zondag 22 december 2024 My dear friends... I am at a loss for words. Star Trek: Lower Decks is gone before its time.

Beckett Mariner: Nobody on the Cerritos is even close to perfect. We're a mishmash of people and various creatures that don't fit in anywhere else. But we're a family. Live long and prosper USS Cerritos.

Starting as an homage to other Trek shows from day one, the Lower Decks title sequence has continued to develop every year. Tawny Newsome and Jack Quaid! What a team! A lot of joyful energy flow between these two. Jack loves his lunchbox. I want one, too.

zaterdag 21 december 2024 A head without a body is like a day without sunshine. Watch MST3K: The Brain That Wouldn't Die.

I can see clearly now, the snow has gone. Johnny Nash! I knew you.

vrijdag 20 december 2024 Actually, I like hearing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata at midnight. Mondscheinsonate. Glück Just putting this music out there. Pop Etc. I kinda miss this song. But you put me on this vacation. It's really not the time. It's winter halfway across the world. Somewhere its bright daylight. Joy To The Worms!

donderdag 19 december 2024 Contributions of lots of yummy food for the residents of my building. Chocolate Orange Loaf for breakfast.

Cleveland: the real Gotham City. A dark, lawless Gotham City.

Reviewing the animated TV series Young Justice. The writers had a silly sense of humor. Superboy! He has most of the physical abilities of a Kryptonian. However, as a binary clone with human DNA supplied by Lex Luthor, he lacks the advanced powers of flight and heat vision.

For me, every day is Astronomy Day. 🔭 Betelgeuse Likely Has a ‘Betelbuddy’ 😁 One of these days... IT'LL GO SUPERNOVA!

woensdag 18 december 2024 That's it from the International Space Station. До свидания Антон и Роман 🇷🇺. Addio Pietro 🇮🇹. Take care Shaun 🇺🇸. Sayounara Chie 🇯🇵. Good-bye Nell 🇬🇧.

Orbital is finished. After 16 orbits, the book is done. I'm kinda sad. 😕

dinsdag 17 december 2024 Hello from Redneckistan... Ohio, USA.

Nice to see clear skies. It's been a while. Just a few wispy clouds floating by. But it's more chilly than yesterday.

Our galaxy is lovely. The Milky Way is our galactic home. Astronomers know that it's a barred spiral galaxy, similar to many others but also different and unique in many ways. Containing 100–400 billion stars.

November 3rd, 1965, Lost in Space scared the living crap out of me - a poor 9-year-old boy from Ohio - with Invaders from the Fifth Dimension. Floating alien heads need humanoid brain to replace a computer from their ship’s guidance system.

maandag 16 december 2024 This is maybe one of the most disturbing episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000. It's MST3K: Kitten With A Whip. Ann-Margret plays a psychotic juvenile delinquent. She is seriously wacky! John Forsythe's character plays a senatorial hopeful who gets in much trouble with that wicked Jody. That crazy gang coerces Forsythe to drive them to Tijuana. Buck: Congratulations. You just smuggled your first fugitive across the border.

A friend went to the Packers-Seahawks game last night. I like her flashy toy. Yikes! The Seahawks were really struggling. She's way up high. The stadium was packed. (The Packers won 30-13. 🫤)

zondag 15 december 2024

zondag 15 december 2024 Remember all those wonderful flashbacks? Watch MST3K: Soultaker. Gregg Thomsen plays Zach Taylor.

Oowie! Venom: The Last Dance is awesome! It's a touching buddy movie. We visit Venom's home world. That's a scary place!

zaterdag 14 december 2024 Don't Look Back in Anger. But I DOOO!

😡

Here comes the circus. Here comes the freaks! Please, consider Trump's cabinet. But who will be confirmed? What a messy mess! Real-Time Solar System Planets Tracker. Enjoy the peace of the cosmos.

Playlist for the US Presidential Inauguration

Let's go on tour!

Springtime for Hitler Doin' the butt! MST3K Yipe Stripes! When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful. The Logical Song. With a fickle mind, we kick her into her gear. Idiot Control Now! Napkin up all the blood. Hmm. Outrage and Uprising! Depeche Mode: People Are People. I want some more! Kiss Kicker 99! Ha HAAA! They're Coming To Take Me Away Ha Haaa! Buff boy plays Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata (Third Movement). Pain and suffering. And the struggle to be free. INXS Disappear. Only 10 songs? I need more! MORE!

vrijdag 13 december 2024

vrijdag 13 december 2024 Dream: Visiting Orlando, I bump into Rep. Maxwell Alejandro Frost. Yoo-hoo, Maxwell!

The Jupiter 2 arrives at Planet Delta. Bartholomew takes Will and Penny to be processed. Lost in Space: The Promised Planet.

Dr. Zachary Smith: Let's all freak out together, man!  WARNING! These young aliens are deceptive, treacherous and hostile.

BRRR! 🥶 Protect yourself. A couple of stray snow showers pass thru.

I'm almost done with my book Orbital. I keep referring back to page 109 because it haunts me. In the face of the earth's bare beauty, the news seems ridiculous in comparison. (A sticky note marks the page.)

donderdag 12 december 2024

donderdag 12 december 2024 How do the Robinsons survive each and every episode of Lost in Space. Re-watch the third and final season? Why final? It was such a good series. Maxwell Jenkins (who plays Will Robinson) is such an amazing young actor!

Vijay plays Three Little Birds. Every little thing is gonna be alright.

😢

Ways to describe the cold weather.  Piercing, biting, bone-chilling.

