One Good Thing In the last week or so, I've had several new things that are designed to make it a little easier to have touches of elegance in my everyday life arrive. I consider all of these Good Things, so I'm grouping them into a single post - why not? First, I have irises in gorgeous full…

Main detail painting is done. Pleased over all, though the yellow details on the inner rings turned out brighter than I wanted, but the wash will tone them down & dirty them up. Next up, it's time to work on the ops and reactor subassemblies! #scalemodels #scifimodels #plamo #StarTrek #DS9 #AMT

Game day! There is a conspiracy here somewhere, but where? Or is it a conspiracy wrapped within agitprop buried in a secret. Who knows? I'm playing a cat. Meow, man. Meow. #ttrpgsky #ttrpg #rpg #TriangleAgency #HauntedTableGames

The Essentials – Pleasure Every now and again, I add a post here that centers on something I consider to be an "Essential" in the Splendor journey. (You can search for all of these Essential posts using the search bar, if you'd like to read more.) This post is one of those. You see, I thought it…

This crew, man. Thanks for showing us who we can be if we want to. #CarrollCrater #NASA #ArtemisII #Integrity www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEKN...

Sensor pallets painted! First time using Army Painter Speed Paints, and I really like the effect (though red worked better than the yellow). I'm also really liking the AK 3rd Gen acrylics I'm using for the docking ports. #scalemodels #scifimodels #plamo #StarTrekmodels #DS9 #AMT

Game Day! New Game - Lat's goooo! #ttrpgsky #rpg #TriangleAgency #HauntedTable

"We have sunrise on Integrity." Man, I love this.

One Good Thing I swooped in to Aldi's garden week to grab two raised beds (hopefully more on that this weekend) and treated the Furred Ones to a spring scratch house. Aldi does these several times a year and the spring theme is a definite win - not only does it have cat-head-shaped entryways, but…

Magic – 3 As I continue actively searching for "moments of magic" in my everyday life, I'm learning quite a bit - including that, in some traditions, the start of spring is viewed as the start of the year. I like that. Spring begins with the Vernal Equinox, where day and night are balanced.…

Base color done! Next up, some clear coat, then brush painting some details. Airbrushing this beast has been kind of a pain, so I'm looking forward to some time away from the booth! #plamo #scalemodels #scifimodels #StarTrekmodels #DS9 #StarTrek

Game day! The Black Pharaoh has finally acted directly against us. A battle in a sandstorm during an eclipse. We may be boned. #ttrpgsky #ttrpg #rpgsky #LexArcana #QualityGames

One Good Thing This is my monthly weekend with Dad. Since I took this new position back in June, my schedule has changed - I used to stack my classes in Tuesday/Thursday blocks so I could drive up on Thursday and stay into Monday. That's not the case now, although Friday is a half-day for me, so I…

There's never been a better time to back Hard Wired Island: Second Gig, the next big expansion for our retrofuture cyberpunk TTRPG! (Because the campaign is in its final days, not because a conservative passed away.) (Although—)

One Good Thing I have completed my walk around Paris! For these virtual challenges, you set your own rules, so I counted walking and biking, but not everyday steps. I especially enjoy getting my virtual "postcards" when I reached milestones on the virtual walk. These tell you about sights and…

Game day! We're down one comrade, but he gained valuable information to help us drive back the Black Pharoah. Let's go! #ttrpg #ttrpgsky #rpg #LexArcana #QualityGames

One Good Thing It takes a bit of effort of have a true Day Off. Plenty of times, a day off from work means household chores, family obligations, and other such projects. Fortunately, I have begun to listen to my own tune and I know that I've been doing good work well, but I needed a hard reset. So…

The SPR Grift youtu.be/MLphPoriDfw?...

Yamato Generation here (kinda on the border between that and the Old Timers, because Battle of the Planets), but when the article mentions running home from school to watch Star Blazers? I feel both personally attacked, and vindicated! 🤣

Okay, black basing/finishing surfacer done (two weeks ago, really, but I've been busy). Hope to get started with the base coat this weekend. It goes slow, but it goes. #scalemodels #scifimodels #plamo #StarTrek #StarTrekModels #DS9 #AMT

This is your reminder that there are currently multiple concentration camps in the United States, people are dying in them, and DHS and their private prison company buddies want to build more. #AbolishICE #DismantleDHS #NeverAgain www.propublica.org/article/life...

#HardWiredIsland is a great game - and it's about to get even better. #ttrpgsky #ttrpg #rpg www.kickstarter.com/projects/ett...

Game day! We've contacted the Ma faction and found the pirate's lair, but the key to the dark mystery in Egypt is still eluding us! Let's go! #ttrpg #ttrpgsky #rpg #LexArcana #QualityGames

It's #LetterboxdFriday, so here's my #Last4Watched: Sisu: Road to Revenge Hansan: Rising Dragon Honey Don't! Air Doll #FilmSky #Movies #Letterboxd

So: Abolish ICE Break up DHS And impeach Pam Bondi.

