The Excitement is Building

As we get closer to our upcoming cruise vacation, the excitement is building in our house. This will be Kira's first cruise and plane ride, and it will be Michelle & my first decent cruise. (We went on a really rinky-dink cruise 20 years ago that was part of a vacation package, which is why I don't do vacation packages any more.)

Here's a walk thru of the ship that we'll be on:

Robotech


With all of the talk of the new Robotech comic on my news feeds (which sounds really good, so I might pick it up), I'm reminded of how I missed the show as a kid. I watched Star Blazers and Battle of the Planets whenever I could find them (which I remember being REALLY early on Saturday mornings), but I only caught a couple of Robotech episodes.

As I was pretty much the only one of my friends to watch these shows, I didn't know what I was missing. At least not until middle school when I was invited to play the Robotech RPG from Palladium. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing and, if memory serves, we only played the game a couple of times. Still, it was enough to make me seek out the show in college.

To this day, I haven't made it past the first few Dana Sterling episodes, even though I've watched the Macross Saga (aka Season One) three times through. You can see just how they try and jam multiple anime series together into something resembling a coherent story. Maybe I'll eventually get through the rest of Season Two and see Season Three, but I don't think that will be any time soon.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Through a quirk of timing, today is Valentine's Day, so I thought that we should celebrate with one of the longest relationships that I know of.


Yup, Mickey and Minnie are celebrating 90 years together (having both premiered in Steamboat Willie on November 18, 1928). Here's hoping that your relationships last as long and are as happy.

Intermission

Lots going on this week, so I didn't have time to write a proper post. Consider this an intermission.



More stuff in the coming weeks.
