Well, here's my entry for BLaB's Ma.K Like a Boss building contest! I couldn't really think of what to build, until I saw my Batman minifig sitting on my shelf. Then it clicked. I would build a mecha Batmobile. So, here is the product of my labor!
Features include:
-Poseable legs
-Adjustable bat fins
-Smoke bomb cannon
-Opening cockpit
-Extendable ladder
-A Bat-SAFS (why not?)
You can check out the other views of the MOC here!
Check out the BLaB contest here!

For those of you, who I haven't already blabbed about this to, the Huffington Post has asked me to do a regular blog about my Rust Belt photos and travels. In the future, the blog will also feature work and wisdom from some of the other wonderful photogs from the American Elegy site and such. The blog can be found here: www.huffingtonpost.com/randy-fox/welcome-to-the-rust-belt...

I've been holed up in the house for about three days. Today I opened the bedroom curtains for the first time. It was sunny outside. I think that I know what sent me into this latest deep depression. I'll tell a little about it later. I've been having some face-to-face with a friend who has dealt with this kind of uncontrollable emotional paralysis in her own life. It's comforting to have someone to talk to that understands from first hand experience.
However, I'm not here to blab on about distress. I'm in the mood for a bit of humour. Let's see if I can pull it off. It's time to laugh a bit.
A week or so I was talking to someone about something difficult I had to accomplish and I was trying to make it sound light-hearted. I had intended to say, "How bad can it hurt me?" It came out, somewhat more ominously, "How bad can it kill me?" I took a mental note of that and proceeded to bore my friend with the details of my plan to conquer this horrible thing which was an everyday problem for many people, but made me feel as if I were a passenger on the maiden voyage of the Titanic. When his eyes glassed over I relented. Later, I began to think about my Freudian slip.
I certainly don't recommend fooling around with fate and getting yourself in such a pickle as the one in which I'm presently fermenting. Nobody is stupid enough to bring such things upon himself. Nevertheless, I must admit that there is an upside. Regardless if it is true or not, there is a certain freedom in feeling that I have nothing to lose. Of course, I know that it is not true, but knowing is not feeling, knowing is not accepting. I have many things going for me. I'm healthy, if putting on a little too much weight. I'm reasonably sane and able to take care of myself day by day, though my bed only occasionally gets made. I have a job which I can still perform well enough for the time being and I'll improve as I get better. I have a nice house to live in, though I do rattle around in it like a cracked marble. I have friends to annoy. All in all, I'm likely better off than maybe eighty percent of the population of the planet.
I admit that I can't do a post without images. I'm sure that this stems from the fear that what I'm writing is so abominably rotten that nobody could possibly read it without becoming nauseous. If I throw in a few pictures, it might possibly be seen as a redeeming value. Here is the rather unusual sight of three Solitary Corals (Fungia fugites) cuddled up together:
Let me get back to what is passing for a train of thought tonight. As I was saying, perceiving a current state of life as being unsustainable over the long run and being not so nihilistic as to believe that there is no hope that it might get better is the starting point. So, it's pretty bad, but it could get better. Now add that what has happened is the worst thing possible that could have happened. Yes, it could have happened in a worse way, but there is nothing on the list that could possibly top it. And the list is exhaustive. Okay, throw into the equation that even if more bad things pop up, they can't make me much worse than I am now. My money all disappears - hey, money is not security. What good is it doing me now? I lose my job - well, that would be tough, but it would just force me into a change. The list goes on.
Nothing that I can think of really threatens me. This seems to create some kind of weird super-power. Call me Sticks-and-Stones-Can-Break-My-Bones-But-Nothing-Can-Really-Hurt-Me-Man. No, that's too long a name for a super-hero.
Ah, now I remember what set off my hiding-under-the-covers period - the second coffin-building incident in less than two weeks. I won't go into the details. It suffices to say that it was another time of grieving:
