The day I stopped collecting Marvel Comics (February 26, 2017)

Do you remember when you stopped collecting comics? I do. The day, February 26, 2017. The History It was coming as I had grown increasingly weary of Marvel’s continuing reboots and simply wanted to finish Dan Slott’s current Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy arc–the first current Marvel title I’ve collected since that late 90’s. Slott,Continue reading “The day I stopped collecting Marvel Comics (February 26, 2017)”

Remembering Al Jarreau (February 13, 2017)

When I first heard the name of Al Jarreau was way back when I was watching the comedy-drama mystery television series called Moonlighting (1985-1989).  I clearly remember saying to myself, “Now that’s an entrance theme!  Who sang it?” Back then, getting that kind of information wasn’t as seamless as it is today.  There wasn’t any musicContinue reading “Remembering Al Jarreau (February 13, 2017)”

Putting together the Lego Movie: Super Secret Police Enforcer (30282-1) polybag set (February 10, 2017)

Put together the last of the Lego Movie polybags that I picked up in Megamall last week: The 40-piece Super Secret Police Enforcer set (30282-1).

Celebrating World Pizza Day 2017 with Yellow Cab Pizza Co. (February 9, 2017)

World Pizza Day 2017 is finally upon us.

Another one bites the dust: Saying goodbye to Nike Forum Greenhills (February 6, 2017)

There is a saying that the “only constant thing in life is change.” And last Friday evening, there was yet another clear reminder of that fact when I caught a glimpse of the covered up windows and doors of Nike Forum. As I don’t go to Greenhills as much as I used to, I wasContinue reading “Another one bites the dust: Saying goodbye to Nike Forum Greenhills (February 6, 2017)”

Putting together the Lego Movie: The Piece of Resistance (30280-1) polybag set (February 6, 2017)

Took a short break from my review to put together one of the Lego Movie polybags that I picked up last week in Megamall: The Piece of Resistance (30280-1). The polybag features Emmet Brickowski, the main protagonist of The LEGO Movie (2014), and several other pieces.
