiple responses.

Body Combat.

Pens banner raising and season opener vs the Capitals.

2016 276

Siq day number two.

Perhaps one of the houses we have looked at will come through after all.

Brain blackness fairly extreme today.

Walked.

Omlette spot.

'What a shithead I am' conversation with the wife.

Sleeps.

2016 275

Almost 4 miles of walking and I feel it.

2016 273

2 hours of Laundro Mat fun to start the day way early in the morning.

Walked almost 4 miles while Teri was lifting with her personal trainer.

Taco Bell lunch.

Bin diving some 25 cent bins at Crit Hit.

Steelers football.

Boots ordered.

2016 272

Renewal day.

Lotsa rain made things not dry.

Food was mediocre.

Renewal ranks as one of the coolest feelings I have had in ever. Julie was good at it, my bride was beautiful and it was cool wearing a kilt. Pics on FB and Instagram.

Dinner at the Railyard was a good finish to a so so food day.

2016 271

Friday.

Date night.

Picking up my new bi-focals today. Yay!

New glasses are weird. Gonna take quite a bit of getting used to.

2016 270

Well three of the four houses we wanted to look at have contracts on them and the fourth is suspect. This is going to be a long, frustrating, painful journey.

No house showings today after all. Back to start. That's Exciting, not.

Returned on kilt for smaller size but the one I like better fit. That's cool.

Gonna rain Saturday fuckin figures. Don't do shit and the weathers fuckin peachy try to do something nice and fuckin rain. Thanks dude it's appreciated more than you know or maybe you do know I don't fuckin care.

Yeah well crappy mood for me, thanks.

2016 269

Comic book day.

Walked.

New diner, yummy from Chef Teri.

Lucha Underground.

2016 268

Looks as though I will get my first ordered kilt today. Already picked up the second one from the PO this morning.

We look to resume the house hunt today as well.

One kilt fits the other is too large. Either way my Ren Faire costume is now complete as my ensemble for our vow renewal this weekend.

2016 267

Monday.

Got in some podcast contest swag I had won.

Reminiscing about my early days as a podcast listener.

Got a phone call and than an email after 1600 today about the Calibre/Pictometry stuff. Didn't answer the call but did the email.

Finally walked a sub 20 minute mile at the park. Now to push to get two out of three.

Dancing with the Stars.

2016 266

NFL Game Day Morning on in the background while studying for some Usagi recordings.

Recorded a Ronin Rabbit and Thorcast today. Feels like I'm back on my game.

Steelers lookin like Steelers this game.

2016 265

I believe Dabo Sweeney is my second favorite college football coach behind Nick Saban.

So for my Ren costume I have my shoes,spats, belt, shirt, bo staff, hat and googles. Two different kilts are ordered

Just got word my first kilt order will arrive three days after I need it. Sigh.

Hat, goggles, shirt and gloves all work. Kilts not in and spats are troublesome.

Chef Teri put on her entire ensemble and it look cool. Excited for folks to see her in it.

Four podcasts recorded and produced today. Felt good. Hopefully more tomorrow.

2016 264

So bullshit problems at work. Vendor calls at 4+p to try and work things out. It's kinda comforting to know that with the problem working on 3 months old that are issue are top of mind for them.

This whole house buying thing just feels hackneyed and thrown together on both the banks side of things but also from our Realtor.

Eye Dr today I get to be dilated, and not in a set way either.

I joined the roles of the bi-focals today. Progressive lenses but bi non the less.

Now just listening to podcasts as my eyes come back down from their occular high of earlier.

Blue Spoon dinner with Chef Teri was excellent.

Strictly Come Dancing.

2016 263

Stressing over whether or not I will have a kilt in time for the renewal.

Well shit! The house we put an offer in on went to other folks.

Purchased another kilt.

More chili for dinner man  Chef Teri is the bestest cook ever.

2016 261

Comic book day.

We are moving forward with our house hunt today. Singing some papers and what not.

First papers signed at Realtor's office. Not sure Chef Teri is in a good state of mind but everything went fine. Except for $500 we were hoping not to pay.

Walked 2.8 miles still felt not right but at least I got them in.

Lucha tonite.

2016 260

New day.

Same day.

Another day.

Pain in the ass work assignment cancelled because I am involved in something above my pay grade.

Body Combat was a slog as well as yesterdays walk.

2016 259

First day of the week.

Finally got a walk in, 3 miles. Didn't really feel good but I suppose it was necessary.

2016 258

Lazy slow day.

NFL Gameday morning to get the juices flowing.

Then a full day of NFL with four different games watched and parts of two others.

2016 257

Power went off this morning for some utility work so we jaunted out around 8 ish.

Had a bout of vertigo that going back to bed seemed to clear up but still not feeling right.

Working on finishing up a reading project with SEC, Alabama, football on the tube.

I wonder if I could stomach reading Batman from the beginning? Those Golden and early Silver Age stories are brutally dis-entertaining to me. I would like to be in on 'cool kids' stuff by knowing Batman though.

Finished a second reading project as well as a first today.

2016 256

Last day of work this week.

Blue Spoon Spanish stop today.

I have a recharged want to read comics and perhaps podcast about them.

Multiple things going on this weekend we'll actually have to pick and choose. Nice problem to have but also not as some things will be missed until perhaps next year.

