I don't get headaches very often, but when I do...

The signature Weird Al song? My head says "Nature Trail to Hell" My heart says "Dare to be stupid" My gut says "Albuquerque" My appendix says "The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota" My spleen says "Christmas at Ground Zero"

I really enjoy looking forward to new Star Trek comics.

Attempting to pivot, this week’s episode of V amps up the soap opera.

Encountered this comic during a family trip to New Bedford. Unfortunately, I did not pick it up at that time because another comic sitting on the newsstand caught my attention. It was an issue of World's Finest featuring the Composite Superman. Sometimes the heart wants what the heart wants.

Read the previous issue during a family vacation, which ended with a cliffhanger (the issue of MTU, not the vacation--or did it?). It would take nearly a decade before I read the exciting conclusion and only when it was reprinted in Marvel Tales.

Looking at the batch of Star Trek action figures...

Holding out hope for a Fred Freiberger action figure.

Received today…

Post a Superman? How about one of my favorite Superman moments in the <redacted> years I've been reading these things?

Nothing quite like feeling your enthusiasm dwindle when you notice a RT-written annual sitting on top of the daily reading queue.

I’m sure adding Godzilla, Rom, and at least the first couple of years of Micronauts to the ongoing Marvel reading project is a good idea.

Random evening walk thought: it’s a shame Dick Van Patten never appeared in a Star Trek.

“So, these six teenagers win World War 3?” the kids ask as they watch Red Dawn.

The kids slow ongoing journey through Patrick Swayze’s filmography made it to Grandview,USA last night (one really liked it, the other did not). Apparently, the next stop is Red Dawn.

Now showing at a February 14, 1986 theater near you!

This week’s Emergency opens with Gage tired of his all terrain vehicle and DeSoto is tired of his sporty car. Chet proposes a trade. Nothing could go wrong.

I’m still trying to figure it out.

Next in the reading queue…

Advising the kid to avoid "Batman: Hush" is just good parenting.

While watching the preview for next week's The Pitt, I really hope Paul McCrane plays the helicopter pilot.

Liver, sardines and grapefruit* *only because it interferes with some medication. I miss grapefruit.

This evening’s thrift store purchases

One of the side effects of my slow Emergency binge watch is deciding to listen to various Bobby Troupe and Julie London albums. Sadly, it does not appear Rudolph Mantooth or Tim Donnelly recorded an album. I'm still uncertain about Kevin Tighe or Robert Fuller.

Scarlet enjoys a treat on her 11th birthday.

Disappointed to learn Spenser: For Hire has left Tubi.

In a very special holiday themed episode of V, Donovan and company deal with orphans and evil clones.

No one hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans.

Not sure if I should be wondering if the blue marks on the snow throughout the Olympics taste like a blue raspberry snowcone.

Catching a moment of Olympic coverage featuring Stanley Tucci dining with some members of the US Women’s hockey team and realizing if I had a similar opportunity all I would do is ask him about Undercover Blues.

Must resist urge to clip and collect …

Advising the kid to avoid Johns’ output is just good parenting.

It's a hell of thing when your kid comes to you and asks for Wolfman-era Teen Titans recommendations...
