An idea that I had this morning that I'm toying with but I'm not sure if I'm going to actually use is that a few years down the road in the InterStellar OverDrive continuity is that Flexia has a fourth child and that Celandine, Revellia and Flexian have another half-sibling.

A couple of today's events reminds me (IIRC) of back in the summer of '97 or 8 when half of the internet was disconnected from the other half when a back-hoe chopped through a cable outside of Vegas.

I was thinking about how phones merged with personals computers but don't really resemble personal computers or phones back then. Then personal computers weren't a whole lot like the IBM 360, DEC PDP, or Univac generations of computers either.

Wondering if the original Muppet Show caught lightning in a bottle? Revivals never clicked quite the same. Original Henson crew were at peak of their form after toiling away for years. Malaise Era people were looking for something novel and fun. Gen Jones and X were the right age to really enjoy it.

I was going through the extras of an Ender printer that was given to a friend that was then given to me. I especially liked the teeny tiny little 1" rubber duck.... :3

I got an insanely great flight on a canard boost glider today. Also a flying wing boost glider flew too well and I lost it. Somebody is probably wonder why they have a little orange toy spaceship in their yard.

Well, today's big news broke, if not killed, quite a few brain cells..... :O

Decals for a model rocket boost glider. It's a canard boost glider with an in-jokey name. Being a Generation Jones child of the '60s-'70s sort of shows through in this, especially the Pony Car era and how it was even sold to us kids who weren't old enough to drive...

Working up sketches for a decal mascot for a boost glider named the Odd Duck. It's called that because it's not like my other A3-A10 sized gliders that I've designed. This is also a bit of a nostalgic throwback to my Timber Ridge magazine days. Too bad that didn't work out.

The finished version of the "Fugly Bugly" and the decal set for the Gammie. It's probably the ugliest thing that I ever drew. And it's so ludicrously ugly that I'm cracking myself up.

Update: Fugly Bugly is fugly... And getting fuglier with each "inked" detail... And it's hilarious....

Work in Progress: a mascot for a decal for a boost glider. Radiation worker in-joke: a gammie is like a zoomie but bigger, slower, less vicious, and possibly dumber....

Yay! I found my birth vertificate!

La Vista hobby shop no longer carries balsa but they also now don't have A10-3t engines. I wish that John Carroll hadn't gone away and is never coming back. He was a practical enough man to follow trends as they got more weeaboo toyetic, but I don't think that he would have let other things suffer.

1/2 I bought a blank stainless school type lunchbox. I'm going to work up some decals during the stir crazy winter to make up an InterStellar OverDrive lunchbox just to see what it would look like. Sort of a daydream out loud over that commercial break that I never could quite catch.

1/3 I wonder how many alpha bitches of both genders would be soooo proud of themselves if they found out that they were picking on an AuDHD case with adopted child rejection trauma?

My retro Centuri Swift clone with NASA decals to go with the retro Flat Cat clone with USAF decals. I just could not get this thing to transition and glide. It just wants to dive.

I was driving up I-29 having an imaginary conversation with Grandpa Skow and came up with this bit of mock philosophy. Then there was me tripping over these forgotten archeological artifacts from a previous life with the case so yellowed with age that it's scary.
