I know it has been a long time since I have posted. Personal issues have gotten in the way. BatMom and I are divorcing, which brings its own set of parenting challenges, but it did, inadvertently lead to tonight’s experience. I have been reading Lana and Lois Charlotte’s Web off and on for several months [...]

I know this is a parenting blog. And I know that it ISN’T a Star Wars blog, but I can’t help but post this conversation between a friend and I over IM. This actually happened. I know that at least most of this is legitimate, but I think she started playing up her end toward [...]

I saw the Justice League: New Frontier and Superman: Doomsday animated movies from DC. While I really enjoyed them, they weren’t for kids under, about 10 or so, or at least, not for mine. And it looks like the new one won’t be either. However, Green Lantern: First Flight DOES look more than appropriate for [...]

I’ll be updating the post throughout the day, and please add others you find in the comments or, if you’re a writer here, feel free to edit the post yourself. Big Players Google can always be relied on to come up with a good one. This year has a full running theme. Google created CADIE, [...]

Oh the joys of raising geeklings! I am a huge fan of DC Comics. Unfortunately, their mainline books are a tad too grown up for my geeklings yet (see my upcoming posts on the Johnny DC line). However, DC and Warner Brothers are making fare more targeted at kids my girls’ ages. They have become [...]

A real prize is the comment sections accompanying every snarky headline. For the most part, it is populated by people who see the inanity inherent in [...]

Since the blog lists the posts in reverse chronological order, and the whole thread is best served by being read in reverse reverse chronological order, I thought I’d round up all the posts and make it more easily navigable for your benefit. (All links should open in a new window or tab). It was all [...]

I must say, seeing the prequels actually adds more pathos to Luke’s conversations with Obi-Wan about Anakin and with Vader in the hallway about the conflict within him. “It is too late for me, my son” rings more emotionally true than before. It’s a TRAP!!! Are “There’s too many of them” dude’s goggles made out [...]

Great line I didn’t remember: Han: “I think my eyesight is getting better. Instead of a big dark blur, I see a big light blur.” Luke: “There’s nothing to see. I used to live here, you know.” Han: “You’re going to die here, you know. Convenient.” I hope I don’t have a Rancor Beast under [...]

Return of the Jedi has begun and fatigue has set in. Lois has decided to play on PBS Kids and Lana is waiting her turn for it while listening to the movie and looking at the art supplies. Still watching though. Lois fears the Emperor too, so that adds to her trepidation in watching the [...]
