Just out of curiosity, why is it called a Tucker Tube?

The art is fantastic, the merch is awesome.

I usually only go to Knotts for the scary farm. Not enough dark rides there to satisfy, although the Calico Mine Train is a banger.

Yeah, that's no fun. When we were there on Wednesday, the morning was mostly empty and by five there were more people. But, there's all these out of the way places to avoid them and to sit and watch the Mark Twain float by or hear Snow White make wishes or wonder what happened to the postmaster.

And hilarious.

Wow. That is lovely.

(I don't *need* to. Hahahaha who am I kidding.)

I didn't go to Disney World until I was in my twenties. I got to hit it in '93 for the first time, right before it started shifting. That said, I still love Epcot despite all the changes. I've gotten to the point where I don't even need to go on rides at Disneyland, I just like the ambiance.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the Nightmare franchise myself, and I don't really like the overlay. I go back and forth over which Mansion is the best. I love Anaheim's, and I love the (relatively) recent additions to Orlando's.

It's so cute but it doesn't *need* any more seeds...

The greenhouse section of the queue for the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland

I like the new queue at the Haunted Mansion. At night I love it.

Looking up at the ceiling in the stretching room at the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland

Disneyland was a lot of fun yesterday. We went on the Haunted Mansion a couple of times. I really love those gargoyles.

Wow that is so beautiful! The colors are *amazing* Did you use Tilda Swinton as reference?

Duck legs prepped for a slow cook in two days with sugar, pepper, garlic, shallots, salt and rosemary.

Let the marinating begin! I don't like duck confit all that much myself, but Teresa loves it. She says mine is better than any she's tried at restaurants. So when I get home and see the duck legs thawing out on the counter, I know it's time.

Round sparrow *knows* things about you.

Jacques Freischutz combined art nouveau with the video game Portal 2 to produce this poster featuring the turrets and perhaps a human version of GLaDOS.

Jacques Freischutz made this poster. Portal 2 is still one of my favorite games and it's one of the few I've played multiple times. Combining video games and art nouveau was brilliant.

Share a TV show that raised you.

Holy cow this is adorable.

3 deer in high grass on a hill near Glendale.

One of the coolest side effects of weekly hikes around Burbank is occasionally spotting deer in the neighborhood.

Oh this is so adorable.

Those are all lovely. I like the upper right one the best because it looks like early morning.

Wow. Just... Wow. I haven't been there since I was a teen and that was a very long time ago. This picture is also very, very awesome.

Oh those are so great.

Gong hay fat choi!

A bunch of sketches of floating scooters inspired by a recent trip to Vietnam.

One of the things that amazed me about a recent trip to Vietnam was all the mopeds and scooters. I'd never seen so many. As we were touring around I started imagining (as I am wont to do) a city full of floating ones, and started sketching based on shapes I'd seen.

Innsmouth is such an evocative place and Rob has nailed the look of these ships.

Those ships are so awesome!

Rad.

Wow. I never thought about forgetting to breathe in other mediums... I frequently forget to breathe when I'm fixing errant edges modelling in 3D.

It is. It just took a little bit of surgery that's still healing. Funny, I was immortal when I was younger.
