A little while ago I heard about the coming of Equestria Girls, an offshoot of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic that reimagines the cast as human teenagers.

All I wonder about this is if the rest of the "funny animal" cartoon franchises will follow suit...and what it means if/when they do.

What happens when Felix de-Cats and Mickey de-Mouses? Will the Tunes stay Looney with Bugs, Porky, Daffy, Wiley E., and Speedy as shaved apes? Does Darkwing need to be a Duck to Get Dangerous?

What are your thoughts?

Sagittarius Horoscope for week of May 9, 2013

Charlie Parker was a great jazz musician. As a saxophonist and composer, he was an influential innovator. Unfortunately, he also had an expensive heroin addiction. It interfered with his ability to achieve financial stability. There's a famous story about him showing a bystander two veins on his arm as he prepared to shoot up. "This one's my Cadillac," he confessed. "And this one's my house." I'm bringing this up, Sagittarius, in the hope that it will provide a healthy shock. Are you doing anything remotely like Charlie Parker? Are you pouring time and energy and money into an inferior form of pleasure or a trivial distraction that is undermining your ability to accomplish higher goals? If so, fix that glitch, please.

I keep asking myself why I can't get interested in anything that could make me some money. I guess that's a fatal flaw in my character.

It took me about fifty days to complete a 1/48th P-40 for the Revell/Gearz National Scale Model Contest.

Sagittarius Horoscope for week of May 2, 2013

Search your memory, Sagittarius, and recall a time when you pushed yourself to your limits as you labored over a task you cared about very much. At that time, you worked with extreme focus and intensity. You were rarely bored and never resentful about the enormous effort you had to expend. You loved throwing yourself into this test of willpower, which stretched your resourcefulness and compelled you to grow new capacities. What was that epic breakthrough in your past? Once you know, move on to your next exercise: Imagine a new assignment that fits this description, and make plans to bring it into your life in the near future.

Probably when I was in training to be a pilot. Which ended in 1992. I hardly remember those times and I've been too far away from that place both physically and emotionally for too long.

...Don't have no money. Besides pocket change, I guess.

The IRS refused my refund and won't let me appeal anymore, like I did in past years. I guess if I stay this poor they may audit me or something.

They've already made their first pledge goal and they're halfway to their first Stretch goal as I write this.

The miniatures will be roughly the same size as the old Battletech Unseen so could be collected by Battletech fans too.

Sagittarius Horoscope for week of April 18, 2013

The famous philosopher John Searle unleashed a witty dig about the famous philosopher Jacques Derrida, saying he is "the sort of philosopher who gives bullshit a bad name." One of your fun assignments in the coming week, Sagittarius, is to do the opposite of what Derrida's work does. In other words, give bullshit a good name. How? Well, you could engage in creative verbal expressions that boost morale and propagate delight and lubricate worthwhile connections. Make up noble fictions that are more accurate and useful that the literal truth. Spread uplifting gossip that heals and invigorates.

The current terrain scale for Battletech is 1/600. It used to be 1/400 but it changed in later editions.

The game Dropzone Commander has downloadable modern city building paper models in their scale of 1/150. So if I want a batch of buildings in Battletech scale I could print them out one-fourth their intended size...and pack SIXTEEN of them onto one sheet!

AUTORIA is a company that specializes in rebadging kits for cars built in Asia. Their target users are those with Daewoos and KIAs who want to somehow redeem their "face" with their neighbors. So the company offers the option of rebranding your car as a TIGRIS with new nameplates and new insignia.

In theory I could rebrand Moonshine in a similar fashion. I'm motivated by the fact that under current Tennessee law, my car is old enough to be sold to a scrapper without the title or other ownership paperwork, thus my car is a possible target for thieves looking for a quick buck. So if I could somehow make my vehicle look newer...or just different enough to make a thief believe that stealing it would be more trouble than it's worth...it would help me a great deal.

Banzai skydiving is a step beyond ordinary skydiving. To do it, you hurl your folded-up parachute out of the airplane, wait a while, and then leap into mid-air yourself. If all goes well, you free-fall in the direction of your parachute and catch up to it. Once you grab it, you strap it on and open the chute, ideally before you hit the earth. This is the kind of beyond-ballsy activity that would be perfect for you right now. APRIL FOOL! In truth, I don't recommend banzai skydiving now or ever. Plain old skydiving is fine, though. The same principle applies in relation to any adventurousness you're considering: Push yourself, yes, but not to an absurd degree.

This is in borderline poor taste in light of what really happened in Florida last week.

What happens to you if your life has been in freefall so long you forget what it is to be grounded? Or worse, believe you have been grounded all along?

In my travels yesterday I saw that the second set of AXIS & ALLIES: AIR FORCE MINIATURES game, BANDITS HIGH, is already out. (The official street date is a few days from now, but some stores have them on the shelves and pegs.)

Nominally, I'd be all over it. Nowadays, with nobody to play against, it's hard to care all that much.

Sagittarius Horoscope for week of March 21, 2013

On the one hand, menopausal women are no longer able to bear children. On the other hand, they often overflow with fresh possibilities and creative ideas. More time is available to them because their children have moved out of the house or don't require as much care. They can begin new careers, focus on their own development, and devote more attention to their personal needs. So in one way their fertility dries up; in another way it may awaken and expand. I suspect that whether or not you are menopausal, you are on the cusp of a comparable shift in your fecundity: one door closing, another door swinging open.

I certainly hope another door is swinging open. I had a dream overnight in which I needed something from my room...and new managers had taken over the building in which I lived and gave me a rough time about letting me into my room or letting me at my own belongings. The people you think are in charge of your life pretty soon won't be--and the next regime won't fall over itself to help you.

Now I have eight different patterns loaded for the eight aircraft carrier models I want to reverse-engineer. Of course, my main two limitations in this endeavour will be funding and patience...with the next one being working space.

As typical, on the first day of the new fiscal month I use two day's worth of bandwidth in the first few hours, doing a mix of things I've needed to do for weeks and thing I don't need to do at all.

I need to go with Dad to AT&T to renegotiate our plans.

NASA used whale oil to lubricate the Hubble Space Telescope and Voyager spacecrafts. There was a good reason: Whale oil doesn't freeze at the low temperatures found in outer space. While I certainly don't approve of killing whales to obtain their oil, I want to use this story to make a point. It's an excellent time for you, too, to use old-school approaches for solving ultra-new-school problems. Sometimes a tried-and-true method works better, or is cheaper, simpler, or more aesthetically pleasing.

There have been times I've wanted to use smoke signals instead of the Internet. The problem is I don't smoke and don't really want to talk to anybody who does.