Dinner was killer.

Recorded a Dance Fevre.

Finished up a reading project.

2016 255

Thursday, first day of work this week. I didn't miss it.

Going back to a couple houses this evening to try and narrow down and move forward with the bank.

Dinner was yummy salad and pasta. Man Chef Teri can cook and this one time I don't mean in a sexy way.

2016 254

Breakfast out was a good break before we start life back up as usual tonorrow.

House hunting stuff for most of the day.

2016 253

Reading X-men. Blogging X-men.

The Americans season 4 running in the background.

Couple showings lined up today. Three houses each worse than the previous. None of the three moved us.

Body combat.

Dancing with the Stars new season is interesting.

2016 252

Monday but not a work day.

Mile walk.

Errands and lunch.

Mile walk.

Home catching up on the latest season of The Americans. The writing with the daughter jumped the shark for me but Chef Teri still like it so we'l ride it out.

Maybe time to read and blog some about comics for me.

Dancing with the Stars and some Monday Night Football finished up the evening quite well.

2016 251

NFL Sunday morning.

Steelers win.

Quiet day at home.

2016 250

Up early. Mothman Festival on the agenda today.

Smooth trip to Pt Pleasant

Tu-Endie-Wei state park. Smallest in the state and on my goto list. Done. Cool park with lots of history.

Mothman festival was cool, what I expected and disappointing all at the same time. Kinda weird to say.

Grabbed a crypto book and oogled the fact I was feet away from Nick Redfern.

On the way back home stopped at a place in Charleston for an early dinner. College football on the tube.

2016 249

Friday.

Tried a new place for lunch yesterday,Sister's Coffee House and went back this morning for breakfast. Disappointed that the item we wanted they didn't have but what we got was good.

Thai night was good.

College football to finish the day up.

2016 248

First day off from work of the next seven.

Three house visits and five drive bys.

Body Combat was ok.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding is the entertainment for tonite.

Finished up with ad NFL game.

2016 247

Dr visit today and had a list of things to accomplish. Got em all with only one complication. That's pretty good for me.

Dude buggin my favorite restaurant on FB about vegetarian is about to piss me off.

Lookin forward to loggin some more miles walking this evening. It's currently a physical activity I actually enjoy.

Got some of my renewal/ren costume stuff in today. Time will tell if it will work outbut it's cool to start down the journey into cosplay/ren faire stuff

Walkin was good.

Two of the three Ren Faire items did not work out ad are going back. One may even cause me to re think my outfit.

2016 246

Steelers won and no one made stage four in the ANW finals.

It's interesting to watch the fallout of the NC transgender legislation and the virus like spread of 'protests' during the playing of the national anthem at sports contest.

Political shit on FB is really pissing me off on a consistent basis today. Pretty I won't be ablt to stomach it or Twitter

Body Combat seems to be getting tougher rather than easier as I would expect.

2016 245

Monday.

Walked three miles and almost got my pace up to three miles an hour, which is kind of a goal. Just over three miles in less than 61 minutes.

Steelers and Ninja Warrior final both on tonite with SO you Thin You Can Dance finale and Dancing with the Stars season premier to find.

2016 244

Hiking seven miles can take it out of ya.

2016 243

Face 2 Face, Diabetic Pharma based insurance support meeting.

3.7 miles walked/hiked feels good.

Prescription bullshit for far too long this afternoon.

Went to dinner at a new place. It was pretty dang good.

We both ordered our renewal ensembles.

2016 242

Friday. Last day of the week. Much needed break from the mindlessness that pays me money.

I want/need to recharge and rekindle something I'm passionate about. I was once told years ago to find it because I seemed without reason. I think it would help me focus through the negativity I seem to frequently feel. Problem is I don't want to do it alone and that makes it even more difficult to find.

Hmm planning something kinda cool and out of my wheelhouse for October. I hope my bride enjoys it as well. Maybe it can start a thing we do every so often.

Time to head out to dinner with my best friend and shake off this shit in my head.

Some one on onetime was the perfect fix for getting the regularness back into my head. Great evening with Chef Teri.

2016 241

Lotsa time this morning to think about the things I am unhappy with. Much darkness abounds now. I am in an absolutely shite mood. So much so Chef Teri said she could feel it.

We are doing a seven mile hike with my brother and his wife and daughter Sunday, if it doesn't rain too much.

Two more Kickstarter fulfillments today. Yes.

Three houses set up to be checked out today.

Four houses visited another solid contender, perhaps my favorite of what we have seen.

It was particularly weird checking out the house of someone I know while he is still living there. Kinda icky.

2016 240

Comic book day.

Checked out 5 houses this evening. We have a solid contender for 'the one'.

Lucha Underground tonite season 3.

The highlight of the day was talkin Lucha Underground with my longest time podcasting friend, Derek Coward. It was way cool.

2016 239

I want to find a college football podcast I enjoy but most wander well afield of anything I am interested in. I have pull 8-10 and I'll check out an episode or two to see if I can follow any this season.

Body Combat just seems to be getting tougher and tougher. Not really any easier on mind or body.

2016 238

Quiet holiday off from work.

That is all.

2016 237

Walked.

Washed clothes.

Food shopping.

Secured a realtor and visited our first listing.

2016 236

First day of 3 day weekend.

