Ideas

The other Star Wars films I’d like to see:

  • Jawas: The Movie – like Minions, but with Jawas
  • Boba Fett: heist film, possibly a buddy film with Han Solo or Lando Calrissian
  • Ezra/Kanan: show us their fate after Rebels goes off the air
  • Cheers-like movie at either Anchorhead or Mos Eisley cantina
  • Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes: A Hard Day’s Night or Help!, Star Wars style
  • The Battle of Taanab: Google it
  • Ord Mantel: what bounty hunter was that, Han?

The Star Wars films I don’t want to see:

  • Kenobi
  • Yoda
  • Lando
  • Chewbacca/Wookies
  • Sand People

Solo Film

10-year old me wanted a Han Solo film.

16-year old me wanted a Han Solo film.

32-year old me wanted a Han Solo film.

45-year old me wanted a Han Solo film.

50-year old me?

Still wants a Han Solo film.

Blogging in Bed: Randomness 

I’m about to nod off, because I’m too tired to watch Kong: Skull Island right now.

— 

I still watch baseball, but it becomes painful to watch when your team is bad.

People are making such a big deal about Godzilla fighting Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidrah in his next  movie, LIKE THAT’S NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE.

Too many games to play.

I seem to be adjusting to the progressives well enough.

For the Emperor!

The 8th Edition of Warhammer 40K came out today, and while I do have hard copies preordered and being shipped to me by the end of the coming week, I decided to go with digital copies as well, mainly so I don’t have to lug the books everywhere if I wanted to read them.

8th Edition Rulebook

From what I’ve read so far, and from after action reports online, the game plays much faster than before, with very streamlined rules.

I’m looking forward to playing, whenever that will be.

Miniatures

Incoming!

Miniatures set for B-17 Flying Fortress Leader

According to the description, the set comes with:

3x B-17; 3x B-24; 1x B-26; 1x B-25; 1x P-51; 1x P-38; 1x P-47; 1x P-80; 1x Spitfire; 3x Bf-109; 2x FW-190; 1x Bf-110; 1x Bf-410; 1x Me-262

I’ll probably paint some if not all of them, at the very least the B-17s.

Parade and Stuff

I only got to watch part of the first hour of the Warriors’ parade.

It was cool to see that one truck where Barry Bonds, Dance Cam Mom, and Toaster Guy were riding in the back.

I saw a few clips of the celebration at the end.

And I found my KD MVP shirt.

comiXology Storage Mitigation

One issue I decided take care of with the new iPad mini 4 was to move all trade paperbacks (including those from amazon/Kindle) and non-continuing comic series to the iPad, while keeping all ongoing series on my Galaxy Tab 10.5.

I almost ran out of space on the iPad.  Yikes.

Hell Froze Over

Back in 2010, I said I would never buy an iPad.

Last Friday, I picked up an iPad Mini 4.

Which isn’t the same thing as a full sized iPad.

So there.

The reason I picked this up was because my iPod appears to be dying, and when I looked for a replacement with more storage, the 128 GB iPod was the same price as a 128 GB iPad Mini 4.

So I figured, what the heck.

One cool thing it allows over my Samsung tablet is the ability to customize the MLB At Bat app icon.

So yeah. Hell hath frozen over.
