One year ago today (Well, yesterday, but I was out). One of the best times of my life. Watching Star Trek: The Motion Picture with people who made it, those who restored it, and those who celebrated it.

The Story of La Conner's late lamented favorite pup, "Dirty Biter."

I've decided that this is a pro-trans statement.

THEY. HAVE. FRIED. CATFISH.

Gets me every time....

When the Remastered Robotech series came out, I was really on the fence about getting it. I have the original DVDs, and those are what I remember as a kid, so it was all I needed.

I eventually bought the remastered series a few years ago to replace my aging original DVDs. They did leave a lot of the original footage that was cut out for the American release so I decided to keep the original DVDs for the original editing.

I never compared them side by side, though. Holy cow, that remastering makes the show look completely different. I'm guessing they used the ADV Macross remaster as the base for Robotech Remastered, but seeing the larger viewing area more saturated colors and TONS less grain was worth the purchase.

Even if I didn't know it at the time, or even notice it till today....

This seems way more threatening than it is....

If I'm going to make Sunday my "eat something nice day" I should probably get something cheap for Sunday meals. Pizza can be expensive, but if I stretch it out....

...oh...oh, my!

Tonight's Episode of Night Gallery is "Tell David."

One of the characters has a "Map Machine" to give directions to a lost traveler. It's neat to see what "Mapquest" would have been like with 1971 sensibilities.

The machine still uses pages, like an atlas, it just scrolls. To look up roads, you have to find the name in table, like in old atlases, then dial in the grid. The directions are miniature incandecent lights, but honestly, that's likely just "It's 1971, and the prop guy has to use what he has."

Funky 1971 Mapquest. :D