College Football, baby!!!

Did get out and walk this morning. Absolutely beautiful weather today. Fall is definitely in the aire today.

Lotsa college football today, as it should be.

2016 235

Last night I get a text from the Orkin dude around 8.40p to set up a time the very next day to do the bug spray shit. I take time off from work and tell him a 10 hour window that will work. Never hear back

This morning I texted and he says 11.30 to 1 sometime in there. Take about 30-60 minutes to do.
Then at 12.52 he texts and says he'll be there at 1.30.

We did get an appointment with a realtor that Chef Teri had though had blown us off but had never gotten the message her co-worker said he would pass on. So that's cool.

The overall lack of anything approaching me idea of professionalism in this area is going to cause to me to commit murder. The fuckin good ole boy mentality is rife and is a fuckin pain in the ass.

Spray done but apparently it's going to be a multi month kinda thinga. Hopefully the next go round we won't be here.

Dinner was cool and I'm kinda glad our regular place was closed and we went with a different place we had not yet visited.

2016 234

Called Frontier to prorate our bill, saved almost 12 bucks and filed a formal complaint with the way the fix was handled. I'm sure it will come to shit but a body can only do what it can.

I'm working the realtor/viewing thing. I think Chef Teri has enough on her plate and was taking things personally that I don't think were. either way it was not peaceful for her frame of mind and me being the asshole I am rarely have a peaceful frame of mind to disturb.

Nice dinner and cleansing talk with Chef Teri. She was more upset then I originally knew. Hopefully things are on the mend.

2016 233

Comic book day.

Walked.

Dinner.

2016 232

Season 23 of Dancing with the Stars full cast announced today. Sounds like it should be an interesting season.

Body Combat.

Minotaur from 2006 staring Tom Hardy.

Cool new dinner idea from Chef Teri tonite, yummo as are all of her creations.

2016 231

Monday. Week start.

Almost 2.5 miles walked. I think I need a break from the walking starting to feel it more after every day.

2016 230

No internet makes updates kinda tough.

Sittin on 3 podcasts and can't work 'em.

8/31 supposed date for internet fix.

Walked Sat and Sun. Feels good.

2016 229

Friday. I am fuckn completely ready for this suck fucker of a week to be in the past.

Waiting for lunch which may turn this day around earlier than usual.

Had lunch with Chef Teri which is about the only goodness for today.

Walked for a third day in a row today.

2016 228

Beautiful day. Let me count the mother fuckin ways.

Internet down at home fix date, to be determined. Bugs rampant spray date, yet to be determined. iPad set up to listen to podcasts, fuckin no doin whatever it wants despite me. Set up computer at work, fuck no nothing starts as it should most require internet which is always fucked at work.

Nervous about seeing a Realtor, small stuff but still bouncing around in the head. Work out today, don't really want to but it just is an addition to my 'adult' list.

Gotta try to find a reliable way to watch this week's SYTYCD after the fact. Supposed to be pretty straight forward, fuck no. That's just an introduction to the fuck that is the inside of my head this morning.

Good Morning!!!

So after taking time off from work for the appointment the Realtor stiffed us. Having swallowed the above already today I was incensed. The proffessionalism in this area abso fuckin lately sux fuckin donkey fucking dick.

Pizza and Stranger Things made the evening much better than the day.

2016 227

Comic book day.

We watched competitive arm wrestling last night. Interesting.

Walked outside today. I think maybe I can deal with walking a bunch at least for a little while.

2016 226

People who choose to live in fear absolutely disgust me. If you are afraid move aside and let those with more courage make decisions. You can go home and bury your fucking head until Jesus comes if you want but let the rest of us that want change try to change things.

Body Combat kicked my ass tonite. I swear it's getting harder and I'm not getting any better at doing it.

Internet is out.

Sleep.

2016 225

Monday. Start of yet another in a seemingly endless number both experienced and yet to be work weeks.

Trying to initiate a multi vendor trouble shooting call. Yes it is as much fun as it sounds.

Exclusionary verbiage is really getting to be the thing du jour. I find it disgusting. Righting wrongs by catering to only a set number of individuals is not a fix but simple and continuation of existing prejudicial thinking.

Actually giving thought to helping my brother Levi start up his long distance hiking club. On a limited basis perhaps.

Ninja Warrior tonite. I should be posting some podcasts but oh well.

2016 224

Lazy day.

Two podcasts recorded.

Lotsa testosterone movies watched.

Salvage Dawgs for the finale.

2016 223

Most of today will be about my first 5 mile walk/run competition.

Tiring day but worth it because Levi made a comment that made me cry. Not because it hurt but because it was a description of the very reason I did the walk today and I, surreptitiously accomplished what I wanted to.

I was sad because Chef Teri didn't walk with me but I completely understand why and agree it probably would have been a bad situation for her.

Rested up at home but unable to get comfortable. Hopefully I will be able to sleep.

2016 222

Maybe doing some podcasts today. Maybe, reading comics still feels too chore like but I really want to keep Thor, Dr Fate and Usagi going. I'm hoping that if I lay off comics and only read those it will stay palatable.

Kinda lookin forward to hittin up Blue Spoon this evening, been a couple weeks since the last time.

