I very much love the Julie Taymor film Across The Universe. I think it did a remarkable job of incorporating and weaving Beatles’ songs into the fabric of the story, which more or less come from the lyrics. Many of the song renditions are excellent, and Jim Sturgess’ vocals hit me in the feels on…
Where I’ve been?
While I did some of my morning greetings on some of my socials, I haven’t really been online much since I have not been in The Studio of Loveâ„¢ for almost 3 weeks. I had my hip replaced January 14 and have been dealing with post-surgery recovery fun. Quite frankly, it was the best possible…
Now this is kind of cool.
He also got me a glass Blinky (Three-eyed fish) suncatcher from The Simpsons. Funny to think Blinky is 37-years-old now! This’ll go in the kitchen window once I get a suction cup hook.
So much for that.
So I had thought my other-half had agreed that we’d not waste money on Christmas 2025 so that we could spend that on finally getting a new couch and chair after I recover from surgery. This morning, I walked into my office and sitting on my desk was a note “Merry Whatever” and under it…
Volume 5!
A seller finally had the English Volume 5 on Amazon and at $10 so I snagged it. I now have all 6 released volumes! I believe Vol 7 will be released in April if I remember correctly.
Affinity Studio test!
So if you’ve followed me for any length of time you know my general hate these decades for the once great company Adobe.

Surgery Prep!

💥 Yay! (I guess.) 💥
So I’ve been catching up with Ye Olde Tubes of You and watched Frankie Fey‘s “The Freakiest Internet Art Iceberg Explained [Part 1]” this morning. She covered a lot of interweb meme history that even I was not aware of given that my net spaces don’t always cross over with other more bizarre areas in…
💥 I can dream, can’t I? 💥
Since I consider myself something of a Gentlemen Scholar with both broad and deep interests in a variety of areas of science and other areas spanning the breadth of human experience, I would very much like to see a show, or at minimum an special episode, bringing Professor Lando together with Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson…
