There are a good many turkey vultures floating around this week. They make fantastic silhouettes and seem pretty relaxed up there doing their circles.

Spent the morning ingesting solder fumes and fumbling with spaghetti wires. There’s nothing like playing high output active bass pickups through a tiny six inch speaker.
- “Caravaggio was the BEST renaissance painter, because he knew his shit. Literally. Look at this painting, he’s painted shit on everything, even Saint Peter!”
- “For those of you fortunate enough to Not grow up catholic, a baptism is where you mist a baby like an orchid to keep it from going to hell.”
- “You get Extra Credit for you eerily comprehensive knowledge of Muppets. Now stop talking.”
- “GOD I love flying buttresses. They’re so melodramatic!”
- “I don’t call him “Da Vinci” because that means “From Vinci”. That’s like calling Steve “Of Greeley” instead of his real name and that’s just rude. And not just because Greeley is Awful.”
- “Michelangelo was really depressed because his job sucked. Also because he was a bit of a douche, but mostly the job. He should have been doing literally anything else.”
- “Everything can be improved with a Simpson’s reference!”
- “Send me Memes, I like having recent content in my lectures.”
*Next day* “Stop sending me memes. Please.”- *whilst angrily pointing at a picture of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles* “The Turtles have all their names mixed up for their personalities and frankly that’s embarrassing. The techie should be Leo, the Flirt should be Raphael, The Boring Leader Dude should be Donatello and the angry one should be Carvaggio because that asshole literally spent his life drunk, fighting people and blackmailing cardinals. Carvaggio was the BEST.”
- “I could have studied in Rome. I could be trying to match boxes of broken dicks to statuary. Instead of dicks I have you assholes.”
- “Warhol was, as you young people say, A Troll. The art is not the Art, the Outrage is the Art. Which is kind of a Dick Move, which we old people say too.”
- “Remember Kids- mental illness and heavy metal poisoning are not actually substitutes for Talent and Hard Work! Get therapy and don’t drink your paint water!”

We watched the latest incarnation of Anne of Green Gables tonight. It’s a far darker, more complex vision of Canada’s favorite waif.
(One of the writers has Breaking Bad experience.)
C. and I are having a debate as to whether the stories need to be re-imagined this way, but I’m really enjoying it. At a certain point Anne is found trying to busk poems for boat fare and it’s both hilarious and heartbreaking.

Elsewhere. The picnic area beside a highway rest stop in early summer. 1956 or 1965, somewhere in there. I won’t interact or change anything or cause any trouble. I just want to know if the feeling is different.

Someone please buy me a new scanner.
Have you ever watched a polar bear walking? They have this interesting galumphing gait that involves a lot of shoulder and ankle action.

meta-inf said: in your island drawing, what is in the suitcase?
-The prop department really let me down on this one.

I feel like I’m stuck on an island this week.
*I realize the chances of finding an atoll that size with a functioning palm tree (even a stunted one) are exceedingly remote. It’s my island though, and Bob Ross told me I could put one there to lean myself against.

Reblogging because I’m the only nerd on tumblr who will identify the guitar shops of Manuel Diaz and his rivals at Casa Ferrer across the street on Cuesta Gomerez in Granada.
I’ve never been to Spain, but somehow it seems important to know these things.

More like snow culottes.
(After recording this exchange I realized many followers would have no experience with the concept of snowpants.)