So you get an Insurance email that has a hyperlink to correct or verify issues but the hyperlink sends you to the wrong website. What the fuck kinda logic is that. WV governmental stuff is shit. This state is so unbelievable backwards it defies explanation.

Going to add Turmeric to our supplements.

2016 221

Vacation day but not really the kinda day I wanted. Seems I am having to day with stuff like that more than I enjoy.

How is it when you become an adult you loose more control of your time and actually end up spending less time doing the things you want and more doing those things that in the long run won't amount to anything.

The older I get the more I detest the older I get. Being an adult now pretty much sux donkey.

2016 220

Comic book day.

I have decided to change up my comic book collecting philosophy. Looking at trimming back the monthly investment as we are considering buying a house. Maybe eve giving the reading of comics a rest in favor of the millions of tomes of prose I have stocked up.

Did a leg only routine today, well some abs and back as well.

Starting to feel another 'dark feeling' time coming on. Not good.

2016 219

One more day of work ticked off the list.

Made a couple calls to try and get more info for the bank later this week.

Body Combat hurt, in a good way. I guess if that's possible,

2016 218

Another trailer showing today, maybe the coolest of the bunch so far. Unfortunately the oldest as well.

Workout today and stopped when Chef Teri as done even though I didn't do everything I wanted. Good thing I did because I am beat up now went at it too hard for the amount of time we have taken off lately.

Sleep will be good.

2016 217

Sunday.

Reading, brainless TV marathon.

2016 216

Great breakfast.

Saw the parents, that's really all there is to say.

Hit up Whole Foods and a really killer bookstore killing time while we were in Lexington.

Excellent dinner at a small Cajun place close to the UK campus.

Easy trip back home. Unpack and chllin a bit before bed.

2016 215

Another showing today, probably my favorite of those so far. Last day of work for a couple,

Gonna hit up the bank next week and see what they can do for us .

Pretty easy trip to Lexington tonite. Took us four tries to find a dinner spot. A kinda out of the way Greek/Mediterranean place. Solidly good food. Got frustrated and trashed the screen on my phone but that's on me. Just funny that for as long as I've had cellphones it's the first time I ever managed to do that.

2016 214

Another showing lined up today.

Really liked this one but it's a bigger bite as we would buy it. We haven't really talked about that eventuality yet.

Again not sure how Chef Teri feels other than the lot rent is kinda steep. True but...

Body Combat tonite for the first time in over a week. Nothing doing tomorrow as we are going out of town.

2016 213

Comic book day.

Gonna check out an apartment on my own today but have showings both Thur and Fri with Chef Teri.

Bug man tonite.

Having a tough concentration day today.

The apartment was pretty solid. Not sure how Chef Teri feels.

2016 212

First workout in over a week today, maybe looking forward to it.

Calling and trying to set up apt showings. Not working out well.

I can't seem to get three schedules to match up. Sometimes it works out other times not.

Lotsa adult talkin the past week or so. Very tiring.

2016 211

Works week starts today, yay.

Boring day at work.

Appointment to get some work done on the apartment fell through, now on for Wednesday.

Pizza and cheese sticks for dinner.

Decided to try to read prose instead of comics which I have become extremely disillusioned with. We'll see.

2016 210

Chill morning.

Grown up crap in the middle of the day.

Black Dawgs for the evening.

2016 209

Up at our normal weekly time. Chillin before heading to Roanoke for BaconFest VA.

Damn it was bloody hot but a fun time.

Hit up Black Dawg Salvage and B&D Comics while we were in the area both are solid interesting places for us while in Roanoke.

On the way back took a detour through Peterstown.

Home and finish up with a UFC on Fox card.

2016 208

Friday last day of the work week.

Another viewing set up for tonite.

Seems we were not important enough for the person to meet us to see the townhouse. Fucker.

Major melt down tonite but I'll live.

2016 207

Went to view an apt tonite. It was the first and a solid choice moving forward.

2016 206

Comic book day

Instead of exercise we decided to drive around looking for a new place to live.

2016 205

Body Combat kicked our asses but the workout felt good.

2016 203

Up early with mindless drivel on the tube and a Hanna Barbera DC catchup in the eyeballs.

Now back to some pre Secret Wars II Marvel reading.

Gotta read for a record a Thorcast.

Podcast recorded.

Mini water leak crises averted leading to the decision to find a new place to live.

New episode of Salvage Dawgs and bed.

2016 202

Chef Teri prepared a delicious omelette for breakfast and then we chilled the morning away with Ip Man 3.

Found a new restaurant in Beckley to try.

Dept H from Dark Horse and Paper Girls from Image are both pretty good reads.

Powers catchup. Much better written season than the first.

Chef Teri's philly steak and cheese for dinner.

2016 201

Friday. Feels like any other day. Hot as shit and nearly boring as fuck. I get paid for it all so I'm happy about that.

I think we may ratchet up our searching for another place to live.

Looking forward to date night at our new favorite local eatery.

Date night didn't go the way I wanted it to but it was pleasant none the less.

2016 200

Another day here in the hot box.

Boringly repetitive day at work.

Body Combat, blah.

Excellent dinner from Chef Teri...my current favorite of our slate of 'healthy' meals.

TV and Marvel catchup the rest of the night.

2016 199

Comic book day.

Intermittent internet at work I believe is more frustrating than none at all.

