Returning to Haunt Idazmi7

Every now and then I check in to see if there’s been any activity of interest on Idazmi7’s YouTube videos – usually there isn’t anything of note, but I saw a post of his the other day that I decided was worthy of further commentary. His comments are in pink, mine in blue: You got […]

TV Show Challenge Day 31

Saying Goodbye to Anton Yelchin

This isn’t going to be a long post. I don’t know enough about Anton Yelchin to write in detail. His life was I fear too short for me to go into detail. I knew him as Chekov in the Star Trek reboot, and also as Kyle Reese in Terminator Salvation. His has been an all-too […]
