As I mentioned in the previous photo's description - I have contracted COVID-19. I spent almost the entire January sick, tired, and coughing, but overall - the symptoms weren't nearly as bad as they can be (thank you, vaccines!).
*
I'm now feeling almost as good as new and my quarantine period is nearly over. But the darn brain fog is so persistent! When covid combines with my naturally scattered mind, it's quite a disaster: I forget words in both languages, I forget where I put things, I forget what I wanted to do two seconds ago... It's pretty annoying, but it can also be hilarious.

Oh well, I'll keep taking care of myself, taking vitamins, avoiding alcohol, and creating - as it seems that I'm my focused and sharp self only when I create.
A recent comment asked for the innards of Brain, featured in my Young Justice series. Ask and ye shall recieve, so here he is.
It's there, it's where, it begins,
and it's calling your name
You've been down there all night now,
in a state that I cannot explain
Behind grey curtains of ash
from a word it was burn
Now smoke rises high from your head,
morning mist laying dead
On naked shoulders
- no flowers, no thorns
Hey love, stay the fuck out of my home
I've told you a thousand times
'Cause my brain tells me you're dangerous,
and my belly says
you're just too hard to find
A kiss from sullen lips of ashes
will probably blow this whole winter away
But something tells me this is just not real,
something tells me this smoke is here to stay
It was supposed to be an endless day

Abused & Abandoned Jungle Dogs.
OK, here's the deal, Baby Bean Brain is
to scared to go down the cement stairs.
They are steep, wet & covered with mold.
The insert photo of Rocky shows
just how steep they really are.
Mama & Rocky have already raced down and
have positioned themselves in front of Buddha .
Rocky is laying on his side with his tail pounding the
floor. Mama is next to him doing dog maintenance.
When I go down these stairs it's sideways while
holding on to the cement handrail. Dangerous.
Mickey is whining not sure what to do. You can
see one of Rocky's eyes is watching us as his
tail continues to pound the floor. He thinks
it's so funny. Mama continues grooming.
The Panda behind Mickey, I painted when the
aliens were attacking us at The Dog Palace.
Eventually I told Mickey Bean Brain that if he
wants to ride with the Big Dogs he's got to
grow up. Take a chance & do a little dance.
I turned and made my way down the steps.
Two seconds later he went flying past me
and landed on Rocky who's tail was still
pounding the tile floor. Mama jumps on
Mickey while Rocky continues to lay on
his side with his tail pounding the floor.
In short order all three dogs were in a
pile on said tile floor rolling and wiggling
about. Rocky's tail continued pounding the
floor as his eyes never left me. He's so funny.

My little tribute to the fantastic Mickey Mouse short RUNAWAY BRAIN - jmaruyama.com/blog/2014/10/22/runaway-brain/
This image features a 4 km-wide impact crater that formed on the rim of an older 15 km-wide crater on Mars. The linear ridge to the top of the image is the rim of the older crater, which itself intersects the rim of an even larger, 40 km-wide crater.
To the left of the image, so-called ‘brain coral terrain’ is visible – so-named because of its likeness in appearance to the ridges on the surface of the human brain. It appears to sit on the floor of the largest crater, although this deposit may be related to the lineated fill that lines the floor of the 15-km crater to the right of the image. Both types of terrain are associated with ice-rich material found near the boundary between Mars’ northern plains and its southern highlands.
Information held in images like these – best viewed with red-blue ‘3D’ glasses to give the impression of depth – help scientists make a detailed study of the order in which the many interacting layers were formed, thus piecing together the history of complex regions.
The image was created from a stereo pairs taken by the Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System (CaSSIS) onboard the ESA-Roscosmos ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter on 7 February 2019. It is centred at 32.9 ºN/13.7ºE.

