So who's stupid idea was it to take photos of every single one of my DIY minifigs and then determinedly edit out every single speck of dust from every single one because autism? Actually, I think I might have answered my own question there... 😆

Well done, people of New York! (Except Staten Island, obviously). And all the other people who've elected Dems in various places. Maybe now more people will get the idea that, if you do vote, you really can change things. And I hope politicians out here in the rest of the world take note.

I'm not sure I have adequate quantities of This for... this. Why can we not have stuff that works, doesn't require a bullshit subscription, and doesn't have 'AI' forced into it for no good reason? And we're supposed to pay through the nose for this garbage, too. I'll stick with old stuff that works.

Yay for the start of November in the UK 😒 It's 1:44 of the a.m. and some oik is still letting off fireworks. I swear it gets to like the middle of October and it starts to sound like WW3 commencing before it's even dark, every damn day through to mid November.

Arguments against Intelligent Design no. 50,367: why the fuck is the thing that is meant to stop crap getting in your eye the ABSOLUTE WORST THING TO GET IN YOUR EYE?

Since I've been crap and still don't have anything new to post, I guess a half-hearted attempt to join in with spooky season will have to do. So, here's one I made earlier... (no sticky-backed plastic or loo-roll tubes, though) #Lego #AFOL #MinifigMonday #Halloween #Spooky

Happy #CrispSandwichDay to all who celebrate! Yes, I know, it's brown bread and there's cheese in there. I don't care 😜 And no, I did not actually eat it in there as I have a 'no food in the #Lego room' policy. Merry Crispmas!

Okay, better late than never, this week's #MinifigMonday whisks us off the sands of Persia, where a group of intrepid travellers has stopped to rest at a lush oasis. The antithesis of last week's environmental disaster. #Lego #AFOL #MOC #MyOwnCreation #PrinceOfPersia

Eek 30+ notifs. Sorry I've not replied to anyone this last couple of weeks. Been majorly stressed, which tends to make me retreat from the world. I will get back to anyone who commented on the last two Lego posts. I posted stuff then zonked out, lost my momentum. Been crazy tired, damn fibro.

It's #MinifigMonday (again!?) and this time there's more than just autumn leaves in the air. In fact the air probably contains a number of things no sensible minifig would want any part of. I'm not sure this team is entirely sensible, though. #Lego #AFOL #MOC #MyOwnCreation #Hazmat #ToxicWaste

It's that time again and for this week's #MinifigMonday we're enjoying the outdoors and doing a spot of gardening with the Collectable Minifigure Gardener. Nancy G. Roman has popped over to see her neighbour and catch up on all the latest gossip. #Lego #AFOL #MOC #MyOwnCreation #BloomScrolling

Ugh. Guess who fell asleep while editing photos... I'll get there. Eventually.

Plants. Again. 🙄 (But no crazy trees, just probably crazy everything else if I ask Kayelem)

In this week's episode of How did it take me so long to get this #MinifigMonday diorama done and posted, we're off to the Soap 'n' Suds Sunshine Laundrette. A relatively simple one, this time. Why the Sun-thing? I dunno, I just thought it was neat. #Lego #AFOL #MOC #MyOwnCreation

AAAAGGHH! I need a clean room for lego. I swear the specks of dust sneak in after the photo has been taken! They must hide behind a molecule, or something. 🤬

Yay, new heavy transport plane detecting skill unlocked! FL230, about four nm away. Okay, not military, but still. I swear it woke me up even though it wasn't LOUD loud. www.planespotters.net/photo/179787...

No new pictures, where are you at mentally?

I've long been a big fan of these teeny-tiny critters. They're amazing on so many levels, but this is just too damned adorable.

As they say, every little helps.

A throwaway gag but the cartoon actually inspired this diorama in the first place. Yes, I am silly. No, I couldn't really make the lemon smaller. Anyway, compared to minifigs, lemons are large, and the ridiculousness pleases me. Original cartoon is by Jim Benson #Lego #AFOL #MOC #MinifigMondayRedux

Take one mouthful of sandwich, get hiccups. Great (2nd) start to the day. And who's great idea was it to put grated mozzarella in a sandwich? I feel like I need a bib. Still, I suppose it's a step up from standing in front of the fridge eating handfuls from the bag. Not that I have ever done that.

Yah, it's still #MinifigMonday and why did this take me so long. Anyway, this week we're off to see the wizard. All he wants to do is get on with some evocating but his familiar has other ideas. Cats will be cats, even magical ones. #Lego #AFOL #MOC #MyOwnCreation #Magic

"Don't fall asleep under the computer again," comes the parting admonition. "I won't," sez I. <Wakes up several hours later> Ah. Oops 😳 And I was having an interesting dream, too. Oh well.