Trying to listen to podcasts but it's loosing it's appeal as well as making them myself. Not sure why maybe just a normal saturation of interest.

It's funny that the thing I look forward to most in the current comic culture climate is a catalog of comics. Previews is my go to comic book enjoyment publication.

Salmon on wild rice with a picoese cold salad. Not the most exotic offering From Chef Teri but I excellent tasting filling meal.

More Marvel catchup.

2016 198

Another day. Today's depressing thought is what I will have left physically and mentally when I retire in 19 odd years.

Roughly 6950 days until retirement. I mean when you look at it like that...it's fucking forever.

45-50 minutes of Body Combat is rough. No liking this latest module because of a couple elements, hopeing they will change with the next unit.

Trying to catch up on some of by Marvel backlog.

2016 197

Monday.

It's cool to be in the position that I still haven't cash my paycheck from Friday.

Dr's visit today to get some stitches pulled and perhaps get biopsy results.

Thinking about taking time of from comic books and really trying to concentrate on prose.

Threw together a chest arm work out today.

American Ninja Warrior and So You Think You Can Dance catchup.

2016 196

Just regular stuff today.

Breakfast.

Mall run for some new school clothes.

Back home to order more school clothes.

Mark Bowe on FB Live.

Barnwood Builders on marathon.

Did catch a live UFC on Fox card last night been a while.

Chef Teri checked the week's menu for this coming week and Blue Spoon. I think that means she wants to continue our Friday date night dinners out as much as I do. Unfortunately it means four straight days of workin out but, oh well.

2016 195

Excellent breakfast from Chef Teri, who felt it necessary to remind me who is in change and truly holds sway over my tummy.

Manga reading day.

Chef Teri wanted to go out so she drove while I played Pokemon Go...until my battery ran out and I found out that playing while hooked to the charger tends to make the phone overheat and shut off.

We ended up in Bramwell at the Corner Shop. Solid food but not worth the wait we went through today. Hopefully just a really busy day.

Now lest round out the day with a UFC on Fox card.

2016 194

Friday.

Pay Day.

Morning started off well with Chef Teri asking what we had planned for the weekend. Which means she wants to get out and do something. Cool.

Manhattan Transfer to start the chilled weekend I need. Vocalese was my start but man Brasil And Offbeat of Avenues are both hard to forget. There newer stuff just doesn't have the magic for me the older stuff did.

Perhaps some Rippingtons and/or Spyro Gyra is next.

Had a wonderful dinner at a new place, for us. It was in perfect harmony with my vibe today which together made the meal a top five ever for us.

Crossfit games and a quick second desert to finish the day. Nice.

2016 193

More computer problems at work with two vendors each wanting to pass the buck to the other with a complete that/s not our problem from both for one of the issues.

30 minutes of Body Combat.

Team Spartan finale.

2016 192

Comic book day.

Computer problems at work, far above my pay grade.

4 miles at 3.7 miles an hour was tough but after the 2 mile mark I passed the wall and it was just a matter of keeping my mind focused and not quitting. Physically though it was smooth after 2.

2016 191

Another day at work.

No gym today because went went over to Chef Teri's mom's house for some family time. Her brother, several nieces and first cousins were in town. Hamburgers and Hot Dogs insued.

2016 190

Monday.

Solidly restful weekend this past.

American Ninja Warrior and a visit from Nick and Des. W00t!

2016 189

Chill morning.

Weekly supplies gathered courtesy of Chef Teri.

Now lunch and to finish up the second season of Outlander.

Some chili for dinner and the rest of the first season of Cleverman.

2016 188

Finally putting up the comics that have been collecting since Heroes the first of June.

UFC 200 on the tube.

Wow Hateful 8 is a funny movie. I don't think that was Tarentino's intent.

Highlander for Chef Teri's edification.

2016 187

Friday.

First thing this morning because of cleaning nightly emails I learned something useful about Audacity. Coolness.

Interesting stuff tonite. A nearby town is having a peaceful march by members of an offshoot #blakclivesmatter group.

Mexican for dinner.

Catching up on some MMA.

2016 186

Half a day at work today.

Dr ap to remove questionable skin thing from my arm went well. Took a few to exercise the Pokemon Go app while out and about. Level 6 with a couple cool captures so far.

Twenty one more comics in our ongoing attempts to complete a couple runs came in the mail today.

Very good dinner from Chef Teri.

All in all a comfortable, wish they could all be this way,kinda day. I needed it after the first part of the week.

I just explained Tempest,  the console game to Chef Teri and got way too excited.

2016 185

Comic book day.

2016 184

Day two of yet another week.

My motivation to do anything other then breathe is not there today.

Complications bother me. I think it's why I'm very much a spur of the moment kind of person. I lack the discipline to see things through if I actually take time to think about them. I can find plenty of reasons to not do a thing. Spur of the moment keeps things interesting and planning makes things boring. My biggest complaint right now is that M-F all 24 hours are pretty much planned out and are endlessly the same, week after week. I'm 48 years old and spontaneity is a word in the dictionary only. That is all we can all go back to our thoroughly boring, meticulously planned out life.

Just finished eating my lunch and I feel much better then the above statement. It's still true for me but just true not an overwhelming feeling. I wonder if that is the kind of stuff Mike goes through. Gotta be tough to work through.

