Boba Fett 3D Perler Bead

I have gotten a little bit better at making these Perler bead designs stand up. I know I said I was in semi-retirement but I have a coworker that is really into Boba Fett and Star Wars and since she is cool as shit to me and makes work more enjoyable I decided to make this for her.

More New Plants


Yesterday Cam and I headed to Burbank and got some more plants from Lucy. I love her plants. I repotted most of them and was afraid that I would need some more dirt or perlite but ended up repotting older plants, moved some stuff around, and everything worked out fine. I baked the old dirt because gnats are real in these streets, and finished everything up. One of the plants is a plumeria which I hope does well because the full versions of them look great. Got flowers and everything. I also got a dragon fruit. I don't think my body is ready for it. I thought it just had the same name as the fruit but it turns out that it is the same thing. I am making sure it stays stable so it gets big and I can eat some crazy ass fruit I've never had. I also have a regular aloe which I hope does well. There is also the strange one in the middle that has already stabbed me a couple times because I did not respect its hussle.

Fun With Pixlr (Photoshop) Part 73

Yay Pixlr has still not gotten rid of the best feature! That means I still get to put myself in weird images...for now. You can also watch my hair grow, get short, and grow again. You know the drill. Click here for previous Fun With Pixlr.

Plant Update



As you all may know I have plants. A lot of plants. A month or so ago I stained the shelf all the way on the right and loved it. I was annoyed having it so bright compared to the other two. Believe it or not these are all the same named shelf from IKEA but the one in the middle that I got from Camille is far more sturdy. Guess the quality dropped over the years. I have over forty plants now and want more but need to figure out where I would even put them.


I also have the palm and ficus. The ficus is doing well and barely loses leaves anymore and is getting wider. The palm is not doing too well after a random millipede invasion that lasted weeks. They didn't even come from the plant but showed up through cracks in the wall and bee-lined it for the palm. I had to starve the plant to keep it from being interesting but I think it suffered because of it. I may just got another one or something else that likes my place more. So far flowers, wispy light plants, and this palm do not enjoy my apartment.
