Olen katsonut uudestaan alkuperäistä Star Trekia. Tämä kohtaus jaksosta The Naked Time on yksi suosikeistani.
I’ve been re-watching the original Star Trek. This scene in the episode The Naked Time is one of my favorites.

A MISTAKE IN THE WORLD
”I watched The Fellowship of the Ring yesterday.” ”Okay?” //
”And I noticed something I hadn’t before: griffins.” //
”In the battle at the end, by those reins, there are griffin statues.” //
”Is it a problem? I thought you liked griffins.” ”Yes, but they don’t belong to Middle-earth. You see…” //
”…griffins, centaurs and fauns come from Greek mythology. Middle-earth with its dwarfs and dragons is based on Scandinavian folklore.” //
”I’ve even heard that Tolkien even criticized C.S.Lewis when he mixed griffins, dwarfs, fauns and dragons in his Narnia series. There surely are no griffins in Tolkien’s Middle-earth!” //
”Maybe the filmmakers just weren’t as particular about this as you and J.R.R.” ”They SHOULD have been!”
Togruta vai twi’lek?
TOGRUTA OR TWI’LEK?
Lumppari näytti minulle @savvyart’in syyskuulle tekemän Star Wars -piirustushaasteen, johon muutoin en vaivautunut osallistumaan, mutta prompti ”togruta vai twi’lek?” innosti minut piirtämään alla olevan. (Niille, jotka eivät tiedä: togrutat ja twi’lekit ovat molemmat humanoidilajeja Star Warsin maailmassa, ja tämä hahmo on kyseisten lajien risteymä. Oikeasti en tiedä, voivatko twi’lekit ja togrutat risteytyä, eikä tällä minun hahmollani ole nimeä tai taustatarinaa, mutta kuvan piirtäminen on hauskaa.)
Snowhorse showed my a drawing challenge by @savvyart. I didn’t bother participating otherwise but the prompt ”togruta or twilek?” inspired me to draw this one. (For those not in the know: togrutas and twi’leks are humanoid species in the Star Wars galaxy, and this character is a mix between those two. I don’t know is twi’leks and togrutas can mix and this character doesn’t have a name or any story but it was fun to draw her regardless.)

DRESS CODE
”I really wouldn’t want to go to that interview. But I guess I have to.” //
”What should I even be wearing there?” ”I’d say some nice regular clothes will do.” //
”Ha! I’ll wear my wizard costume!” ”They’s just tell you to take it off.” //
”Fine. Then I’ll just wear one of those wife-beater-shirts, too short shorts and tennis socks in sandals.” //
”They can’t tell me to get naked, after all.” //
”Probably not.” ”The wizard costume would be more fun, though…” //
”Or you could do this…” //
”Take that stupid wizard costume off.” ”OK.” //
”Put the wizard costume back on. I’m begging you.” ”OK.”
Me, myself and AI
Kävin Eeveen ja parin muun kaverin kanssa Tiedekeskus Heurekassa. Siellä oli tekoäly-piirustuskone, jolla pystyi piirtämään erilaisia naamoja. Tekoälyavusteinen taide on toistaiseksi aika outoa…
I visited Science Center Heureka with Eevee and some other friends. There was a artificial intelligence based drawing machine with which you can draw faces. AI drawing is still pretty weird…
Ensiksi yritin piirtää itseni sarjistyyliin:
First I tried to draw myself in my comic style:
Tämän nimi on ”V*ttu taas maanantai”:
This one I call ”F*ck it’s Monday”:
Hipster wookiee
Jotenka taas juteltiin Lumihevosen kanssa Star Warsista, ja ajatus hipsteriwookieesta tuli esille. Mutta parta toimii just eikä melkein. Lumihevosen versio löytyy täältä.
So Snowhorse and I were once again talking about Star Wars, and the concept of a hipster wookiee came up. But that beard just works. Snowhorse’s version is in here.
Tuo kahvi? Luomua. Kashyyykiltä.
That coffee? Organic. From Kashyyyk.

GEORGE’S FAULT
”Today I will go to sleep early.” //
Star Wars //
”In two hours, at the latest, I’ll go to bed.” //
Star Wars //
”I’ve got work tomorrow. Gotta hit the hay in time.” //
Star Wars //
”That was one hard day. I sure won’t stay up late tonight.” //
Star Wars, Star Wars… //
”It’s only morning, and I’m tired already. Today I’ll go to bed early.” //
Snowhorse: ”So… a hipster wookiee?” ”Haha, yeah!” ”I’m gonna draw this!” //
”I blame George Lucas for my chronic sleep deprivation.”
Tea
Herra Brony tilasi kuvan roolipelihahmostaan Teasta.
Mr Brony commisioned a picture of his RPG character Tea.
Tea on todellinen kirjanörtti ja Sormusten herra -fani, ja lisäksi on käynyt Keski-Maassa ja ollut mukana heittämässä Sormusta Tuomiovuoreen, joten siksi hänellä on Lórienin lehti viittasolkenaan.
Tea is a real book nerd and a Lord of the Rings fan, and she’s also been to Middle Earth to toss the Ring to Mt Doom, so that’s why she has a leaf of Lórien in her cape.

2023 CHRISTMAS SPECIAL
”It’s Christmas again. And, as is the tradition in this blog, on Christmas we talk about Doctor Who.” //
”One of the most important question regarding the show is, of course, ’who is your favorite Doctor?’ So I’m going to answer that now. And no, it’s not David Tennant. Nor Tom Baker. It’s Patrick Troughton.” //
”This fellow. The second Doctor.” ”Hello!” //
”You might ask why. And it’s a fair question. I’ve only seen one story from the second Doctor, ’The Tomb of the Cybermen’, and read some books with him in it.” //
”I think everyone should get to choose their favorite based on whatever criteria they like, and here’s mine.” //
Every time a new actor takes on the role of the Doctor, my reaction is pretty much this: ”And who does this person think they are?” //
”That’s just how it goes. In the end I’ve liked all of them.” //
But with the second Doctor it never happened. He just felt like the Doctor from the start! ”I like this Doctor!” //
”I don’t think there are wrong answers to this question. But this simple reason is why the second Doctor is my personal favorite.”
Doctor Who by BBC
Just a bad badger pun
Opin, että englannin sana ”sett” tarkoittaa mäyrän koloa. Lienee hyödyllinen sana vaikka Bogglessa.
I learned that the word ”sett” means a badger’s den. Useful word in Boggle, I’d imagine.