It does strike me that I look terribly angry in that shot. I was going for "resigned". It came out much differently. By the time I came into the office to discover that it needed to be built, a friend had already been recruited, so at least neither of us had to face the job alone. I am getting rather good at knocking together a coffin. I don't plan to take it up professionally, but one never knows.
Feeling this freedom of relative invulnerability, however, it not a safe thing. It can make one reckless. I find myself thinking outrageous thoughts about what I might conceivably do. I fantasise. I make astonishingly stupid plans. I catch myself dreaming of selling everything and scuttling off to Bali or Rio and living off my photography and writing. Then I'm brought up short by the realisation that I've found no way to live off it yet and the fact that I might starve trying to is not an improvement on the present situation. Not a bit.
No, I'm better off now staying here and doing what I was sent here to do. That's where my security lies now. In some ways that's a hard pill to swallow, but that is only because I'm not exactly ecstatic about life at the moment.
This horrible thing, looking for all the world like "The Small Intestine from Outer Space" is a Prickly Sea Cucumber:
It's not a great picture of one. Possibly you can see the hideous frilly arms that wave around engulfing whatever seems edible. I'll have to try feeding a banana to one.
Yes, fantasies sustain me these days. I've always been an exceptionally good daydreamer. Walter Mitty has nothing on me. I've dreamed up several schemes lately, none of which have proved, upon the most cursory consideration, to be remotely feasible. Most of the difficulty lies in where, I might go. Except for Papua New Guinea and the USA, any place I might choose to go would present considerable difficulty. You must have permanent residency to work in almost any country worth living in. That is a high hurdle.
I had a passing fancy for Costa Rica until I began to look at the residency problem. I'm not sure I'll live long enough to jump through all of the hoops. The same goes for Canada, which I would like to be able to think of as my final "home" when I'm so broken down that I need to crawl into a hole and wait for the end. I'd probably have to do it as an illegal immigrant. Wouldn't that be an interesting way to end up? I'd have to start a new journal and make it anonymous.
I met a friend at the Madang Lodge and Restaurant last Friday evening for some light conversation. I noticed that the big storyboard on the back wall had been decorated for the Christmas season:
I got this storyboard along with four others about the same size while on a trip to the Sepik River quite a few years ago. They were among the largest I have seen. I don't know how much they would be worth now - probably quite a bit, as they are very hard to come by now. I have two of them about the same size hanging in my house.
Much of the future is too fuzzy for me to think about with any clarity. I wish I had something like this:
Yeah, a big brain - that's the ticket. I need a huge Platygyra lamellina.
Then again, I probably spend far too much time pondering the future. When I consider that, I feel silly, but I've always been that way. Yeah, a thinker about the future and silly. I admit to both. It's painfully obvious that the future is the thing over which I have the least control. How delusional it was to believe otherwise. It was all planned out . . .
Look what all that planning got me. Best simply to plan to brush one's teeth in the morning. If that works out, then begin to plan what to have for lunch. Anything beyond that is getting risky.

Technically speaking, this image sucks hairy donkey balls. I'm okay with that. I have lame excuses that involve my cat going missing for two days (still not found... :( )
On a happier note, this image cracks me up because in about 5 years my son is going to see this and go "Um, mom, was that my halloween costume that year?" and I'm going to go "yes, that's what I did while you were at school." and he's going to say "how did you fit into that thing? I was SIX?!" and I'm going to say "Lycra is your friend. and sacrifices must be made in order to protect the cookies!"
Happy Halloween, Fuggers! I'm taking a much needed vacation-like trip for this weekend. I'll catch up with ya'll next week!

Hér er stutt saga af Sigga 5 ára sem fór með okkur í berjamó.
"Agnes, viltu smakka grænjaxl?"
"Nei takk Siggi, þeir eru ekki góðir á bragðið"
"Jú Agnes, þeir eru rosalega góðir þeir eru alveg eins og súkkulaði á bragðið!"
A story of 5 year old Siggi when we went berrypicking.
"Agnes do you want to taste the green berries"
"No thank you Siggi, the green ones don´t taste good"
"But they taste so good, please try them, they taste just like chocolate!!"
