HHD

Good morning, and welcome to The Martian edition of Hunky Hump Day. I enjoyed this movie because it stuck to the book, but I think if you like space, you’d like the movie even if you haven’t read Andy Weir. NASA must have helped a fair amount, because there was a lot of Hermes that looked just like ISS – radiators, solar arrays, docking targets, etc. In fact, I would not be surprised if NASA let them use the mockup of the Multi-purpose Logistics Module for filming. I saw the regular version, not the 3D, as 3D movies tend to give me a headache.
The captain of the ship packed a large supply of disco music.

Well, that’s better than bringing “Leather Goddesses of Phobos”.
Where was I? Oh yeah.

Wire Control

Witness the floating orbs of Masakatsu Sashie

Again with the not a lot of biographical info on the artist.

MMM 194: MJ doesn’t know why I post these

I’ll be in a class/meeting/lunch from 8am to 1pm, so talk amongst yourselves in the meanwhile.

Booty to start off.

Just some stuff

New Saturday poat

Let’s see what’s in the funneh folder for today.

Pupster?

Halloween’s almost here, even though CT schools tried to drop it. (SES fodder for Wiser? I haven’t listened to last week’s show yet.)

Trebuchet team will be here in a couple of hours, and the coffee is fresh. Have a good day.

BBF

Hello Mr. Crabs and Mrs. Tacos, and welcome to Big Boob Friday.

Your model for today is an actress who started out in soaps, music videos, then transitioned into slasher movies and finally got her big break in a tween hero movie. She has more than two beautiful, striking features that may or may not be real.

She was born to a pair of lawyers in New York City, her brother is an actor and her grandfather was a congressman from Connecticut. She’s about yay high and yay wide and weighs just enough to rock the boat.

She took her top off and waggled her sweater puppies in Woody Harrelson‘s face in True Detective which just re-enforces my belief that Woody is the luckiest man on Earth besides yours truly.

Please try and keep grandma from petting the possum long enough to welcome, Miss Alexandria Daddario!

Fall Bitchez

Fall is a wonderful time of year. Less heat and humidity, fewer bugs, harvest time festivals and traditions. Football!

Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. Let’s get it started.

I was all set to put more effort into this week’s HHD to make up for last week, when Beasn went and gave me all the poat fodder I needed. Thank you, ma’am. This week’s hunks are courtesy of the Charleston, SC firefighters and their calendar fundraiser to help abused and abandoned animals. Hubba hubba!

Wire in the Hills

Welcome to The Art Wire.

Today, yet another German Expressionist.  What can I say? I like German Expressionism.

Ernst Barlach.  b. 1870 Rostock d. 1938.

Like other German artists featured here, Barlach was a German infantry man in WWI.  His experiences in that war naturally influenced his work for the rest of his life.

 

In addition to his sculpture, Barlach created exceptional woodcuts.  See many of them here.

One of my very favorite artists,

New Master, Ernst Barlach.

Thank you for viewing,

 

Have a wonderful day.

 

 

MMM 193: Columbus Day edition

Week 12 begins today. I gave that a lot yesterday, prayed about it, and I’m pretty sure it’s not where I’m supposed to be. Tired of waiting to hear, so this week I’m going to start taking concrete steps toward the door, starting with contacting potential future bossman. The call never happened because we texted instead and he was swamped at the time, so it’s time to call, or at least to schedule a call. The only thing holding me back is me, so it’s time to get out of my way. The longer I stay, the harder it’ll be to leave, and the more time I’ll have wasted, both mine and my current coworkers. They are all good folks and I’m getting tired of keeping them at arm’s length because I don’t want to stay. It’s a big mess and it’s all my fault. Maybe I had to do it to learn that I didn’t want to do it, maybe not.

Baby girl had a stuffy nose last night. I’ll let you know in the comments whether she managed to clear it up enough to nurse or sleep effectively.

Now, pictures. First, some action.