I spend so much time in a negative headspace I truly don't want it. The problem is the causes are the most important things I deal with daily. Can't really change because I'm not willing to effect my quality of life. Damn it makes for some miserable times.

The day finished up pretty solidly with a huge salad for dinner and Ancient Aliens, Lip Sync Battle and SYTYCD on the tube.

2016 183

Monday

There are always problems updating the maps for the telecommunicators.

Workout, blah!

Ninja Warrior was cool.

2016 182

Up way too early this morning.

Wonderful breakfast from Chef Teri.

The world has truly surpassed anything that can be explained using any type of logic. Slant and spin is reflected in every bit of 'news' you can find.

I have Chef Teri and her 'eye for detail' helping with my comic book collecting. We'll see how it works long term.

2016 181

I think today is a good day to try and catch up on some UFC cards.

2016 180

Friday end of the work week on final winding down of yucky evenings as well.

Nice seafoodish dinner from Chef Teri tonite. She is so wonderfully creative in the ktchen. Much like creatives in other venues, she prefers to focus on the edibles.

2016 179

Another day at work, so far.

My check was a different amount. Curious.

Team Spartan was the highlight of the day.

On to tomorrow.

2016 178

Comic book day.

Slow day at work.

Rest day from the gym.

Cool day at the comic shop.

Lucha Underground next to penultimate show for season 2. Word is that Evilesse and Prince Puma will both be gone after season 3. They have at least two more after that to fill slots.

Homemade Chinese-ish fried rice from Chef Teri was easily better then anything we can find here in our food desert.

Mom doing well.

Still no contact with Mike. I wonder at times that I allow myself what I did for him to dislike me so.

2016 177

Didn't end up going to work today. Instead had to sit around waiting for the phone tec to stop by to fix our internet.

Frontier is much bullshite.

I did however get some time to catch up on Valiant comics, it was good.

Body Combat has become no fun. I hope it's because of the particular routines and not just having run it's course. Either way it is currently as non enjoyable as anything else I'm doing at the gym. After more then a year I had hoped my feelings would have changed but they have not. Every trip to the gym is nothing more then a chore.

Chef Teri's mom has reaffirmed something for me that will forever be puzzling. What is the draw for people over 60 in rural areas and Fox. Those people spew just as much rhetoric as anyone on the left but yet folks eat it up. That channel hurts my brain.

Internet fixed so out online life can now resume normalcy.

Not sleeping well lately because of ongoing family situation that will not end until this weekend. UGH.

2016 176

Lazy morning before doing some birthday shopping for Chef Teri.

Chilled at mom's for a bit.

Pretty much the entire weekend.

Chef Teri seemed to like her presents. Even spent several hours playing with one of them.

Going back to work tomorrow sux.

2016 175

If nothing else it's Friday.

So far. I like music from the 20's - 30's, movies and TV shows from the 70's - 80's and comics from the 80's - 90's. I seem to be rather displaced in terms of my pop culture.

Workout sucked,

Having dinner and hanging with Chef Teri's mom for the evening.

2016 174

Blah.

Blah

Blah

No internet at home.

2016 173

Comic Book Day.

Plan to try fast walking three miles today.

Yeah 3 miles at 3.5 miles and hour was tough.

Yummy dinner from Chef Teri last night.

Watched some killer matches on Lucha Underground last night most of which was the set up for Ultima Luch 2.

Internet is out and we won't see a tech until 7/5. Fuck them!

2016 172

I can tell today will be an interesting day for me. On the way to work I had the privileged of re-enjoying all the mistakes and things I wish I had done differently where Mike and Nick are concerned. Usually that means I will be fighting off the thoughts and feelings for the majority of the rest of the day.

More often than not I believe the cause of such things to be supernatural. Making them that much tougher to stop.

Tally Ho!!

Finally finished work. Body Combat seemed much more intense than the past but finished it as well.

Now home working on the collection.

2016 171

Monday.

Work stuff, not fun.

No exercise tonite we are heading out to a Princeton Rays game.

The weather was kinda rough but we stuck out 6 full innings plus came home with a magnet season schedule (which is really why I wanted to go).

Finished up the day with a two hour does of American Ninja Warrior.

2016 170

Recorded a couple Thor shows.

Got some lovin in this afternoon. All is good in the world.

Had an interesting exchange on FB that made me consider what I post and how I say it. Only momentarily.

Then saw a high school buddy had locked me out on twitter and FB. Damn pissin off people right and left.

Nick and Des stopped by. Yay!

2016 171

Up fairly early.

Caught up on our non drama shows.

Went flood relief supply shopping.

UFC PPV catchup.

Recorded a couple shows today, finally. Felt good.

Now to read some comics.

2016 170

Apparently according to many friends on FB the world is coming to an end because of flooding caused by some rather severe rains the past 24 hours. It's not like those fuckers have never been flooded out before nor that folks have never seen it happen.

Just relax folks and get in a position to help if that is your bent.

UK voted to leave the European Union yesterday, being the first country to ever do it. Gloom and doom over the end of the UK now reigns on social media.

Walked 2 miles in just under 35 minutes. Which means I should be able to get it done in 1.5 to 2 hours.

Quesadilla burgers for dinner, yummo.

2016 169

It's funny to consider that the days are now getting shorter and that we are officially in summer.

