Friendly Faces, Part III: LED Mouth Light

This LED Mouth Light is terrible at being an LED Mouth Light. It is not comfortable to wear, it makes you gag almost constantly, and for full effect you have to walk around with your mouth open like some kind of mouth-breathing neanderthal. What it is good at though, is having a really friendly face. Look how happy he is!

Since his four LED teeth light up when you press his nose, it's like he's wearing a Mouth Light. A Mouth Light wearing a Mouth Light! What's really fun about this is that the bits that fit over your teeth could be interpreted as either bizarre ears, or arms. I prefer arms. It makes him look so much more excited.

Are you alright, Wikipedia?

It sometimes really amuses me when a page on Wikipedia is badly written or contains little irrelevant bits of information that haven't been taken down yet. This page I just found while working on a new post for INT. A CINEMATIC MIND - NIGHT has examples of both.

"Shooting star is a common name for the visible path of a meteoroid as it enters the atmosphere, becoming a meteor. As it enters the atmosphere the meteor burns and vaporizes. If the meteor survives the entry and lands on the surface of the Earth, it is classified as a meteorite. If a meteor hits earth it becomes a meteorite. Nick ate lead paint as a kid"

Friendly Faces, Part II: Shop Vac

This Shop Vac is also a happy seal. He flicks his tongue back and forth.

LEGO sets based on The LEGO Movie!

I recently talked a little bit about The LEGO Movie that is coming out early next year, as well as the possibility of sets being based on the movie. If you haven't done so yet, you should check out the trailer for the movie, and then read that post I did. I guess I'll get a chance to get that cowlick hairpiece after all! It was announced today that they'll be making LEGO sets based on the movie.

Part of the press release also said that there will be a new line of 16 collectible minifigures based on new and "new again" characters from the movie. I don't want to get my hopes up, but between the sets and the 16 collectable minifigures, maybe we'll get to see one of my favorite characters from the trailer...

Bring on that 1980's-something space guy!

My Custom Classic Space Minifigure

Using my flea market LEGO minifigures and photoshop, I made this Classic Space figure in the style of the original minifigures.

Obviously the logo is just put on there with photoshop, but I'd love to get a Classic Space sticker so I can actually make it. It would actually be even closer to authentic, because I think the original minifigures only had stickers instead of printing.

Probably the worst fortune cookie fortune I've ever gotten.

Especially since I am a loyal fan of Hunan Beef and Wonton Soup.

No thanks, fortune cookie. No thanks forever.

I'm off to see Man Of Steel this weekend!
