The Alex I grew up with. The man.

This week Al Yankovic turned 60. Happy Birthday, sir, thank you for being a significant part of the soundtrack that shaped me as a kid. I learned about so many bands through his parodies on the Dr. Demento show via my transistor radio. If they ever honor the good Doctor Ruth Westheimer with a Pop figure, I will honor her next for teaching me many things via that transistor radio too.

Rest in Peace Mr. Mayhew. Though very brief, it was a pleasure meeting you.

I had a special request for a group shot of vintage Strawberry Shortcake figures. What do you think? Twenty-two figures, 2+ pounds of strawberries and some (pound) cake, shot with a 60mm macro lens, ten separate photos stacked togther to create a detailed depth of field for the front figure to ones in the back. Got any toys or keepsakes you want photographed, drop me a note.

Working with 45-year-old eyes and these figures was infuriating. That is all.

The stuffed Berner has been here for three years; we used it to tell the kids Josie was joining the family, then in photos with the dogs, Argus found it sitting on a shelf when no one was looking it and stole it. I would have thought it would have been the end of the stuffed one, but turns out Argus just wanted to cuddle. Tune in tomorrow for Argus’s first birthday post.

I loved this movie, one, for the geek stuff, Marvel can do little wrong in my eyes and two, I believe more movies need to be based in the ’90s. To celebrate how about a horrible, cheesy photoshopped scene of a Captain Marvel. You are welcome.
