LEGO Advent Calendar 2010 - Day 7

I was especially pleased with how a BOOM in the music track (11 seconds in) cued up with the exploding packet of parts that knocked down two LEGO people.

Game of Thrones Inside Look

Now that THE WALKING DEAD is on break (for nearly a year!), I need something else to watch. HBO has an adaptation of the novel, A GAME OF THRONES by George R. R. Martin - book 1 in the series, A Song of Ice and Fire. It's epic fantasy. And I don't normally dig that kind of stuff, but this looks promising. It doesn't begin until April, but that's not as far away as October (damn you slow-moving zombies).

Here's an inside look:



And a teaser:

Week of Loss - Dec. 5

This week I lost 6.4 lbs., and am within 3.8 lbs. of my year-end goal weight (199 lbs.).

Continue to monitor my progress and other health and wellness information over at A Year of Loss and Health, Pirate.

SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE in 6 Panels

Artist Chris Samnee has condensed SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE to just 6 comic panels.

LEGO Advent Calendar 2010 - Day 6

GUEST HANDS. The Monkey was around today, so I thought I'd let him share in the LEGO Advent joy. (Lucky bastard got a person; I love the LEGO people.)

LEGO Advent Calendar 2010 - Day 5

This is my favorite Advent video so far. I like what the music adds to the build, a simple, catchy version of "Pop Goes the Weasel."

What I Want To Eat

I want the pepperoni pizza - any pizza - so bad that I picked up some ingredients to make my own for this week's meals. It won't be as greasy good as the photo above, but it will hopefully satisfy the craving.

(And the corn dogs? I just love corn dogs.)

The Lost DR. WHO Opening by Craig Ferguson

I like Craig Ferguson's show in part for these amazing opening song and dance numbers. They are hilarious. Too bad this one didn't air. I'm glad I could find it online.

For My Messed Up Hands

(My hands - they are cracked and bleeding worse than I can ever remember. So very painful.)

LEGO Advent Calendar 2010 - Day 4

For the life of me, I couldn't figure out what I was building until it was done. It's a snow blower. Sure is.

Reminds me that we still haven't had a good snow yet. Come on, it's already December. Where's the snow?

Holiday Decorations

If I weren't so scared of heights, I'd be all over my house doing just like the home on the right.


At least I hope I'd be this clever. (And funny.)

LEGO Advent Calendar 2010 - Day 3

Again, I don't know what this has to do with Christmas...

LEGO Advent Calendar 2010 - Day 2

I don't know what a punk in a hoodie with two swords has to do with the holiday season, and I don't care. I'm happy to add to my LEGO army.

LEGO Advent Calendar 2010 - Day 1

Each day, depending on the time I have available, I'll get a video posted of me tearing through this awesome LEGO Advent Calendar.

This was a rush job. So no music. But, enjoy.
