For last month’s geeky recipe I made The Scully Burger, based on FBI-agent Dana Scully, from The X-Files.
I think it is only natural to move from The X-Files to Supernatural, just like many of the creative minds behind that show did.
I recently rediscovered one of my favorite musicians, Gavin Dunne, aka Miracle Of Sound.

I usually spend my listening-time on podcasts, but when I am in the mood for music, I like stuff that has lyrics worth paying attention to.
Writing Inspiration #4 was about taking inspiration from video essays, often about analyses of certain works or writers.

They taste good on hamburgers, but they don’t raise the dead.”

Many years ago, I noticed a trend in the quality of the Doctor Who Christmas specials.
From my perspective, they alternate each year between “very good” and “not so good”.
About a year ago, I wrote a script for a Doctor Who comic book where the titular alien time traveler The Doctor from the BBC TV show, meets the music legend David Bowie, and then they battle robots with sick guitar jams!

Here is a list of excellent movies to watch around Christmas.
Like with my Halloween movie list, how I rank them may change based on mood but this is where they landed in the hierarchy this time.
This is the story of how the postal-service broke my stuff, and how an internet-based startup-company made my day.
The summer of last year, I started prodding my girlfriend for information.
You see, I had gotten an idea for the perfect gift for her;

I have been swamped at work this week, so please enjoy this very long funny video.
The Dungeon Master is Chris Perkins and the players are the people behind Robot Chicken.
For this month’s geeky recipe I wanted to make a Fitzsimmons Sandwich (or FitzSandwich), based on Agents of Shield.
But it turns out a few people have already made that recipe.
Given that, and how much trouble my first option for a recipe have been giving me, I decided that this month’s Monthly Geeky Recipe would just have to be someone else’s.

Take it away, Babish!
If you prefer the Fitzsimmons Sandwich recipe written down, Fan Girls Cook will help you out.
If you want to, you can exchange that baguette in her recipe with this
ciabatta recipe.
Have you ever wondered about the Scrooge McDuck origin story?
About how he became the character we know and love today?
Let me fill you in a little!
.
I’m writing this while standing in a line to meet the writer and artist of my all-time favorite comic book series “The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck“.
His name is Keno Don Hugo Rosa, but is known simply as Don Rosa. Despite sounding like a hardened mafia-boss, he is actually a very nice Kentucky gentleman.
A lot of his work featuring the Duck family bases on work done by Carl Barks, who created Scrooge to begin with in 1947. Barks and Rosa created most of the “lore” surrounding Duckburg’s characters between them.
During Don Rosa’s career he created a timeline for Scrooges life, from his birth in 1867 to his death in 1967. (Also of note; Donald Duck is 27 in the first story they share. Feeling old now, I never imagined I would ever be the same age as Donald when I was reading these stories as a kid.)
The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck is a “coming to America”-story, a “rags to riches”-story, an action/adventure comedy, a western, a period drama, and so much more! It even has a (voodoo) zombie! That the story has not yet been adapted as a feature-length animated Disney movie is beyond me.
And the art is amazing! Don Rosa has claimed that he does not think the artwork itself is good, only that
the details are entertaining.
