Good Night....


                                                     How about a song....???

                            a cool little clip that we ran across... Sweet Dreams, Kiddies....
 

Walpurgisnacht.....

            
Night of the Witches' Feast.... Walpurgis Night.... a time that the "barriers" between worlds is at its thinnest.... a time that "things" from the Darkness might creep into our world for the night....
  

 
                                         The Disney film Fantasia, told of this Night...

And till the light of tomorrow's Dawn they are free to roam about ... so beware the night, Kiddies....

                  

Another Birthday.....


         Carolyn Jones who gave such a wonderful performance as Morticia on the Addams Family....
                                        ... She was also born on this date...
                  

                    A favorite character of Lady Emma (of Little Gothic Horrors) as well.....
                                                   Another favorite since childhood....

Godzilla First Shown on This Date....

                
                  on April 30th, 1956.... the World was introduced to Godzilla...
                         
                                                 Shown here (with his creator)....
      

With Raymond Burr as the (American) "star" of the film..... But, the Real Star of this film is Godzilla....!!! Awesome when we first saw this one one TV as a kid...!!!
 
  
     

a bit More with the Munsters...

 
                               
and for your viewing enjoyment a little-known "lost" Pilot-Episode of an attempted "relaunch of the series... Lily is replaced (as is Eddie)... But Grandpa is there... (and in color)...
                 Not a bad replacement for Lily... and the dark tone of Humor was still present...

                                  We do miss the great personality of Al Lewis....
         

Happy Birthday Granpa Munster....

                
on this date ,  the great character actor Al Lewis was born... he first delighted viewers in "Car 54, Where are You"...  But is best remembered as "Grandpa" on the Munsters....

                      He was known for his great sense of Humor... his memory will live on...
We always enjoyed him on that show (his lab,... and  He Was "Dracula" himself !!!) Cool character !!
                  
  We even have the 1/6th scale (12 inch) action figure ...!! (paid more than a bit for that one...)

Ran an Odd Captain Last Night...

an evil little Train.... (worked him up to 6th level for equipment.... his Jet-rocket fire up from out of its "smoke-stack") We based this (using another creator's "train" design, on an image from Richard Corben , in his comic tale "the Slipped Mickey click-flip")
 
  
                                                        A fitting tune for this Captain....

Still been at Spore...

My Spore Empire is advancing nicely... Spice-Worlds (Pink and Purple, the most expensive) are what they are doing to their part of my Galaxy.... they find world... and then T-3 terra-form it as a Spice-World... Each T-3 world has 3 Full "City-Colonies"... and a T-3 world produces 30 units of Spice each time... Been placing "claim" to a world ... allow an "assisting" Empire terra-form it and then return to place my Cities... a slow process.... (as well as they randomly place Life upon the world that they encounter then off to more worlds.... including removing "cute , or "pathetic" creatures from worlds... replacing them of that planet with a creature from their cargo.... thus make worlds of "Monsters" of my choosing.... So "playing with my "Monsters"...
 
had to quit at Spore for a bit (just take a break).... Octopus Empire has more Spice-Worlds now...
Doing all that I can to keep my Octopus Empire going (for now)... they tend to "Crash" (or say it "saved" gamy-play, when it did Not).... so they will have to be Deleted... So, enjoying them while we can ( with "frequent" game-saves, to ensure progress)....
 
                                Already had to delete this Empire ... (helped very little)...
Going to pick a Captain and enjoy a bit og Adventure (rather than "Empire) play for the evening...
                                       Listen to a bit of music a try to relax... (not sleepy)...
                             Will play a "mix-tape" (of some cool tunes)... and run my Captain....

                                                          and a fresh pot of Coffee...

been at Spore....

                  Still working on my Octopus Empire... expanding their spice worlds...
                                    This is the new sector that we have been working at...
                                Now just to connect these sections with their other worlds...
                                             Still working at it.... slowly making progress....
               This much more done before sleep... (add Cities to the remaining worlds tomorrow)
