In the most recent Make Mine Music article, we talked about Mickey Mouse and Post Toasties cereal. But of course, Donald Duck would ever let Mickey get all the glory. Here's a peek at the topic of our next article, which will go live on 10/17

My current listen is the audiobook of Future Boy by Michael J Fox about the creation of Back to the Future. The audiobook version has bonus interview content with other stars of the film, which has been super cool.

I didn't buy it. It aired on TV and I recorded it on a VHS. Can't remember how many times I've seen it since

Diving into vol. 1 of Star Trek: Godshock. Really enjoying it so far, and I'm also looking forward to diving into Star Trek: Defiant once I've read this volume.

Currently listening to Brent Spiner’s fictionalized memoir Fan Fiction. The audio version features performances by a lot of the TNG cast, and it’s been a blast to listen to so far.

Devastated to hear of Benjamin Satterly’s passing (aka Pac in AEW and Neville in WWE). He was one of our family’s favorite wrestlers and we were fortunate enough to see him perform in Dallas. Thoughts are with all who knew and loved him.

Man, I'm enjoying this game. I could just run around this neighborhood with the Peanuts gang.

Currently playing "Snoopy & The Great Mystery Club." As you might imagine, the difficulty level is not particularly high, but it's so fun and beautiful to look at that it doesn't matter. I love the deluxe edition because of bonuses like the ability to collect classic comic strips.

It's a pity that Disney Adventures stopped publishing. There was something indescribably awesome about getting my copy in the mail. I still have a lot of the copies I got way back in the early 90s.

If you're a fan of b-grade horror and haven't seen Head of the Table...just imagine the type of script you might write after staying awake for 72 straight hours and consuming nothing but Pixie Sticks.

I'm all in on the Blackheart transformation of Lio Rush. The character has been wildly entertaining in every segment he's been involved in. I hope HE sticks around.

I sat down and read Zawa and the Belly of the Beast by @thewoodenking.bsky.social and LOVED it. Zawa's a great character, and impossible not to fall in love with. The artwork pops on every page. If you love comics, you should love this.

I'm doing this all backward, but after thoroughly enjoying @danthat.bsky.social and @timegentleman.bsky.social 's brilliant Lair of the Clockwork God, I find myself now playing Ben There, Dan That!

Catwoman: Lonely City by @cliffchiang.bsky.social is my favorite Catwoman story ever, and one of the best Gotham stories I've ever read. It's a poignant masterpiece.

I'm a big fan of ridiculous mash-ups, i.e., the Scooby Doo Team-Up series with DC or Green Lantern co-starring Colonel Sanders. So, I was pretty dang excited to discover Aliens vs. Avengers. So far, it's been just as fun as I was hoping.

Props to Iowa Western, who played a great game and defeated UCO tonight. This was our son's first year on Varsity, and he and the team made it all the way to the quarter finals of the Nationals competition. My wife and I couldn't be any prouder of him and the rest of the team.

Shaun Jex @makeminemusic.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

Despite a valiant effort, UCO lost to St. Edward's by a final score of 4-2. His first season on varsity and the UCO Bronchos finished 2nd with a final record of 7-2. I couldn't be prouder of the effort he and the team showed this year. I can't wait to see what they do next season.

Shaun Jex @makeminemusic.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

I can't remember the last time I was this tense watching any type of competition, but I'm thrilled to say that UCO is headed to the championship game of the Division V West Playoffs!!!!!!! It took an overtime victory, but they defeated MST 3-2 in the semifinals. Championship next week!!!!

We'll never know exactly how this game would have turned out because Texas Tech was forced to forfeit. BUT that does mean that UCO is headed to the semi-finals of the Division V West Playoffs! Their next game will be on 3/31 against the winner of the University of Houston vs Missouri S&T.

Without question, I think, one of the loveliest views in all of Walt Disney World. Particularly after a bit of rain.

This is another fun entry in TokyoPop's line of Disney manga. Miriya and Marie is an explosion of kawaii, telling the story of a young girl who discovers she has magical powers and begins training to become a witch.

Despite writing a book on Disney video games, I'm still discovering titles I wasn't aware of. For instance, after reading the first volume of TokyoPop's Disney Magical Dance manga, I learned it was based on the arcade game Disney Magical Dance on Dream Stage. Anyone out there play this one?
