I'm late to the Cosmic Legions party, but hopefully fashionably so.
Cosmic Legions action figure, painted by yours truly. Please ignore the sloppy weathering on The body, and concentrate on the color-shifting helmet.

Sealab exploded at the end of the first episode!
How will the writers come back from this?!
A fanciful underwater base, home of Sealab 2020, and the parody Sealab 2021, where the base exploded at the end of most episodes.

Someone is, once again, very inconvenienced that I have to go to work. #proofofcat
A dilute tortie cat named Babykins, upset that her bed warmer is getting up and leaving. If you're wondering why I only post photos of her in bed, it's literally the only time she is both close to the camera, and holding still.

The absolute best logo ever, incongruously on Korean cigarettes. A whale, a ships wheel, and a banner that reads "THE SEA HATES A COWARD."

This is where I post from
Kenner Millennium Falcon CD-ROM playset. A large plastic toy that sits on a pc keyboard, looks sort of like the Millennium Falcon cockpit. Buttons on the playset press buttons on the keyboard. It included a very mediocre video game on CD. I cannot overstate what a big deal CD-ROMs were in their day.

Blokees Toy model kits of the virtual singer Hatsune Miku and the Transformer Soundwave, decorated to match. AND Tape-buddy-robot-jaguar-Ravage. If any of this made sense, I am sorry.

I really need to hit my local Chinese dive more often, and the antique shop next door.

That's enough interwebs for me today. Goodnight all.
The last dahlias of the season. One bloomed pink and yellow, one bud. I intend to move the raised beds to the front yard once they're done blooming.

I had the temerity to get out of bed, and stop providing warmth for this little goblin. She's off to her cozy closet. #proofofcat
A small light gray cat, offended that I'm going to work. She is at the side of my unmade bed, about to head into the forest shirts in my closet.
