Do not go see Transformers

Do not watch Transformers: ROTF. It's really as loud, dumb, long and offensive as the critics say.

Instead, go see a Serenity Charity Screening. You'll feel better, really.

**Sigh** Postponement

A decision has been made to postpone the tattoo. While the money situation is set to slightly improve soon, we're going to have to put it off until we can better afford the work.

If any one wants to pay for my tattoo, I'm game though.

More ships

The Voot Cruiser from Invader Zim, and Futurama's Planet Express Ship (which was on an early version of the list but some how fell off), are on the official list.

While I appreciate the enthusiasm, I had thought of, and dismissed the Spaceballs Winnebago previously. Nice try.

I now return to my full weekend with Sadimac.

Tattoo Me

I've spoken with the artist of my choice, Jesse Carr of Blackbird Tattoo, and he's keen on my idea. I'll be going in on Tuesday for a consultation, and work should start not to long after that.

Here's the current list of ships:
Serenity
Moya
TARDIS
Enterprise (TOS)
Klingon Bird of Prey (TNG)
Viper Mark II
Cylon Raider (old style)
Discovery One
Saucer from The Day the Earth Stood Still
Slave-1 (very small)
Challenger

Maybe:
I want something from Babylon 5, just not sure what.
Any body seen any art work based on the Templer Trees from Hyperion?


Still open to other suggestions...

In which I actually post an update to my Blog

Lots going on.

I am now a chief steward for ILWU Local 5 (please excuse the rough web site, we had to switch hosting on short notice), and things at BLB01 are going about as well as can be expected in these brutal economic times.

On the other hand, Percey the cat is not doing so hot. She has another round of dental problems and various other health issues, that for her comfort and quality of life we have decided not to treat. We'll be going on a track of some antibiotics and enough painkillers to keep her comfortable, and we're going to let her live out her last year or so in relative comfort. No more traumatic day long vet stays or surgery that she's always scared and miserable after, and as little poking and prodding as we can manage. There's no sense in having her live in fear.

I have come to a tattooing decision. I've always wanted to get one nice, fairly ambitious tattoo, and the decision has been made as to what & where: A collage of starships (no, not Jefferson Starship) will be somewhere on my body (I will reveal where when work has begun). Here's the list of what I'm planning on including so far

Definitley:
Serenity (Firefly/Serenity)
Enterprise (TOS)
The TARDIS (Dr Who)
a Viper (New BSG)
a Raider (Old BSG)
Moira (Farscape)
Challenger (the space shuttle)
Klingon Bird of Prey (not sure which one)
Saucer from the original The Day the Earth Stood Still
Discovery One (2001 ASO)

Maybe:
SDF 1 (Robotech)
The Phoenix (Battle of the Planets/Gatchamon)
The ARK [Transformers (80's Cartoon)]

I'm also looking for other ships, be they from old Amazing covers, obvious things I haven't thought of yet, etc. So send me links and scans, I've got some flesh to fill!

My next step is to talk to a tattoo artist, and my dear sister has provided what I think will be the right path.

I am aware that there are no Star Wars ships on the list above, and it is intentional. There will be one Star Wars vessel, either an X-Wing or Slave-1. We have been betrayed, and my anger runs deep.

Sparks

Why was I not informed about this before?

We now interupt our hiatus for roboerotic violence.

Ravage! SQEEEE!

I know, I'm a proponent of the laws of robotics, I shouldn't like this stuff. But come on, giant construction equipment that turns into killer robots? I'm there.

Update: The bastards took it off line. I shall attempt to find it again.

Next update. Go here to see it in all it's 'splodey glory
