Welll crap...

So we go out for dinner last night and decide to do a little shopping afterwards. We hit the usual places, Toys R Us, Target, and Walmart. Alastria was wanting to show me the new The Dark Knight Batmobile she found at walmart on he way home from work. We hit the stores in driving order. Toys R Us first. Nothing new there, except for the fact they FINALLY have freakin Wiis in stock. Unfortunately we cannot get one yet as I need to pay off the TV we bought to play it on. lol

On to Target. I stumbled across the new Star Wars Transformer I had been waiting for. Obi Wan's Jedi star fighter with the cool hyper drive ring around the front but I had to put it back. About that time I hear a huge gasp from the other end of the isle. When I look down, Alastria is franticlly grabbing at things... They just happened to stock one case of the new TF:Animated wave 3 deluxe figures. So we got one of each. Jazz, Snarl, Soundwave, and Oilslick. Very cool. Jazz has always been one of my favorite characters and this new toy is just amazing.

Anyway, on to Walmart. Of course... they also have a Wii in stock. Damnit! On to the toy isle. They had one row of the older TF:Animated deluxe figure and while I was browsing through them I am interrupted with yet another gasp followed shortly by a "Holy crap!".
This time I turn to look and she is hauling this huge ass box from the lower shelf. I had actually forgotten about this guy. Yep, Supreme class Optimus Prime. He is almost 2 feet tall with lots of lights and sound.

So now I think the onl TF:Animated toys that have been spotted in the wild that I don't have are the Leader class Megatron and Bulkhead.

Oh and this walmart didn't have that Batmobile that she brought me out to see in stock... Oh well.. maybe next time. ;)

The blog is dead. Long live the blog!

A few months ago I dusted off this blog which I had not touched since 2011. The reason? I was prompted by an article written by Mike Elgan about how famed podcaster and internet host Leo Laporte was dropping social media all together. No Facebook, no Twitter, not even an Instagram. Leo retreated to the safety and security of his own blogs. A world totally under his control. That got me thinking about my terribly limited use of social media (i.e Google+) and why I even bother using it. My engagement on the once flourishing Google+ had all but dried up. I really only communicate regularly with three or four people on the platform these days. All of this lead me to examine the reasons I still bother to post anything to Google+ and the answers were pretty simple. The primary use? To share photos of our travels and grandpuppy with our family. The others? To read the news and to share and converse about things that I like and that matter to me. Then came the announcement that Goo...

The end of an era...

I received an email today from Blogger informing me that as of March 26th they will no longer support FTP blog publishing. My blog has been powered by Blogger since 2004 and FTPed to my hosting service. I really don't know exactly what I plan to do. This site can remain exactly as it is but I will no longer be able to update it via Blogger. For the time being I plan to move this blog over to http://batcaveweb.blogspot.com . Google supports custom domains and such but I'm not really sure I want to continue to use Blogger after this change. I will loose all of my custom sub-pages and a whole lot of customization ability. The same goes for the Istari blog. I will be moving it over to http://istariguild.blogspot.com . I may at some point use the custom domain option to redirect batcaveweb to the Blogger server but I doubt it. I will probably have to start from scratch and move to some custom content system. However, I really don't use my blog all that much these days so...
