    Chuck acknowledged that the bucket “survival food” was old, with the potential of being bad, but admitting it still had the potential for being good! 🤣
    Con in Pasadena? I had to check, Cali, not TX, tho they have smaller shows at the college, I figured not likely, as Pasadena/Deer Park is in the news again, for all the wrong reasons (again), after an SUV crashed into a LNG pipeline, turning it into a blowtorch.

534 – Compliments To The Cook
Posted on September 18, 2024 by Clint

[EDIT: Dawn is nursing a sprained wrist so we'll be pushing back a week. Hopefully join us for a new page on Oct. 9th]

Hearkening back to the events of page 269!

Meanwhile, this weekend we're bringing Zombie Ranch to the wide-open spaces. Comparatively. The trade volumes will be among our offerings at the annual Pasadena ARTWalk at Booth #32 in the shady lanes of Green Street.

Altered states…

Posted on June 20, 2018 by Clint
I’ve had a habit of singing praises of various movies and video games in this blog based on early impressions, some of which pan out and some of which don’t. Well, who am I to break with habit?   I mean wow. WOW. I’m late to the party on this one (it debuted in its entirety on Netflix back in February) but if you’re any kind of fan of cyberpunk style science fiction or just science fiction world building in general, and you haven’t seen it yet, you should give Altered Carbon a go. The two episodes I’ve watched probably shouldn’t be enough for as strong a recommend as I’m making here, but again. Habit. Just from a writing perspective I’ve been thoroughly impressed with how they’ve handled the exposition and presentation of a world both familiar to and wildly different than our own. It reminds me of how I felt reading Asimov, but turned up to 11 and splashed into fully audio-visual format without losing any of the thought-provoking underpinnings of the philosophical consequences of advancing technology. This being Netflix there’s also no shortage blood, butts, boobs and harsh language to go around, so it might not make for the best family viewing–if for no other reason than being stuck explaining to your kids all the gratuitous gratuities adults take for granted–but again there’s a feeling of deep thoughts beneath that surface sheen and even the sex and violence has angles of approach that are not what you might be used to experiencing. And that’s all I’m really going to say because I knew nothing about this series going into it and I think it was all the better discovering it fresh with no preconceptions of what it could or should be. Okay, one spoiler: Poe is awesome. I leave the rest of the opinions to you.
