I ramble about things.

Post Birthday Post

So I turned a spry 44 this past Friday. Saturday we got a get together with family and friends. Nothing fancy; just a small meal and some cake. And I wanted to do a quick live show after, but I overslept during the day. It’s been something of a recurring issue and I would very much like it to stop.

On the other hand, though, I’m feeling about as well as I have as late. Some growls and aches, but otherwise, no worse for wear. I’ve been keeping up with treatments and medication. I need to schedule an appointment or two. Held it off only because I was on vacation and also because I’m trying to make sure I head into a medical appointment with a low heart rate for once… which is generally a result of low stress.

Sorry for the not so wonderful outlook on life after a birthday has passed. I know I’m supposed to be graceful for having lived this long and counting blessings for the days ahead… but I’m not exactly looking forward to the days ahead for a variety of reasons. And the only things that keep me going are the insignificant things… because they keep me sane.

Anyway… onwards, I suppose.

I don’t know where I was going with any of that… but eh, whatever.

Review #1220 – Faxanadu (NES)

We’re finally here, aren’t we?

This review was actually pretty tough to get through because Faxanadu was the last game I played with Sacha by my side a few days before she finally passed. So, there is an emotional hurdle that needed to be overcome in order to get through this thing, which is why this opens with the “For Sacha” signature that was a thing for most of my 2024 videos. This one is for her… and I still miss her.

WWE Summerslam 2025

Sorry for the week delay on this show, kids… but you know how it is with these WWE PPVs that go fifteen hours… and then on top of that, you double it up. Anyhoo, it’s Summerslam 2025 – at the beginning of August so we can clash in Paris or something at the end of August… or is it Saudi Arabia? I’m not quite sure. All I know is that, unless one of these other “premium” shows boasts a card that’s worth my time, this will probably be my last WWE PPV musings for the year until next year’s Royal Rumble.

Yeah, sorry that I didn’t watch the Money In The Bank event from last month and that I would rather watch a bunch of crappy old WCW PPVs than a generally mid-level modern WWE PLE offering. Even moreso, I’m sorry that I’m not in the least bit interested in this John Cena retirement tour that went off the deep end when Dwayne interjected and then decided that his planet needed him or something. (No, Dwayne didn’t show up on this show… but someone else did; we’ll get to that.)

And yes, I did recycle the Buy One Get One Free banner of Ramblemania 41 for this year’s Summerslam as soon as I heard the announcement that they were going to make it a two-night event months ago. The fact that CM Punk would end up main eventing one of those nights was more of a happy coincidence.

Did I Mention That Superman Was A Good Movie?

I feel the need to mention that.

I also feel the need to mention that I had a good time in the movie theater for the first time in a long time.

Is the humor and quip machine getting tiresome? Sure… seems like every movie has it. Sometimes, however, you can almost forgive that if the more wholesome parts of the film are done well… and I feel that’s the case here.

Maybe I’ll revisit the movie at home whenever I can get the chance to see if it holds up… but so far, I want to hold on to the happy memory of Krypto saving the whole movie… not that it really needed saving.
