Coulrophilia

Image
All the world loves a clown.   That’s the quote, right?   “All the world loves a clown.”   I think it’s actually a lyric from an old Cole Porter song.   All the world loves a clown.   Hmm.   Well, I love a clown, anyway.   No, that’s not quite right.   I’d like to love a clown?   Oh, I’ve got it.   I’d like to make love to a clown!   That’s the one.   Let’s talk about coulrophilia.   Previously On Writer’s Blo(g/ck)… In my last post, I discussed clowns.   I talked about how I wanted to grow up to be a clown, and why I didn’t.   I talked about a bunch of the clown characters that are parts of my stories (both written and yet-to-be).   And, me being me, I even talked about LEGO MOCs that I’d like to build that are clown-oriented.   Most of the clownness that I discussed was centered on male clowns.   I didn’t talk much about female clowns.   And while I did inform you that I didn’t h...

25+ Hours of Christmas Music

No, smartass, the title of this post does not refer to a method of torture used on prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.   25+ hours of Christmas music is a reference to my MP3 playlist of holiday tunes.   Which, given that Halloween is now over, I have already started listening to for the year.         The Music of My Childhood Growing up, there wasn’t a lot of music in my life.   If I went somewhere with Dad, the radio in his pickup was on and tuned to a country and western station.   Mom, on the other hand, always drove radio silent.   The radio was only on in the house on rare occasions, and then, once again, it was playing country music.   Mom and Dad had a large stack of records, but they were almost never played.   I was allowed to listen to music if I wanted… but only country and western.   Dad would not have that ‘rock-and-roll crap’ in his house.   There’s a scene in The Blues Brothers w...

Things I Built for BrickCon 2022

Image
Early tomorrow morning, my friend Kyle and I leave for Seattle, where BrickCon 2022 awaits us.   Now while I have absolutely no plans to write about BrickCon once the event is over and I have arrived back home again, I do feel the need to show off the MOCs that I built for the event.   I decided not to build anything big for this con (and the very first MOC I show you today will prove me to be a liar), for a couple of reasons.   One of which is that the venue that BrickCon takes place in is relatively tiny when compared to the convention hall where Bricks Cascade lives.   The other reason is that there is a limited amount of space in the back of Kyle’s Prius, and with me already taking the new folding electric wheelchair, there’s not as much room for MOCs as there normally has been on these runs to Seattle.   Everything that I did end up building was envisioned to be placed in particular categories at the convention.   These decisions were all in my...