Plan is to go to the Bluefield Blue Jays season opener to catch a game and get their magnet season schedule. I'm a sucker for giveaways.

Yet another Kickstarter arrived to day. I dig do that and then just getting stuff in the mail.

Good dinner especially considering the options locally.

Caught 3 1/2 innings of the Bluefield Jays 2016 home opener before rain forced us home.

2016 168

Comic Book Day.

Internet at work makes me need to fucking kill a body it's so fucking frustrating fucking slow. We are fucking 911 with direct ties to every fucking telephone company in the fucking county and our internet connection fucking sucks fucking donkey dick. FUCK!!

My LCS failed to pull a book on my pull list prior to selling out. You know honestly that is one of the best reasons to just go with DCBS. If they have to be reordered why not just order them from a supplier to begin with and cut out the middle man.

Lucha Underground was good. The female tag team match between teams that had ladies that had beef's with each other was the coolest.

2016 167

Next.

Yeah bedtime. Ciao.

2016 166

Monday. Back to work. Holiday.

WV Day, summer solstice. Strawberry Moon.

Lotsa stuff going on today regardless of me.

As expected today, focus is lacking.

Workout was accomplished less pained than I thought.

Ninja Warrior is cool but man Team Spartan tweaks the heart strings. Not the sob stories watching these people pull together to get all five through. That's my kinda stuff.

2016 165

Sunday morning.

Some solid adult time, yeah baby!

Plans today are to go bin diving.

Amelia's is the coolest place Chef Teri and I have been to, to date.

Bin diving was tough. What we have left is hard to find and expensive when found which we knew was where we were getting to but still. We did manage to snag 8-10 books for decent prices. Silver Age books do not come cheaply. Now all we have left are a handful of the Journey into Mystery Thor books between 84 and 112. Pricey.

We met up with and chatted with Darrin and Ruth Sutherland. Cool folks that we have met through podcasting.

Dinning was ok. Better than home but not the quality that Amelia's has been but then nothing will be so.

Home, unpacked, chillin till bedtime. Looking forward to our own bed. I guess I have grown into one of  those old folks that sleeps better at home than on the road.

2016 164

Day two,sure to be the busiest day of the con it's Saturday.

Breakfast again at Amelia's. Oh we'll be there tomorrow as well.

They let us in early with a three day badge. Well just early enough so that we had just hit the floor when the announce they had opened for everyone. More bull shitty treatment for the folks that paid the most.

Finished up perusing all the artists, creator, print booths. Except for those handful that had high named talent the caused insane lines of people wanting to get stuff signed. For the recordChef Teri and I get every book signed we buy and if the creator/s are not at the booth when we are we come back to purchase when they are to get signatures.

Back to the room for a rest (and nap by the Chef). Taking stock of our booty we have probably 50-60 single issues and trades to read plus a hardcover and two novels.

My Father's Day loot was a kickass Dr Who throw pillow, a Lumberjanes To the Max hardcover volume and my first piece of original art, a Vampiro/Pentagon Jr splash page from the 3rd issue of the Lucha Underground mini.

Dinner was a cool place called Bella Fresco Cafe.Nice place good food, killer desserts.

Chillin at the room and bedtime.

2016 163

Heroescon.

Friday was an easy trip with a cool breakfast at a first time place for us Amelia's.

Waited until 10 to get in even though we had 3 day passes. Met a really abrasive guy I wanted to throat punch.

First up was a beeline to Margurite Bennet's and Afriela Kristantina's booths, side by side to get my copies of InSexts signed.

We then spent the next 5 hours eyeballing all the smaller press, indie artists and indie isle booths.

No lunch so we went to Food Truck Friday for dinner. Nice food, rained a little bit but not too bad. Not the best place for the people for food trucks, no place to sit really but we found something nearby.

Chilled at the hotel until sleeps.

2016 162

Comic book day.

2016 161

Nothing new.

Workout didn't go as Chef Teri had planned and I think she was a bit  miffed.

Sleepytime.

2016 160

Monday.

Dr appointment.

Work.

It's interesting to watch the liberals on my Twitter go apeshit in regards to gun control because of the Orlando massacre. As apeshit as watching conservatives when talking about trans/bathroom issues.

2016 159

Wonderful breakfast of a pico  and italian sausage omelette with oven toast and coffee. Of course I did return the spousal wonderfulness in kind so the morning has been coolness itself.

TV background and comics so far today.

Pens win!!!

2016 158

Up early this morning.

Netflix to catch up.

Deadpool was...not good.

JCVD marathon to finish up the afternoon, evening and night.

2016 157

Friday.

So apparently the bad head space extends to today, perhaps even more intense than yesterday. Yippee!

Final PT appointment today. I suppose Runyon will ask about it Tuesday.

Workout was good it helped put the last vestiges of my mental, emotional 'darknes' behind. Now to try and repair the damage done to those around me.

Nice dinner at The Spot tonite and back home to catch upon some TV shows.

2016 156

Nice day outside, which of course means it's a weekday and I will spend 8-10 hours of it inside at a computer.

Body Combat this evening.

Pens hockey tonite.

On a daily, weekly, monthly basis I spend more time doing things I don't like or don't want to do and at 48 yoa I believe it's starting to have an effect on my disposition. (sarcasm)

A fair comparison of the Captain America Hail Hydra utterance to explain why people reacted the way they did would be if at the end of a book Black Panther said Hail KKK.

