February 25th, 2015669 This past Sunday I watched the Academy Awards for the first time in years. I’m a huge movie buff, but the last few years it’s just been tough for me to keep up with anything other than comic book movies that I needed to watch for podcast reviews. This year, I made a concerted effort to venture out to the cinema to see a few films...
December 28th, 2014770 Christmas has passed and we are heading ever so quickly to the end of 2014. How fast time has flown! Hopefully everyone has had an enjoyable Christmas season. It's hard to believe that in a few days we will enter 2015, a year that has been long anticipated by fanboys and fangirls everywhere. There is so much to look forward to, but...
December 25th, 2014746 Anyone who knows me knows that the holidays are my favorite time of year. In addition to being known as Admiral 80’s, there are those who refer to me as Captain Christmas because of my love for the season. When I was in college, I had a bright red blazer that I wore every day from the day after Thanksgiving til Dec. 26th, and when I...
When this blog goes live, it will be 2 days before Thanksgiving, and I’m writing it on Life Day, November 17th. All of which seems to fit my theme: Thanks. As always, I have a story for you, it’s not specifically Star Wars-centric, so I appreciate your indulgence. My parents were both in ill health as I grew up. My father had...
October 25th, 2014651 Soooooo….now we have a couple of episodes of Rebels on public display, my excitement has not dimmed one bit. In fact, I’m even MORE excited about it now than I was before the premier. We seem to have been given an accurate representation of what the show will be from all the promos we were given prior to the show’s debut. The...

Well, don't fret - we've got you covered! Cory appeared on the September 30th show, and discussion revolved around the state of geek...Star Wars News & Info
Another month, another visit inside the mind of a simple man just trying to make his way in the universe. Did Jango Fett REALLY think anyone was gonna buy that line? For that matter, did George Lucas? Sigh. I will NOT go on a tangent about the dialogue in the prequels. I WILL not go on a tangent about the dialogue in the prequels....Blog Posts
So, you know how this blog is normally about my collecting misadventures, full of funny anecdotes and witty commentary on the foibles of conspicuous consumption (not to mention a liberal dose of humility and five-dollar words)? Well, prepare to be disappointed. This time out, I have some actual thinking to present. You can thank Joe...Blog Posts
Anticipation. It’s not just a Carly Simon song. Did I really just start off a blog with a Carly Simon reference? I don’t even LIKE Carly Simon, apart from “Yer So Vain” and that James Bond song she did. Only 4 sentences in and I’m already off on a rabbit trail. Sigh. Where was I? Oh yeah! Anticipation. It’s not just...