Chris Egan does a 1-on-1 interview with Seahawk Smith-Njigba. Thank you, KING 5, for doing this. I've been curious about this talented wide receiver. Jaxon: Seattle is a loving city. 💙 💚

'Star Wars: Skeleton Crew' episode 3: What's Jod Na Nawood's true identity? Jod leads the kids to Kh'ymm's place. She's a sort of an owl librarian and historian. Just walking on the moon.

Allen does his critique: This episode is for the fans. True enough! 🙂

woensdag 11 december 2024

woensdag 11 december 2024 Dream: very cool Pride talent contest at Climate Pledge Arena. Each district of Washington State represent with song and dance... even District 2! 🏳️‍🌈

Yay! 🏳️‍🌈 It's been a while that I've had a gay dream. And it's a welcomed dream. And it's been awhile. Since I could hold my head up high. Dusting of snow for us... just to cover the branches. As colder air moves in aloft, rain-->snow by midday. Surface temps above freezing, so accumulation mainly on grassy/elevated surfaces.

Watch David Pakman. He seems to lay out the prospects for the United States of America in a simple 5 minute 54 second segment. The reality: Elon Musk the un-elected president while his vice president is Donald. The things you want to say when you watch a bad movie. BAD MOVIE! Giant Tom Servo. Applause! 👏

Monster a Go-Go: the worst Monster Movie MST3K ever did. Booo! 😖

dinsdag 10 december 2024

dinsdag 10 december 2024 Hello. The moon is 8 days old, in the waxing gibbous phase of its lunar cycle. It is 58% illuminated.

The pace of this film is relentless! So much destruction in so little time! Way crazy movie - Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Happy Xmas! 🎄 The sign gives permission to take photos. I took only one. I'm lucky... AGAIN! 😏 I got home before it starts raining.

Next estimated jackpot Mega Millions: $619 Million! Wish me luck or (uck?). Just relax and watch the very silly Japanese 1961 superhero film Invasion of the Neptune Men (MST3K). Sorry. I can't watch this without Mike, Tom and Crow. Go get 'em Space Chief!

maandag 9 december 2024

maandag 9 december 2024 Watch the first two episodes of the American science fiction adventure series Skeleton Crew. It's a coming-of-age story about four children who make a discovery on their home planet, get lost in the galaxy, and go on an adventure to get back home. Jude Law plays Jod Na Nawood. Is he a Jedi-pirate?

On this day in space - Dec. 9, 2006! Arne Christer Fuglesang becomes the first-ever Swedish astronaut launched to the International Space Station. He was a mission specialist on STS-116.

Seattle Seahawks beat the Arizona Cardinals 30-18 on Sunday to remain atop the NFC West. Seahawks (8-5) 💙 💚

Rep. Maxwell Frost is right. DOGE: Billionaires ‘cosplaying as government officials’ 😣 The Artemis I unmanned lunar rocket is sitting on the launch pad, but NASA is an obvious target for DOGE’s axe.

zondag 8 december 2024

zondag 8 december 2024 Sending lots of Birthday Love today to Mr. Tanner Buchanan!!! 🥳 Can't wait to see how Robby's story wraps up when the final 5 episodes of Cobra Kai hit Netflix on Feb. 13!!!

David Hogg on CNN This Morning. Elect a new DNC Chair?!?! Maybe.

The sun seems to disappear when I go outside. Not much blue sky. 💙

zaterdag 7 december 2024

zaterdag 7 december 2024 Watch MST3K: Prince of Space. I am Ambassador Phantom, from the planet Krankor! HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Whoa! WHOA! More Squid Eyes? wins the T-Shirt of the Week award!

I'm really not sure I could love LOWER DECKS more. This week's warm and incredibly clever Trek-film homage is genuinely hilarious. Watch episode 5.8: Higher Decks. The Lower Deckers are carving pumpkins. The Seniors are in all sorts of ridiculous hullabaloo.

Max Porter: An awe-inspiring and humbling love letter to Earth. My sentiments as well, Max, about Orbital. I'm just in awe of the pictures Samantha Harvey paints with her words.  Poetry!

Let's not forget Ukraine. Here are the key developments on the 1017th day of the Russia-Ukraine war. The Russians attack Zaporizhzhia killing at least 10 people and wounding 24. When Trump gets into office, he will stand by and watch the genocide of Ukrainians.

vrijdag 6 december 2024

vrijdag 6 december 2024 My French isn't as good as it used to be, but it's easy to pronounce Timothée Chalamet's name. Né le 27 décembre 1995 à New York. His smile melts my heart! ❤️

Bees and wasps make me squeamish and squirmish, but the 1959 American independent science-fiction horror film The Wasp Woman by Roger Corman makes me laugh! 🤣

The temperature is 31°F. The sunshine is slowly melting the snow.

Turn on ABC 7 Chicago. They present the cutest kitten from PAWS Chicago. Awwww! Saluki rescued from the streets.

donderdag 5 december 2024

donderdag 5 december 2024 What's up? The snow is blowing sideways!

Colonel White, Captain Blue, Captain Scarlet (and Doctor No-name) will defend Earth against the Mysterons, a race of vengeful Martians! Watch MST3K: Revenge of the Mysterons from Mars.

Winds at 4:20 am wake me up. It's howling and scary. Feels like -4°F!

Good reading for a cold, blustery day. Thanks, Lorain Public Library, for getting Orbital for me. Definitely a good book.

Oops. Here we go again. A band of lake effect snow invades. MAN! 😐

Think warm thoughts. Stroll with Gavin Casalegno in the Maldives. 😉
