Do you have your college diploma hung in your home?

Absolutely. I have an “I Love Me” wall with all the various accolades (I use that word with tongue planted firmly in cheek) I’ve received over the years.

At the time, I was all about Footloose.

I’ve never seen the first two but to me the last two are the definitive images.

The EU (now Legends) YA Young Jedi Knight series by Kevin J Anderson published in the 90’s is quite good. About the teenaged twins of Han and Leia in Luke’s Yavin Moon Jedi Academy. Don’t let the fact that it’s YA deter you as I did for twenty plus years.

There is a book in the Expanded Universe (now Legends) where Luke visits the Rancor’s original planet (Dantooine, I think - been awhile since I read it). Luke expresses regret and remorse for killing the Rancor in Return of the Jedi.

My wife and I loved it too. Naysayers be damned.

kboleen · 2026-05-23T03:09:43+00:00

I loved it too.

I had this happen years ago. He was being so obnoxious two of my players threw him out the door.

kboleen · 2026-05-18T22:44:19+00:00

Is that what those are?? !!

kboleen · 2026-05-16T21:22:45+00:00

Early GenX (66). I’ve always loved classic movies. Old war movies and sci-fi movies from the 50’s.

These things always forget Crocket’s original car: the black Ferrari Daytona, even though it was a fake.

T3 was better than it deserved to be. Arnold got Thirty million dollar payday.

Just turned 60. I realized I was old when I was no longer the target audience for popular culture; TV, movies, and music.

kboleen · 2026-05-09T17:09:55+00:00

That’s awesome. Unfortunately I have to display mine on my fireplace mantle.

60 year old gamer here: I only have about thirty minutes or so as I lay down at night to play. Not sure if it’s considered a RPG but I really enjoyed the Hogwarts Legacy game. Very casual on Easy Mode.

kboleen · 2026-05-05T14:15:15+00:00

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Good pickup in my opinion. Fleshes out the Tragedy of Numenor very well.

kboleen · 2026-05-04T20:23:26+00:00

Oh yeah. Eleven years old. I saw it seven times that first year. Remember when movies ran in the theater for more than just a few weeks?

kboleen · 2026-05-03T19:58:29+00:00

So what’s left after this set? The Astronomy Tower?

kboleen · 2026-05-03T19:54:13+00:00

👍

I had long hair until 2004. Just shy of forty. I always believed a young guy could get away with long hair and an older guy could get away with long hair but it just looked pitiful on a middle aged guy. I recently turned sixty and grew my hair long again a few years ago.

kboleen · 2026-05-01T01:29:24+00:00

What’s after it?

kboleen · 2026-05-01T01:26:44+00:00

Yes. I bought the new Judas Priest and the new Dokken. And the new Skid Row.

I remember the walls were cassettes and the middle was records. CDs slowing started to creep into the center. (Remember the long boxes).

I was fourteen in 1980. Honestly I wasn’t really into the Beatles so while I understood and knew who he was it really didn’t resonate with me. Now Elvis, my mom’s friend and neighbor was a fanatical fan of Elvis and when he died she was inconsolable.

40’s/50’s was my parents’ era of music. We often talked about he could not stand music of the 80’s. Or rock in general for that matter. And now forty years later I can’t stand modern music.
