Here’s a little sampling of Silent Night sung by our favorite Wookie – just in time to mix it in your Christmas playlist! Seriously. It’s Chewbacca singing Silent Night. Who knew Chewbacca had such pipes? Merry Christmas, ya’ll!
I was one of those lucky kids whose family went to Disneyland every year or two. Star Tours was (and is) one of my favorites. One of my fondest memories is exiting the ride, through the gift shop (naturally), and drooling over the replica Stormtrooper helmet high up on the shelf. A full sized, real…
I wrote earlier about taking time to enjoy the current season that you are in. Now, I want to dial that in even closer to enjoy certain moments. If people knew the inner workings of my brain, they might be shocked or appalled (“shappaled”?) at how often I take a brain detour to another subject…
Tis the gift buying season. Some folks are easy to buy for. Some not so much. Some are just – impossible. The impossible-types are great candidates for DIY gifts but if you don’t have the time or talent, you can outsource! Last year I wanted to get the fella a gift related to an item…
A new fad has been creeping into my social media lately and I like it. It’s called the Mannequin Challenge. In the videos, the entire group stays perfectly still (like a mannequin) while the camera pans around. The crazier and more creative the scene, the better. At the end of the short video, everyone unfreezes…
“One day can change your life. One day can ruin your life. All life is is three or four big days that change everything.” – Riding in Cars with Boys I remember when everything changed. At seven years old, I woke up one morning and bustled down the stairs. Eager to start the day and…
Look close on the Big Bang Theory show and you’ll spot a giant Rubik’s Cube. A functional (or non-functional depending on your point of view) Rubik’s Cube. Hide yo’ sister. Hide yo’ wife. Hide yo’ tissue box! Amazon has them for sale because they have everything for sale. But I sense a DIY project in my…
I’ve been eyeballing a full original Stormtrooper kit for a while. There are plenty of options out there in this universe and each has their own set of pros and cons: material types, pricing, licensed or fan-made, hero or stunt version, kit or ready-to-wear. After loads of research, pondering, and coffee I decided to pull…
I was telling some friends how I was going to DIY a small wood treasure chest to hold the rings for the wedding. “I’m going to modify it a bit. Add in some foam, doubloons, jewels…” “And it will make noise when you open it, I bet!” “… uh, yeah. That too. Yup.” Lie. I…
A few years ago, my best bud texted me and asked if I was up for an adventure. “Sure,” I simply replied. When she texts about an adventure, I say yes. It’s always in my best interest. “A miracle happened and I got a reservation at Ross Lake Resort. I’ve wanted to go there for…
