Did you know that On the Origin of Species is really, really boring?

I couldn't think of a relevant title, but this is a post of stuff that I want.

This.

This.

Them.

This.

The patience to do this.

Crashbox and Steampunk: A love affair

So when I was nine or ten, my mom started recording this show called Crashbox on HBO Family. It was an animated educational show, filled with claymation and stop motion. And the robots were totally badass.
I mean, look at the title sequence:

How can that not kindle wonder and imagination of epic proportions in little kid?

All the little robot factory cutscenes were like this, and even though it was my second least favorite game at the time (after Captain Bones) , Psycho Math was equally influential I think.

I would love to show you a clip of Psycho Math, but all the clips on Youtube are utter crap in a bucket, so here's a picture of Professor Rocket, in all his mathtastic, brain blowing, ruler armed, creepy video mouthed, crazy metal haired glory.

I hadn't seen this show since I was eleven when we moved, but recently, we stumbled across it while looking for movies. on HBO, and I believe my exact reaction was "Oh my gosh! Momma it's CRASHBOX!"

So we started recording it again, and you'll be pleased to know that it still makes my clockwork heart tic a little bit faster, and my mechanical heartstrings sing with joy.

Pictures of Sisters

First of all, I dyed my hair again! Now my bangs have blue stripes. It's pretty awesome.

Secondly, gel pens are epic. First I drew this picture of me and Jayne with a greenish gel pen, and it was so good, I showed it to her. Then I drew another on of us as the Doctor and Sarah Jane (David Tennant, and older Sarah Jane. Mainly because she had awful fashion sense in the eighties.) This is also fantastic.
And Jayne asked for a pen and paper, so she's drawing us as well, and I drew us all steampunk. Jayne hates steampunk, therefore, she drew as just punk. Expect these pictures to be epic.

Me as the Doctor and Jayne as Sarah Jane. Sarah Jayne?

Me as a steampunk Lady, and Jayne as a total badass.

Me and Jayne looking super awesome in punk clothes. Note the piercing and chokers.
