Thor IV

Last night was movie night around these parts and the movie de jour was Marvel’s Thor Love and Thunder on Disney+. I made spaghetti to celebrate the temporary return of Heidi from her adventures abroad. Thor 4 I have low expectations for the Thor movies. The last one was the best of the bunch, but it was definitely playing for laughs. This one was more of the same, but not as good. Instead of…

The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels – India Holton

https://share.libbyapp.com/title/5745438 This was my first time using the Libby service from the library. Typically, I use hoopla when I borrow books from the library. But this time around hoopla didn’t have what I wanted, so I borrowed it from Libby. They made me put it on hold before I could get it, so there was a 3-week wait. Which I’m not used to. The book was not quite what I expected, but…

Big Map

I screen captured some google maps with the labels turned off and stitched them together. Then I tweaked the color, contrast, and depth. Put the whole thing in Photoshop and started rebuilding it. It’s not done, but I’m not really sure what else will get added, removed, or changed. I just know that I’ll make changes or additions. It’s kinda what I do. I scaled the map down to 4k resolution, but…

Secret Formula

I’m going to reveal the secret formula that turns the real world into the Realms of Adventure. So here’s where it starts. Take the 2020 census population number of any given place and divide by ten. Bam! You know the size of that same place on Marsilon. Pretty easy conversion. For the most part that reflects pretty well the world I’m trying to portray. But you’ll note that both Weaverville and…

Working Around the House

Working Around the House

I haven’t posted much lately. This is because I’ve been keeping myself busy with house maintenance stuff. It’s too hot to go outside, so the garage is not any different than it was before the electrical panel was installed. This causes some distress, but it’s even hotter in the garage than it is outside… So, it can wait. Besides, I need to make a 4-inch change to the walls I built around the…

Joys of Home Ownership

Joys of Home Ownership

Just a quick update on all the home renovation going on around these parts. They’re still working on fencing in the backyard. They’re working hard, but I can’t get them to put a full day in and just get it done. Last night they completed most of it, but there are still a few slats that need to be put up and they haven’t built the gate yet. They ran out of slats so I can’t blame them for that and…
