Bon voyage

Ultimately, our future is like a mirror. Whenever we face it, it always reflects what we left behind.

Red herring fishing

The Noir Detective from Lego CMF 25. A great minifigure. This is the first photo I use him in.

Gryphon taxi station

What's a town without a taxi service. Sigun's gryphon can quickly take you anywhere you want in the kingdom, and beyond. Open 24 hours. You might have to wait though, but that's no problem, just sit down and relax and have a flagon of the finest dwarven mead. Before you know it it'll be your turn to fly.

fine print: All flights are at your own risk. If Lady (the gryphon) has a bad day she might drop you off at a place of her own choosing. No refunds.

The happiest country in the world

For the seventh year in a row, Finland is the happiest country in the world. Finland is also one of only seven countries in the world with enough clean air, according to WHO.

Also, there are 50 500 bombshelters in Finland, enough for 4.8 million people (Finland have a population of 5.5 million)

Happy, clean and safe. What more could you ask for. Move here!

The goat hero

The Goat Herd is currently my favorite Lego Minifigure. The first time I the Minifigure I must have been a bit exited because I read the name as "Goat Hero". So in my mind this character will always be just that.

The Harpys of mount Attavyros was starving. For more than 10 years they had not seen a goat. Mice and meager hares and was the best they could hope to find. It was their own fault of course. To ferociously had they hunted the goats on the mountain. The Goat Herders had been forced to look for pastures elsewhere.

But as the years had passed, younger Goat herders took over after their fathers. And some of them was foolish enough to ignore the stories of old. Some did not heed the warnings of their fathers not to bring their goats up mount Attavyros.

Aloeus was one of these foolish goat herders. But if you asked him it was not foolishness and disobedience that made him go up mountain. It was a lust for adventure, bravery and most of all he was tired of having to bring his goats to pastures far away. Aloeus would set an example, he would show the other herders that humans and not harpys had the right to the mountain.

Brain freeze

There are two kind of new year's resolutions. The one you make on new year's eve is one kind. For example it could be something like "Next year I will start skiing once a week". It is not unusual that this resolution is made after at least one or two glasses of champagne. For some people this might have impaired their judgement of their own physical abilities and personal resolve. Often there is also a perceived measure of social pressure involved in these promises. For these reasons this promise should be taken with a grain of salt.

Then there is the new year's resolution that is made on new years day. This promise is often made in solitude and with a much greater seriousness. Usually the person giving this resolution will have no problem keeping it at least until one year have passed. For example it might be something like this "I will never ski again!"

All I want for Christmas is you

I was inspired by Fourbrickstall. She found a great way to make use of the mushrooms peoples bodies from the Lego Dreamzzz sets. Here I have tried something similar where I put a different head on that small body to try and make a scary looking doll.
