Here comes the rain again! Periodic showers are set for my Sunday.

The Monkey King... A Hero to Save Us All. Finally... the finale of the first season. Davari... patooey! But the adventures continue.

Spotty rain chances remain through the day. But what an unexpected yet absolute pleasure that we get sun breaks and blue sky!

Jonathan Capehart sharing his thoughts on Kamala Harris' vice presidency ahead of next year's election: When Biden says, Let’s finish the job, that’s as much a clarion call to the nation as it is a statement of confidence in Harris to help him do it. Thank you, Jonathan.

Justice is lost. Justice is raped. Justice is gone. My new t-shirt: Metallica ...And Justice for All.

vrijdag 28 april 2023 Watch the 1997 American science fiction action film Starship Troopers. Infantryman Johnny Rico is mistakenly pronounced KIA after the Disaster on Klendathu. Dizzy Flores and Ace Levy visit him while he's in the healing tank.

During the battle on Planet P, Johnny get covered with goo from a Tanker Bug. Rasczak: Come on you apes! You want to live forever?

Pause my Sci-Fi Friday to watch Stephanie Miller. Angelo Carusone, President and CEO of Media Matters for America, talks about the behind-the-scenes action surrounding the Tucker Carlson firing.

The Glass Hand: Stay alive. Above all, stay alive. Destiny is in your whole hand. One of my favorite Outer Limits episodes - Demon with a Glass Hand. Trent (Robert Culp) is a man with no memory of his life before the previous ten days. His left hand has been replaced by an advanced computer shaped like his missing hand and protected by some transparent material. Written by Harlan Ellison.

Next: Killers from Space (colorized). Atomic scientist Peter Graves is captured by aliens determined to conquer the Earth with mutant monsters and insects. THOSE EYES!!!

The bug-eyed aliens from Astron Delta took his heart out. Now he is their spy. How bizarre! The doctor examines Peter.

Everything gets a little soaking, but the rain moves into Ontario.

Please, Rick! Invite me to your party? Rick: H-have you -- have you met my buddy Scropon? Whoa! Ricksy Business is a sci-fi blast!

donderdag 27 april 2023 It's the one thing. You are my thing. Play INXS - The One Thing. Released in July 1982. Still sounds amazing!

We all want to change the world. It's Throwback Thursday! After a 2-hour bike ride, I turn on Hal Sparks. Special report from Philip Ittner about the Ukrainians. What is Yevgeny Prigozhin - Russian oligarch and Putin's close friend - saying now? Prigozhin denies suspending artillery fire in Bakhmut. Lots of news from Ukraine Today.

This gives me goose bumps, people! Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! South Korea’s Yoon wows guests with rendition of ‘American Pie’ at White House state dinner. Watch MST3K: The Mole People. The Cold Opener is one of my favorites. Crow claims he's a space child because he has replaced his normal inanimate eyes with glowing eyeballs. His Supreme Leader orders him to enslave Mike, Tom and Gypsy. Of course, crow can't get his act together. So, they remain un-enslaved.

woensdag 26 april 2023 Dream about being at Sakura-Con - Seattle's art and anime convention. It's pure joy to dream about these people dressed up as their favorite characters. Wish to be there for real.

Washington is now the 10th state in the US to ban selling assault weapons. I'm grateful to watch Gov. Jay Inslee sign HB 1240 into law. Thank you, Governor! This action should be an inspiration to other statehouses and governors. This law will save lives. Nice meandering bike ride around the city. First stop is at the Harrison Cultural Community Centre where a friendly face greets me.

Next stop: The Black River Landing to say hi to the seagulls. Some friendly visitors enjoying the view say hello to me as well.

Let's be nice to inanimate objects as well. How are you, Mr. Rock? This is supposedly the Rockin' on the River rock.

Plentiful sunshine. Thank you, Weather Gods, for this beautiful day! High 49°F. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph. Nice of the wind to blow me back home. Thanks, Allen, for reporting on the State of the Galaxy 9 BBY. You have become one of my favorite individuals on YouTube, sir. More adventures of Cal Kestis! YES!!

dinsdag 25 april 2023 Frank Waln is a Sicangu Lakota musician from the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota. A healing song to start the day. TUCKER FIRED FROM FOX NEWS!!! It's Tuckerpalooza! Rachel, The Daily Show and Stephanie Miller are all talking about this... thing.