My brain is still kind of spinning from the events in the world right now. So many things lost, so many things unknown.
"It's like we signed up for a journey but were never given a compass."
I'm still praying for the people in CA right now, as many are evacuating or have already lost everything.
I’ve waited nine years for this moment…
For reasons unknown to us, Nex and Stringer would never see another release after 2012, despite two full waves of sets they could easily have been integrated into. With Bulk growing increasingly orange and Stringer’s lack of unified color scheme, my belief is that Nex and Stringer underperformed in BREAKOUT as the two cheaper sets of the second wave and were cut from the lineup for the remainder of Hero Factory’s run.
Until today…
With a helmet commissioned from @galva_nize_ I present BRAIN ATTACK Stringer. He is of the same height class as Stormer and Surge and is equipped with a Hero Sword. He also has a scanning apparatus affixed to his arm for performing sonar sweeps and picking up thermal signatures. I went for a more hefty build as Stringer deserves the extra muscle. I have also tried to combine his blue BREAKOUT color scheme and his orange 1.0 colors to create something that honors both.
I have taken great lengths to keep the design language of the other BRAIN ATTACK sets:
- Melee weapons
- Silver or Gunmetal secondary color
- Transparent armor piece
- Hero Core Clamp and Visor
This build uses a shoulder configuration first used by Beardly_Designs. I don’t think anything else draws inspiration from other MOCs but, if you feel it does, let me know!
Building this MOC is honestly a dream come true for me. I’m glad I can finally give Stringer the form he deserves.

This was my entry to 'On The Spot'...well, i got just nudged out for the top prizes because of
www.flickr.com/photos/bongu/445779099/
and
www.flickr.com/photos/nehashah/458751458/
Do visit them...both are by very talented, budding photographers.
And about the 'just got nudged out' part, well not really. If there was a prize for Worst Entry, I'd have won it hands down. But hey, there wasn't such a prize, so to the ignorant world, I got just nudged out of first and second place. :)
About this snap, it was taken to the theme 'BITS Incognito'. Increased contrast quite a lot to get the deep colours. No other post processing.

Tehran-Iran
Summer 2008
This weekend was set aside for the pursuit of ambition. I decided it perfectly plausible that I can change my entire life by sending out a few beautifully and wittily worded emails to choice and influential recipients in the art and literature worlds. They will see a ‘Flickr of something’ in me and hurriedly write back, begging for a meeting. So, I set about finding said influential recipients….. and I didn’t get much further.
During these, so called ‘weekends of ambition’ the first thing to do is to keep the Writers & Artists Yearbook 2010 firmly closed.
After half an hour leafing through it I had decided that it was probably simpler to have the creative part of my brain lobotomised so that I no longer feel any artistic yearnings. The chapter about the best lobotomy surgeon to consult is conveniently at the back of the book after you have looked through the rest and become thoroughly despondent.
The submission parameters are terrifying:
“Non-fiction German women’s issues only”
“Cricket themed poetry only, submit only via handwritten cricket pads”
“True stories of abused childhoods and violent erotica only, no cookbooks”
“Work must be printed, bound in hardback with dust jacket, already published and with a booker prize imminent.”
I hold the Sunday papers largely responsible for my extreme frustration; they feed me hope over my muesli. There will be, without fail two or three articles in the magazines telling you about an artist/singer/writer’s path to success. I always pore over this kind of article as though I am reading a treasure map, ‘Where is it, where is it?’ No, not the ‘X marks the spot’ but the oh so precious and only important bit where they tell you exactly how they made the transition from sitting in the corner of a greasy spoon ‘being creative and wishing’ to being signed up with some hot shot publisher, agent or gallery.
Guardian Weekend just the other day told of Carmen Herrera, an artist who became a success at the age of 94. We hear how she found her artistic direction, how her work was rejected from countless galleries, how she painted every day for hours, blah, blah, blah, cut to the chase….
‘After those first paintings were bought in 2004, word spread quickly and other pieces were sold. I was in shock for days. Now I have pieces in collections all over the world.’
Oh for god’s sake! Where was this work on display? I thought you said no one would show it. Who bought the pieces? How did word spread? Did you have an agent? How did you get an agent?! What the f**K?!!!!
So after burning The Writers and Artists Yearbook 2010, punching the bed 50 times and failing to send a single email to anybody of any importance I decided instead to go out.
Don’t whatever you do go into a branch of Hollister on one of your down days.
Remember that feeling at school when the popular, attractive kids made you feel like you had intruded on their private members club and tainted it with ugliness when you entered the common room? Want to relive it? Go to Hollister.
The California originated store’s signature interior look is ‘darkness’ and the desired atmosphere; a feeling of unwelcome intrusion on some kind of frat party.
I manage to get in without bashing my shins on the invisible vintage furniture but fail to avoid breaking through the middle of a gaggle of plaid shirted, pouty lipped girls and boys all busily flirting – the main part of their job description.
In fact this ploy works, they simultaneously intimidate whilst creating envy and longing in the oh so plain and uninteresting clientele. We all wish we could be in a world where the next opportunity to flirt by the denim cut offs is all that matters, and because of that feeling we buy 10 pairs of denim cut offs, convinced that they must be infused with this superficial magic.
Their cunning low light ploy is obvious, if you moan about the fact that you can’t see anything then you are too old to be in there. Similar to the blindfolding of racehorses as they go into the stalls it is also less stressful to fork out 50 quid on a t shirt if you can’t actually see it. I’m not sure why they actually have changing rooms as I could get changed in the corner of the shop without anyone seeing me and the only way I was actually able to judge how I looked when I did finally get into the equally dim changing room was by the disdainful sneer of the girl manning it. That must mean these jeans look bloody amazing! I’m having them!
I imagine a sight to behold at the end of the day when the shop shuts. 50 part-time models stagger out of the front doors blinking like pit ponies. They stumble home blue toed in flip flops with white sticks clacking, a long line, each holding onto the pubic mound surfing waistband of the model in front.

