  1. V: The Alien Visitors Are Our Friends

    in Television & Movies

    Posted

    My whole family (well, probably not Mom) was into V when it first aired.   

    Funny story, back then we had one of the big satellite dishes, V aired right before everything got scrambled and those big satellites became useless.  

    We found the feed where they were piping it in to the local affiliates and got to watch V before everyone we knew.  

    I dunno, back then it was a big deal. :)

  8. Thrift Store Finds

    I found a really nice game store while visiting Charleston, SC.  "Starlite Gaming".  They had a huge amount of really great stuff for most systems.  Oldest I could see on the floor was NES, so i asked if they had anything older.  They were nice enough to bring out a box of "the good stuff" (to me anyways) and let me paw through it.  So I picked out a few titles...including a boxed Sears Baseball! 

     

    Highly recommended for anyone in the area.  Give them a shot.

    OOh World Campionship Baseball!

    Bushes chicken is WAAAY better than raising canes. Even the tea is better. Also, in and out is better than what a burger.

    You guys got Chicken Express in San Antonio yet?

     

    Really good food, fresh (not frozen chicken), delicious yeast rolls and the BEST sweet tea!   Oh man....hawngry now!

  10. Battlestar Galactica

    If you ever get some time, give the new a chance.  It didn't grab me at first either.  But after a while, it really did.  To the point of eagerly waiting for and watching every episode that came out.  The end does not disappoint either.

     

    The new does have a "Star Trek" connection.  The "feel" of TNG is evident. 

    I guess the campiness is what was missing for me.  The characters weren't nearly as fun as the original.   I saw a little and just didn't get into it, but I could recognize that it was quite well made.   If they would have just called it something different, I might have been on board.

  14. Halloween 2016!

    I haven't dressed up for many years.   This year some friends online are going to get with us and watch Stephen King's Creepshow together.

    I'm also doing low-carb so I wont get to demolish my favorite candies this year.   Some Atkins treats will have to do. :)

  15. Electric Light Orchestra - Telephone Line

    There's several bands from that era that are long overdue. Jouney for one.

     

    And I think Jeff Lynne just got either inducted or nominated. Something. Someone want to clarify that?

    They are nominated!  Journey too, and Yes.   Some good bands on the list this year.   

     

    Kraftwerk deserves a spot, but I doubt they'll get the votes sadly.
