Another month and another Geek Fuel unveiling. This month was a bit of a mixed bag (yes, I know it is poor metaphor usage) but the things August liked he liked a lot. Starting off with a post for a comic Aliens vs. Vampirella which misses the mark in this household. The other “whiff” was…
Over the years her songs would come on the radio or her videos would cross my view and I found them amusing and enjoyable enough. I never dismissed them, but I also didn’t give them much weight. When my daughter started paying attention to Taylor Swift a couple of years ago I paid more attention…
Another week and another entry that is coming in a little late. This time by only one day. Last week was all about Ciárán ‘s birthday, and this week was (almost) all about him being at Cub Scout day camp which I volunteered at. The week started out hot, so we got Slurpees. Ciárán used…
I was always aware of Queen, I imagine, in the background of my life, but it was 1980’s “Another One Bites The Dust” that brought the band to the forefront of my attention. Later that year the Flash Gordon movie came out. I was a fan of Flash Gordon, having watched the serials, so this…
Yes, I know this is actually Sunday, but there wasn’t a heck of a lot going on last week until Friday. And then things just got… busy. Ciárán celebrated turning 8 on Tuesday. Friday morning we had a family photo shoot over at Manguson Park. Friday afternoon Ciárán had a birthday party, which is…
While we were on vacation in Oregon Ciárán came downstairs one morning. It was early enough that people weren’t really up yet for the day. “Is Xavier down here?” “No, he isn’t. Why?” “He’s not in his bed. I thought he was kidnapped.”
I had previously blogged about Ciárán’s reluctance to go back to a movie theater after having a horrible experience back in 2011. A year and a half ago he tried to overcome his fear and it did not go well. Since then more movies have come and gone and Ciárán has not shown any interest…
Another large batch of pictures to go over for the last week. At the beginning of this period, Friday of last week, the weather was still ridiculously hot. Here is Xavier and Dela enjoying what was at this point a daily Slurpee run. August, Ciaran and myself celebrated our nation’s indipendance by backstabbing each other…
I have mentioned before how we are looking forward to LEGO Dimensions in this house. We are unashamed about wanting to play this game. It looks incredibly fun with its mashhup of different franchises. While we knew Doctor Who was coming in the form of a Level Pack which will include The Doctor, companion K-9,…
After last month’s box, August’s first, had been such a success, I knew the next one wouldn’t be as much of a hit, though he would certainly enjoy it. The question was this month, to what degree would he like the stuff included. This month’s theme seemed to be 90s, starting with the t-shirt. Apparently…