One Good Thing In my circle of friends, I am one of the only ones who not just enjoys, but actively looks forward to, the Super Bowl. (Or the "Superb Owl," as it is also known, thanks to What We Do in the Shadows, which is really a great, very offbeat show, if you haven't seen it yet.) Honestly,…

We've done our research in the forbidden archives of the Library of Alexandria, and now it's time to see if any of our dark knowledge will help us against the machinations of the Black Pharaoh. #ttrpg #ttrpgsky #rpg #LexArcana #QualityGames

Game day! We've captured the madman/dark prophet of the Black Pharoah and traced the source of the madness effecting Alexandria. Now we are one step closer to confronting Nephren-Ka. Yay? #ttrpg #rpg #ttrpgsky #rpgsky #LexArcana #QualityGames

#LastFourWatched One Battle After Another Spione Wake Up Dead Man Girl With Hyacinths #FilmFriday #Letterboxd #Filmsky #Movies

Every video from every angle shows there are only 4 lights.

After I got a coat of Mr Surfacer 1000 down, I had to take a break from DS9 for a couple of weeks - it was becoming more chore than fun. Back at it today laying down black Mr. Finishing Surfacer 1500 as last primer/undercoat. #scalemodels #scifimodels #plamo #StarTrekmodels #DS9 #AMT

Okay. All devices, power bricks, solar-chargable generator, cordless coffee grinder charged. Dual fuel generator tested and ready with 40-odd pounds of liquid propane on hand, and groceries, snacks, and cake laid in. We're as ready as we can be!

Lex Arcana: Susurros Alienorum Ep.23 "The Eyes That Sing Too Much" www.twitch.tv/corbinion

Game night! We approach the end of our season, as a beloved crew member is mysteriously resurrected scores of light years from where she was committed to the stars. #ttrpg #ttrpgsky #rpg #StarTrekAdventures #Modiphius

Soon...

The Black Pharaoh. Gods help us, we've got to go to Egypt to put the lid of the sarcophagus back over the Black Gods-damned Pharaoh. Been nice knowing y'all. #ttrpg #ttrpgsky #LexArcana #QualityGames

The Spirit of the Beehive (1973) The Cruel Sea (1953) Niagara (1953) The Sea Wolf (1941) #letterboxdFriday #lastfourwatched #FilmSky #MovieSky #Films #Movies

It's well past time to abolish ICE. It is also time to do away with Dept. of Homeland Security. Break it back up into multiple agencies. But that's what I wanna hear from Dems going into the midterms: abolish ICE, dismantle DHS.

Game day! We've staved off the darkness threatening the Empire in Rhaetia, but one of our contubernium now faces a decisive choice just as we must move on to confrunt a new threat! Let's goooooo! #ttrpg #ttrpgsky #rpg #LexArcana #QualityGames

I'm very much still glad I left Twitter, still hoping to "build my audience" here and over on youtube Dont let me down ya funky cool folks, youtube makes it VERY hard to get any organic growth via their platform so any help form Yall would Mean the world

It's Alternate Timeline Tuesday and we're a band of MACOs resisting the Vulcan Occupation of Earth! Let's get those green-blooded hobgoblins! #ttrpg #ttrpgsky #rpg #StarTrekAdventures #Modiphius

Movie Monday! Here are my most recent watches: #Movies #Filmsky #Letterboxd

Game day! We return to an alternate Roman Empire, where our auger has changed patron deities (and likely not for the better), we've met our mirror selves deep in the cavern temple of Echo, and everything's juuuuuust fine. #ttrpg #ttrpgsky #rpg #LexArcana #QualityGames

TFW your model kit is kinda bigger than your spray booth. Spent a couple of hours being hyper-aware of my angle of spray. #scalemodels #scifimodels #plamo #StarTrek #DS9 #startrekmodels #AMT

We're back! Romulans, Klingons, and Ferengi - oh my! Three groups of exiles from their respective governments on one planet. Can we help them forge a unified government? Wheee! #ttrpg #ttrpgsky #rpg #StarTrekAdventures #Modiphius #StarTrek

One Good Thing Our trees are trimmed! Both the big one and the smaller one that is devoted to my Beloved's collection of Star Trek ornaments. We've got the mantel decked and LED candles in the windows. The house looks lovely. But the really fun part was decorating together, fortified with thick…

How my holiday week is going so far:

I think we're ready! Happiest of holidays to everyone out there!

Because people should be left alone to live their best lifein peace. #Ally #Inclusive #Progressive #WokeAF #TransAlly #MindYourOwnDamnBusiness #ImWithThem
