New Comic Book Day – I Cracked My Vlogging Phone!

Sweet Kids at Dinner
Photo-A-Day #4287

Last night when I came home from filming SteamDads and Built from Bricks I was putting something into the Recycling and had too many things in my hand, the phone slipped out and smashed to the ground. Now it has a shattered glass but it still can be used. Brian and I chatted later on and he suggested that I put masking tape on it. Good idea. At least I can still film on it. I just didn’t use it today to illustrate that it was broken.

I had an eye appointment today so I had to get drops and that mean feeling messed up all day long. But no time to sleep. I was running all around. Making sure that my Big Damn Kid video for today was ready to publish and last night’s videos had rendered. Then I recorded tomorrow’s video at my local comic book store, Wild Time Comics. I completely forgot to mention where I was while filming. DOH!

I found a notice from Marvel Collector Corps that the Smuggler’s Bounty box was a Christmas gift for loyal customers. That was in my spam folder so, whoops, I guess my post from yesterday had me all kerfuffled.

I got a few new comics at Wild Time Comics and it will be a while until I actually get to read them. For now I’m doing the individual reviews one day at a time. Some days one ahead just because of my work schedule.

I took the kids out for dinner tonight. We walk into the restaurant and Andrew says to the hostess, “I like your hair!” She was so tickled. Then the server that sat us also got a compliment from Andrew. I have no idea where this came from. He’s such a little sweetheart and charmer. He loves to make people smile.

Didn’t I Unbox this Already?

Recording SteamDads with Brian
Photo-A-Day #4286

I received a box from Smuggler’s Bounty and it was the Jabba’s Palace Box. I unboxed it with a bunch of other things in a major unboxing video back in July. It did not have the Boba Fett Plush that was in this box. I checked on the tracking number and couldn’t figure out why I ended up with it again. I’m supposed to get a couple of Smuggler’s Bounty Boxes soon, one for being at Boss Level and the other is the Hoth Box.

So instead of re-unboxing the Box I’ll point you toward the previous video. You can click the link above to see it.

Since I wasn’t going to unbox that a second time I showed some items that I found on Target Clearance including some Vs Rip Spin Warriors. I found Leonardo and Michelangelo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as well as Spider-Man. I’m going to look for the battle set and Superman and Batman, too. I also from a couple of Rescue Bot items on clearance as well. Each thing was less than $1.50.

I got a great deal on the Skylanders Imaginators Starter pack for PS4 with Crash Bandicoot and Doctor Neo Cortex. The whole thing cost me less than it would to get their two pack and I also got Golden Queen and King Pen. I already had their Dark Edition figures.

Tonight I shot some video while filming a couple of episodes for shows that I do with my friend Brian. We now shoot SteamDads – http://www.steamdads.com and Brian’s show Built from Bricks. You will have to watch to see what we built.

I can’t believe that I filmed four shows today. My two shows and the two shows that I collaborate on. A busy day for YouTube, just from me.

Oh and when I got home from Brian’s I dropped my secondary phone. It still works but the screen is wicked cracked. I now have packing tape on it.