A specimen of the brain cactus Stenocactus erctocentrus (or multicostatus), native of Mexico, at the Tucson Botanical Gardens.
I think this may be a rather old specimen of Leafy Brain fungus (Tremella foliacea). It's the first time I have knowingly seen this fungus even though it is supposed to be widesread and common in the UK!
Leafy Brain is a jelly fungus - tremella, the generic name means trembling - a reference to the wobbly-jelly-like structure of fungi within this grouping. The specific epithet foliacea means folded or wrinkled like leaves. Initially disc-like, the fruitbody develops irregular convoluted folds with rounded margins. Individual fruitbodies grow to between 2 and 20cm across. The leaf-like clusters of folded lobes are usually reddish-brown or pale pinkish-brown but sometimes reddish orange; gelatinous when damp, turning dark and shriveling to an inconspicuous fraction of its former size during very dry weather.
This jelly fungus grows on dead timber of broadleaf trees and conifers. It is not the dead timber that Tremella foliacea consumes but rather a kind of bracket or crust fungus that itself has been feeding on the wood. Tremella foliacea must therefore be classed as a parasitic rather than saprobic species. In Britain (and probably elsewhere) it attacks Hairy Curtain Crust Stereum hirsutum. It can be found throughout the year, but it is most visible in autumn and winter.
Your brain is considerably more complex wiring than you may think. The main interconnection between your left and right brain hemispheres has 200 million connections. Thus, each wire pair in this cable would represent on the order of 1 million nerves.
"The corpus callosum is the main transverse tract of fibers that connects the two cerebral hemispheres. It is made of more than 200 million nerve fibers."

Brain Forest Quipu is a multi-part installation at Tate Modern made up of sculpture, sound, music and video created by Cecilia Vicuña. It is an ancient South American recording and communication system made from knotted threads. At the centre of Brain Forest Quipu are two sculptures that hang 27 metres from the ceiling. They are woven together using a range of organic materials, including found objects, unspun wool, plant fibres, rope and cardboard to evoke the look of bleached-out trees and ghostly forms.
Formations showing Polygonal Cracking at Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, Arizona.
This image is part of my Southwest set.
From the parking area sign:
This area is a spectacular exposure of red, pink, and white contorted sedimentary rock layers. The bedrock here consists of the Early Jurassic age Navajo Sandstone. The Navajo Sandstone is composed of frosted, well-rounded, fine-to medium-grained quartz cemented by calcium carbonate.
Approximately 190 million years ago, this area was part of a region covered with deep, shifting sand and complex dunes comparable to the modern day Sahara Desert. The dune field encompassed parts of Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, and Wyoming. The large-scale, high-angle, crossbeds, which can be up to 25-feet wide are characteristic of windblown deposits and are examples of what was once a large dune field.
At that time, periods of monsoonal moisture supported plant and animal life. Organisms left evidence of their existence in this area in bio-turbated beds. Bio-turbation in this area is caused by the mixing of sediments by ancient, burrowing insects and spiders.
The various shades of red, pink, yellow, and brown rocks are due to the oxidation of iron-bearing minerals within the sandstone. The red and pink colors are attributed to the presence of the mineral hematite, while the yellow and brown colors are produced by the minerals limonite or goethite.
The beautifully swirled appearance of the rocks are due to an exceptional exposure of unusually soft sediment deformation and slump sediments. Soft sediment deformation occurs when separated layers of sediment are flooded and/or sheared due to gravitational forces, changes in ground water, or earthquakes.
Thick, massive beds have characteristic polygonal cracks produced by tensile stress and exposed by weather processes. Many theories exist regarding the origin of polygonal cracks, including thermal contraction, moisture cycles, and the drying process of these sediments.
