ZIM:

Some of the Invader Zim Figure Dioramas that I have customized and put together since this past Christmas season. I will discuss these soon in a future blog. Zim figures were produced by Palisades Toys (no longer in business) and by Hot Topic. Invader Zim was created by Jhonen Vasquez.

My computer:

I just set up this room, the wall displays, posters, and a computer station. This is where I write my blog. I use this room also at the moment to hold my collection of approximately 3500 soda cans which I have collected and have been given to me over the last 30 plus years.

Pepsi Logo:

And talking about soda cans ...have you seen the new Pepsi logo? I saw some prototypes on a Flickr photo site a while ago. Personally, I do not like the logo design or the 70's typefaces. Nothing new or exciting here. To me, it looks like a Japanese sun hovering over a blue whale! Whoops ...sorry Japan. I do love most things Japanese; but not the killing of whales! Let me know what you think about the new Pepsi design?

Whale Season:

And mentioning whales. I thought you would like this photo of a leaping Humpback Whale that my wife photographed while on a catamaran off the north shore coast of Oahu, Hawaiian Islands in February. The beach in the background is approximately where they shoot some of the Lost TV series beach scenes.

Cock-a-doodle-doo:

Someone threw out this cast white metal garden Rooster a couple of years ago. I rescued it, and I just got around to hand painting it. I am going to install it on the roof cupola peak of my new sunroom.
