Hi, my name is Trey and I’m a stay at home dad. During the day I care for an 18 month old and 3.5 year old. I get called Mr. Mom a couple of times a week and for the most part it doesn’t bother me. “Oh are doing the Mr. Mom today”, the cashier will innocently say. I’ll politely say, no, I do this full time, they’ll feel stupid and we’ll leave. Continue reading I’m OK with being called Mr. Mom- depending on who you are
On April 17 the Despicablimp will be flying around Atlanta. It’s Despicable, it’s a blimp-it’s Despicablimp. If you saw Despicable Me then you’ll immediately recognize the Minions from the movie. Even if you didn’t see the movie you’ve seen the Minions somewhere, they’re cute, yellow and part of pop culture. Continue reading Despicablimp is coming to Atlanta on Wednesday, April 17
The Hunt for Red October is based on a true story. What if there was an even bigger story out there involving submarines; that is 100% true and would’ve altered the course of the world had things not happened? Imagine a super submarine, capable of carrying aircraft and that is a game changer. That is exactly what the Japanese built and had deployed just before WWII ended. Continue reading Operation Storm is vivid, approachable history at its best
Mr. Joe is the true story about Joseph Barnett. Early in the book we learn that he sees the peaceful looking head of his recently deceased grandfather in a mirror; and then the apparition follows him down the stairs. However, this isn’t just about a man that sees ghosts, it’s about his life, background and the struggles that a single dad has. Continue reading Mr. Joe: Tales from a Haunted Life is not spook-tacular
Last summer stinkhorn mushrooms invaded our garden. Stinkhorn mushrooms are phallic shaped mushrooms that smell like rotting flesh. We killed them once, they came back and then, mercifully, winter came and killed everything in the garden. We saw traces of them a couple weeks ago and chose not to write about it. However, something happened that was so stealthy and insidious that it merits another mention. Continue reading Naptime DIY: Return of the Stinkhorn Mushrooms
Why are stay at home parents so exhausted at the end of the day? I read a sarcastic article that said that parents are tired because of all the questions they answer during a given day. I put forth the question of how many questions does a toddler ask by marking down each time our 3.5 year old asked me a question. Just for the sake of making it fun I also wrote down the questions, hilarity ensues. Continue reading How many questions does a toddler ask in one day?
My title sounds like a slam, but I don’t mean for it that way. The Soul of Anime: Collaborative Creativity and Japan’s Media Success Story is a fascinating read about the culture of anime and how it came to flourish in Japan. Thus it may come as no surprise that people who like anime or Japanese culture will love this book. Continue reading The Soul of Anime by Ian Condry is a must read for 2 niche groups
This month is turning into all Joe all the time. What with the movie (a sequel has already been green lit!) and me reading G.I. Joe: Cobra-Oktober Guard I’m all but casting my left hand into a kung fu grip. Oktober Guard is a different kind of Joe graphic novel, which is a great thing, especially after my last experience. Continue reading G.I. Joe: Cobra-Oktober Guard is enjoyable noir Spy