It's really hard for me to enjoy this current generation of Marvel and DC fanfic, that's all it is. The true creation is occurring on creator owned products for other companies.

Pens lost, series moves back to San Jose. I fear the Pens are showing they are going to lose the series.

Yesterday was a bad head day.

2016 155

Wednesday, no workout. It's funny but sad at the same time that I spend so much time thinking about whether or not I will be working out on a given day.

Comic book day.

Nice healthy dinner provided by Chef Teri tonite.

Popcorn and Lucha Underground, yummy together.

2016 154

I had a revelation in the shower this morning.

Life is not really a journey. Rather it is the near endless treading of a single path that ultimately gets etched so deeply into the rock of eternity that when you have the chance to change you path you have nowhere to go and so must continue the walk or just quit walking. Yeah happy morning to you too.

Body Combat was no fun. It's proving harder to get back into a routine after being off than starting the shit to begin with.

So You Think You Can Dance and Preacher caught up on.

Sleep.

2016 153

Monday.

Starting, late, to pick up birthdays presents for Chef Teri. She has been lacking in hinting since Christmas, I have far fewer possibilities than in previous years. Ordering needs to be done over the next couple weeks or so to insure delivery in time.

Try to figure out what to collect next during con visits is not going well. Not sure, needs to be something present...X_men maybe?

Working out was not fun.

Nice switch up to a more homey style dinner tonite by Chef Teri.

Pens win and are 1 win away from their 4th Stanley Cup.

2016 152

Slept in today to hopefully make up for the soul drain driving in the monsoons were yesterday.

Gonna start in on our new comics from Tricon yesterday.

Caught up on Lip Sync Battle, Orphan Black, Outlander, Outcast and Cleverman.

2016 151

Up way to early this morning but it's ok because we are prepping for a day out.

Easy trip to Huntington, much faster than we planned. Hmmm wonder how that happens.

Smooth entry into con, Tricon year 5 that is.

We worked our way halfway through and decided to drop stuff off on the car and then grab some lunch at perhaps our new favorite Huntington spot. Bodega. Walking back to the convention we were going to stop by an Oriental Rug store but instead became side tracked by a bakery offering sweets. The sweets won.

Finished up the second half of the convention. Overall we grabbed 8-10 total prints, a handful of Thorbooks and a boat load of ultra small press comics and trades. I'll probably read those and drop a most on Miscatonical Musing about my thoughts.

Dinner was an absolute bust. The food wasn't bad just entirely uninspiring. Dessert on the other had, milkshakes from the Midway Drive In rocked the house.

Mutha Ficking! Typhoon fucking season several times on the drive home. Sumbitch it sucked!

Home in time to watch the Pens not win their game but sleep won out before a game resolution.

2016 150

Friday.

Physical therapy today. Only two more sessions left afterwards.

It's interesting listening to pro-fem/feminists talk about characters they love as their level of uber biased nuthuggery is as high or higher than only amount exhibited by fanboys whom are relentlessly made fun of by the afore mention politicos. Of course if one were to point that out you instantly are attacked as part of the overall problem. Disagreement equals hate in our horridly skewed sociology of today.

2016 149

Trying to get Partin to make available all the shows he's done.

Working out exactly what books to read to keep myself entertained but also make the podcast interesting for folks, LoO. I think the golden ages tales are more popular than the others.

I really want to read the DC Rebirth books this weekend. Maybe that will start an interest in DC books for me. Working on Adventure/Action LoSH stories now.

I'm really getting bored with non WASP cis-het males all bitching about some thing or another. It seems every fuckin human sociological descriptor is downtrodden and pissed about something. Everybody is bitchin, including me! Boring. One drowns out the next and so I pay attention to none.

Chef Teri outdid herself tonite with a new spicy soup recipe.

American Ninja Warrior season 8 and an episode of Ancient Aliens to finish up the day's sensory input.

2016 148

Comic book day.

No gym.

Decided to put 4 podcasts on hiatus today. I hope that will help me keep up with the other three. Two with Chef Teri and a solo. We'll see producing the shows really takes the thuse outta me.

Kinda feels good to not have to worry about the above podcasts for a while.

So tired of pussies trying to explain how hard it is for them to read manga. It's not fuckin rocket science. Right to left, top to bottom. I would put more stock in someone not liking the story than the mechanics.

No DC Reborth 1 is not new reader friendly. Fuck new readers let them catch up like we all had to at some point. It was intended to smooth things over with the older readers that have been continuity fucked by DC. That was the whole damn point to acknowledge the entire legacy. I'm so tired of here people bitch and whine about how hard it is for a new reader to start somewhere. We all were new readers at some point. Some of us just had more gumption to learn what we did not know, which is hella easier than it once was, than the average fucking pussy that wants everything handed to them today. Quit your bitchin and jump in or don't but quit tryin to represent the damn fence because that is the least defensible position you could ever take.

I think I have fallen into a trap of doing what I think I should be doing on the podcasts rather than doing what I enjoy doing. I need to put a little tie into figuring out how to make it fun again.

So You Think You Can Dance and Orphan Black first, now Pens Sharks Stanley Cup finals game 2.