I finished the build. Sunday night, after starting it over a week ago. Wanted to get it done Thurs/Friday but stupid ADHD brain says "No, we must organise all the things because the things should be in different containers." But, building...? "NO. ORGANISE. NO BUILD." So, photography tomoz. Sigh.

I fire up Opus Magnum then spend 3 hours playing Sigmar's Garden instead of doing actual alchemy. I even dreamed I was playing a real version so much that the game shorted out and stopped working. Is there some rule that the solitaire in Zachtronic games is more addictive than the game itself?

And today's large military transport heard from some distance off is an Airbus A400M. Granted, they are loud. One of the few pandemic perks was getting those and other military planes, mostly transport, playing with our local airport (we're under the approach). Lots of simulated landing passes.

Why am I so fucking tired? Just woke up under computer and have no idea how long I was asleep for. Done that way too many times, lately 😫 Oh, yeah... I'm broken, that's why. Throw in the all-day headache and I think today is pretty much a dead loss. Meh.

So, I pick up the very brief sound of a C-130J Super Hercules at FL260, ~10 n-miles away. With fans on in the house. With congenitally slightly defective hearing. Yet I seem to have this knack for hearing large military transport aircraft. Is there an award for most useless superpowers?

Now I has a sad 😿. Just learned that one of the absolute best internet cats, Maru, has crossed the bridge, aged 18. As per the delightful subtitles on one of his videos, he will always be a little jocular and a lazybone, to me. This is him trying to curl up in a vessel of unfavourable geometry.

Gah, it's #MinifigMonday again and I've failed this week. Too much feeling crap lately meant I only started building yesterday afternoon. So that will have to be next week 😡. But I have to post something so here's an old thing I did, Waterfall Cottage. #Lego #AFOL #MOC.

Oh to have such joy in life! Clearly, we need less people, more gibbons.

Yes ma'am, your furry personal assistant at your service.. 😸😽😻 #cats #helpers #goodboi

It's #MinifigMonday again! Now we're off to the Dragon Teahouse with Master Wu and Cora Lin, hosted by a geisha and several cats. We seem to be going backwards, seasons-wise, for some reason. Now it's spring and there are cherry blossoms. #Lego #AFOL #MOC #MyOwnCreation #TeaCeremony #Japan

Since it is still Monday somewhere, this week's #MinifigMonday sees a couple hiking in the autumn woods, enjoying the beauty of the trees as their leaves turn. Meanwhile, the geologist below is entirely focussed on the rocks. #Lego #AFOL #MOC #MyOwnCreation

Okay, there's still a bit of Monday left, so while I haven't got all the photos edited yet (photographer only just finished due to it being too hot again), here is a teaser. Photographer is also testing out a new backdrop. More to follow! #MinifigMonday #Lego #AFOL #MOC #MyOwnCreation

OhMyGodOhMyGodOhMyGod! This looks like it's going to be even more epic (and twisted) than the first season! I need a make-time-go-faster-machine. Can. Not. Wait. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TsP...

OK, #MinifigMonday is a day late. Blame heatwave for flattening me. Ironically, this week we're off to Tierra Del Fuego for a winter expedition and it looks like our intrepid explorers aren't the only visitors. Yeah, it got away from me. Again. 🙄🤣 Worth the wait? #Lego #AFOL #MOC #MyOwnCreation

I think #MinifigMonday may be late this week 😡 Nearly 3am and mostly set-dressing left but I just can't force myself to stay awake any longer. Been up way to long as it is and I know I'll pay for it. Got carried away again. Hope I can finish during the day, then my known associate snaps some pics 🤞

Well, this gave me a much-needed laugh but, holy fucking shitballs is this whole a.i nonsense ever a dumpster fire of truly epic proportions.

It's #MinifigMonday and, for entry no. 10 (!), the theme is love, if a little twisted and monochromatic. Spooky Boy and Spooky Girl have a date in the haunted old cemetery. He's brought flowers but is nervous as she's a little older than him and rather serious. #Lego #AFOL #MOC #MyOwnCreation #Goth

Feeling this way too much.

A spoon is not a complex machine, and yet, I manage to spill milk down my face. Today is off to a stellar start. <offers up a prayer to the gods of ADHD and a sacrament of dex>

This week, for #MinifigMonday we're visiting the corner deli, maybe grab a fresh bagette, a nice wedge of Swiss cheese, some gourmet chocolate and a bottle of wine, if we're feeling extra decadent. The proprietor is actually the Hot Dog Vendor from 71018-6. #Lego #AFOL #MOC #MyOwnCreation

And I'll take some of those motherfuckin' seaweed snacks while we're about it.

Your irregular reminder that making fun of silly ideologies predates the 'net...

<wakes up to 30+ notifications> Oooh shit. What did I say this time? I am not awake enough for this. I'm still shaking off the dregs of sleep and a dream in which (a younger) Val Kilmer appeared to be abducting me from the circus (yeah, I don't know where that came from either).
