kallowayWIP, got the wing assembly done and took a quick, badly posed picture:
Oberon and the Blue Estailev tied when I did that poll back in February. A coin flip had me do the Estailev first, so I'm building Oberon now. Reports of the wing connectors being fragile are no joke and unless I figure out something to support the weight, I probably won't keep the wings on for display.

May. 27th, 2026 02:51 ampattroseWhich birthday was your worst one and why? Who did you spend it with and what did you do?
Hubby and the kids decided to throw a birthday party for me on my 33rd birthday. My best friend lived four hours away from us and they couldn't make it. It was a wonderful day until the phone rang at 8:00 that night. It was my best friend Gena, telling me her 10 year old daughter drowned. My birthdays never meant much to me from then on. Jennifer was my God-daughter. To this day I don't care about the day.

May. 27th, 2026 02:32 ampattrose23. When is the last time you ate fresh pineapple – did you prepare it yourself?
About two weeks ago. Hubby always prepares it for us. He's really good at preparing it.
24. If you had a pet dog, what name would you give it? What’s the weirdest dog name you’ve heard?
My sister has a dog named Ranger, and I like that name. We have a granddog named Ryder, and love that one. I don't think any names are weird. Different but not weird.
25. It’s estimated that gaming now holds around an 11% share of the global entertainment market. Have you ever played an electronic game (on your phone, computer or a game console)?
I don't play games. Never saw any reason. To do it. Oh wait. Sam used to have a game called the sims and I played one day. If I remember right, it was pretty fun. Does anyone play sims?
26. When you look up into the sky, can you identify any of the cloud formations, such as Cumulonimbus, Cirrus or Stratus?
No, I can't tell you about camycloud formations.
27. Have you ever tried box breathing? It is an effective way to calm yourself if you are feeling panicky or overwhelmed. I'm not familiar with box breathing. I calm myself down with deep breathing exercises. That works for me.
What is box breathing? Box breathing, or square breathing, is a simple, powerful relaxation technique that reduces stress and improves focus by inhaling, holding, and exhaling for equal counts of four. It works by calming the nervous system and regulating the body’s fight-or-flight response, making it an effective, portable tool for improving focus and reducing anxiety.

Hello everyone just touching base
May. 27th, 2026 02:09 ampattroseI just wanted to post to let you know, everything is fine. I'm so busy with doctors and doing research that the time is flying by. I have seven big doctors appointments in June. Between the 1st and the 17th. Man, I'm sick of doctors. But I'm hanging in there. I went to work on my In To a Bar. Story and I can't focus. I'm hoping I won't have to drop out. I need some luck with a side of concentration. Could someone send that to me? Please? 😂 I hope everyone is doing well. It's hump day already. Where does the time go? Tomorrow I'm going to try and find some new jokes to post. I think I finished all of them. Maybe I'll look tonight.

1991 was one of the years with several contenders, but I knew I had to get some early Sarah McLachlan in here.

12 Week Year WAM Week 09
May. 25th, 2026 07:10 pmandersenmomWeekly Score: 70.8% 17/24
Goal 1: Increase my spirituality. 68% 13/19
Review: I'm doing better at this. Not great, but better.
Goal 2: Write a blog article each week. 100% (3/3)
Review: I have, in the last couple of months, written more about grief than I have in years. It's weird, because it's not just losing people. I didn't realize it was so encompassing.
Goal 3: Make deck available for use. 50% (1/2)
Review: It's going slowly, but I've reached the point I can actually get to the door to open it, and I can start working on the deck itself. Wahoo!
Intentions for the future: G1 - Set up a routine and stick with it, both morning and evening. G2 - Write another blog post. G3 - Move things around in the bedroom to make a path to the door clearer. Then I want to assess what the deck looks like, and what I need to do to make it comfortable.

Crates
May. 25th, 2026 09:22 amkalloway
I ordered a brown AK paint marker solely to paint these crates, because I had absolutely no brown, apparently. No brown in the other marker sets, no brown paint. This is both baffling, because it's a pretty common color, but also not surprising because I first started painting Transformers for customs/character-swaps, and then moved on to Gundam and models and those all need brighter, shinier colors... So, finally, brown. Also grabbed a nice orange that's probably 99% for Blue Frames.
Crates were not the only thing I worked on over the weekend, but they were something I kept coming back to. I'm not sure what scale they're meant to be. Probably 1/35 or 1/48? But I can do whatever with them. All five were in a bag for $1 at SEMMEX so I feel like however they turn out and whatever I do with them, I got a good deal.
Nothing else to report. Have some plants ready to give away, and dug stuff for next weekend's nerd show out of the closet.
Supergirl Summer 2026 > Prompts Needed!!
May. 24th, 2026 12:23 amflareonfury
In honor of the release of Supergirl (2026) film on June 26, 2026 over at
![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png){kind=small}
supergirl_tv we're going to have a drabble/promptathon/prompt meme (whatever you want to call it) focused on Supergirl (any universe). So from now until June 25th, comment here with prompts & I'll post a masterlist by June 26th at
supergirl_tv. That gives us about over 5 weeks submit prompts and then a free-for-all to grab the prompts and start writing. There will be no "claiming" or "signing up". You basically have the rest of the Summer to write something for these prompts to help us celebrate the new movie!PROMPT AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE AS YOU WISH! THE MORE THE MERRIER! You want a full sentence or song title or whatever go ahead, or you can just do simple one or two worded prompts. If you have more than one prompt for a pairing or character, please separate by a comma (such as Barry Allen/Kara Zor-El - bed, kiss, sing battle). More than one prompt can go in a comment; If you're still unsure how to do it, check out my comment below for ideas.
More information here + Comment with prompts!!
