Metroland’s Best of the Capital Region (NY) 2010
One thing I like about living in the Capital Region of NY is the diversity of businesses around. This gets honored in print in a bunch of ways, but one that stands out is Metroland’s Best of edition, where, every year, they showcase a business for a certain category. I’m going to thumb through the print magazine and pick out some highlights/lowlights (i.e. stuff I whole-heartedly agree with or disagree with). Best Comic Book Shop – Aquilonia Comics: I have read comics since I was a kid, and, when I wanted to get back into it in college, I made the mistake of going to a different shop; not a great experience. Back in 2004, while I was in graduateRead More
Announcing the very first 3D giveaway winner…
A Like New copy of the Tenth Anniversary of Reservoir Dogs was up for grabs. All you had to do was comment with responses to three questions and I would choose a winner. Well I have chosen that winner.
derryx.com (beta)
So here’s the soft launch of the all-new derryx.com (thanks to the help and contributions of metalfrog) You’re going to notice things shifting around over the next few days. In fact, if you have any recommendations for advancements I can make to the layout or other improvements to the site, leave me a comment and I will take all recommendations under advisement. Also, if you have me linked on your blog, please update your links, as I will no longer be updating derryx.wordpress.com (http://derryx.com/ is the new URL). Thank you.
Moving on…
So I had some big news lined up for this blog. Turns out, the free wordpress.com site isn’t cutting it for me. I’m getting enough traffic and there’s enough of a buzz going around that I decided to throw down the dinero for my own domain. Once things get put together (which I’m told is a very short process, just need to find a convenient time), I’ll make the big announcement via the various outlets. I’m also saving a big birthday recap blog post for the launch of the new location. It just seems like a fitting way to launch… I want to take this opportunity to thank you, the reader, for all you’ve done to turn “detention” into aRead More

The 2010 Birthday Gift Recap
Because I always have a difficult time remembering what gifts I received, I decided to recap it here. I’m sure there will be a few late comers to the game, but all of the 2010 gifts to date follow a certain theme, movement toward an epic video library. This year, Dom came through with a couple of Blu Ray selections, Robocop and The Departed. Both were movies that I wanted, and, at least in the case of The Departed, are must owns. [If you don’t know, I am collecting 80’s action films on Blu Ray so Robocop is must own for me.] Brian G and Rory came through with a Best Buy gift card that went toward the purchase ofRead More
Motorcyclism
This one goes way back to April 3, 2010. My friend Cute~Ella was celebrating her birthday and decided to make it a multi-faceted event, like only she and I can. We started with an Albany River Rats hockey game at the Times Union Center Arena. Oddly enough it was the final regular season game for the Albany River Rats, which was kind of cool and also kind of unexciting. I do not remember who the opposing team was but the quality of play was pretty shameful, and I’m not saying that as a professional hockey player but as someone who enjoys a good game of hockey if the mood is right. The party moved over to Bombers where Cute~Ella enjoyedRead More
2010 Birthday Wrap Up
For now, I’ll just leave you guys with a few ideas. I don’t really have time to do either the Birthday Part 2 Recap or the Birthday gift recap. Karaoke has come and gone. Biergarten has come and gone. This all means my birthday has come and gone. It’s a bittersweet ending to a great year. Most important of all, I got to spend time with some of the people that I consider friends, and that ain’t bad at all. So what you guys have to look forward to in the next few days: A recap of the Biergarten festivities from 2010 A recap of the birthday gifts received in 2010 A story about motorcyclism Some random IDPT or AYBABTURead More