Huffpost: Tucker Carlson Brought TV Racism Into The 21st Century

Forget about Tuckums. I'd rather watch MST3K: Godzilla vs. Megalon. The Japanese monsters in an epic battle! Hiroshi Jinkawa: Look, you're sure you want to go? Could be damned dangerous!

maandag 24 april 2023

maandag 24 april 2023 Midnight movie - MST3K: Reptilicus. Ardy is a worker at the Moon 13 research base who is responsible for sending the movie to Jonah and the Bots. He is located in Moon 14, which is a level below Moon 13. Sounds of a toilet flushing.

Money money money money, money... MONDAY! For The Love of Money by the American R&B group The O'Jays from Canton, Ohio. Chilly weather for Ohio with scattered rain and sleet. Maybe the sun will peek through later today.

Gov. DeSantis: I'm not a candidate, so we'll see if and when that changes. He kinda short-circuited there. 🤪 He's in Japan and was asked about the polls showing him falling behind Trump. HuffPost: Ron DeSantis' Goofy Expression When Asked About Trailing Trump In Polls Is Everything.

Yesterday, Jake and Josh Kiszka of Greta Van Fleet turned 27 yo. 🎉

zondag 23 april 2023 Sunrise Lorain: 6:38 AM. Grab a cup of hot tea. Waking up to a fairly chilly morning.

Sci-fi Sunday morning. The persistence of Man's curiosity led him into new worlds. Without conquering his own, he invaded the sub-world of the microscope, and the outer-world of space. It is said turnabout is fair play… but is it? Watch The Outer Limits: The Probe.

Netflix still (?) has the 2017 science fiction action adventure film - Time Trap. The interior of a certain cave system is a time trap... existing outside of the space/time continuum from the rest of the Earth. It is populated by Neanderthals and Conquistadors and cowboys and (basically: anyone who has ever entered the cave), where a mere moment is the equivalent of years outside. Watch out, Taylor!

Wet from a little rain on my trip to Meijer. Oh, well. C'est la vie. I 💙 🌧. Memories of Seattle flow through my mind. Back home to dry off and watch Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. The Quantum Realm is awesome, crazy and wonderful! For some terror and also comic relief... MODOK is back. Perfect!

zaterdag 22 april 2023

zaterdag 22 april 2023 Watch MST3K for Insomniacs. All five Gamera (the flying turtle) episodes... back to back to back. Thankfully, Gamera vs Barugon puts me to sleep. 😴

Segment Four: Joel talks about going to the Drive-In, identifies the "famous" faces in the movie and goes off the rails again.

Cool temps for our Earth Day 🌎! High will only reach into the mid-50s. Rainy weather will be around this morning. Spotty light rain showers will be around the rest of the day.

Laughing at this High School Musical spoof with Zac Efron (14 years ago) on Saturday Night Live. Gotta laugh on this gloomy day. Troy: And from what I can tell, this is America's only singing high school! Surprise appearance from Walt Disney! 🤣

Got some Daiya Key Lime Cheezecake at Meijer. Very yummy! 😋

vrijdag 21 april 2023

vrijdag 21 april 2023 The Enterprise-D arrives just in time. Jupiter sees you with its big red eye! Watch Picard: The Last Generation.

I’d love to see Ed Speleers in a Star Trek spinoff series. Did you see the end credits teaser? Wow! What a teaser!! Seven, Raffi... and Jack (as counselor)! On the Enterprise G!

Sci-fi Friday! Back to watching Revolution. I need courage to watch this series. First, you think you are safe and happy, but all is ripped away in seconds. Danny's death is like hopelessness incarnate. Drilled through by so many vicious bullets.

In a desperate world without electricity, people will kill for a pendant. My ancestry is Amish. Let us, please, peacefully progress into the future.

Wearing my Starbird shirt, also known as the Phoenix in Star Wars lore. It's the insignia of the Alliance to Restore the Republic.

donderdag 20 april 2023 Good morning SpaceX Starship. Are you launching today? Liftoff is set for 9:28 a.m. EDT from the company's Starbase facility near Boca Chica Village in South Texas.

Morning movie - MST3K: Daddy-O. Our hero - Phil - goes undercover at the bad guys’ nightclub (AKA Daddy-O) to find out who really caused his best friend’s tragic death (played by Bob Banas). Want some? Don't know why this cracks me up!?! It's so off-the-wall! 🤣 Starship - The most powerful rocket ever built by humans was launch tested today by Elon Musk SpaceX team. It blewed up! Never mistake trial for failure. In Boca Chica, they say it’s not an explosion, it’s just rapid unscheduled disassembly. Now, here's a real starship... Hello, 4/20. Allen, whatever condition you're experiencing, we love you. The Darksaber Was Always the PROBLEM.
