Lemme just say that Mondasian Cybermen ARE the scariest kind of Cybermen.
And I half expected Roger Delgado or Anthony Ainley under that Zathrus disguise.

Tire stuff
As I was leaving work Tuesday, I started backing up my car in the garage, and immediately felt something was wrong.
Behold!
I went to the garage’s ticket booth, and told the guy that I had a flat. He said that I should call AAA myself, which I did, and after 15 minutes on hold, I got through to a person. She dispatched a technician, who had no problem finding the garage, and my car on the 3rd floor, after another 20 minutes. Another 20 minutes later, and I was on my way with my spare tire in place.
Once I got home, I took a look at the tire, and found a screw in it. Arrgh.
This morning I decided to get the tire fixed, but when I brought it to one local garage, they said that they wouldn’t be able to fix it, because of the location, and that I would need to go to a tire specialist. Luckily there was one nearby, where I had my tires changed out for new ones a few years back.
Upon arrival and inspection, the guys at this shop determined that the screw was too close to the sidewall for a repair, so I had to get a replacement tire, which they ordered and would be available around 2:00 pm.
I decided to take a mental health day at that point.
I took my car back after 2:00 pm, and after giving them the 45 minutes that they said that they’d need to work on it, I returned. They then told me that they found 2 nails in my right rear tire, which they were able to patch, and it would take a while longer for the car to get ready.
I paid for the tire and patch, and went home, wondering if someone deliberately placed those nails/screws under my tires. I’m hoping not.
Ideas
The other Star Wars films I’d like to see:
- Jawas: The Movie – like Minions, but with Jawas
- Boba Fett: heist film, possibly a buddy film with Han Solo or Lando Calrissian
- Ezra/Kanan: show us their fate after Rebels goes off the air
- Cheers-like movie at either Anchorhead or Mos Eisley cantina
- Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes: A Hard Day’s Night or Help!, Star Wars style
- The Battle of Taanab: Google it
- Ord Mantel: what bounty hunter was that, Han?
The Star Wars films I don’t want to see:
- Kenobi
- Yoda
- Lando
- Chewbacca/Wookies
- Sand People
Solo Film
Blogging in Bed: Randomness
I’m about to nod off, because I’m too tired to watch Kong: Skull Island right now.

I still watch baseball, but it becomes painful to watch when your team is bad.
—
People are making such a big deal about Godzilla fighting Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidrah in his next movie, LIKE THAT’S NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE.
—
Too many games to play.

I seem to be adjusting to the progressives well enough.
Armies
I spent a good part of the day rummaging through my gaming materials to find the Warhammer 40K armies that I still own.
Those would be:
For the Emperor!
The 8th Edition of Warhammer 40K came out today, and while I do have hard copies preordered and being shipped to me by the end of the coming week, I decided to go with digital copies as well, mainly so I don’t have to lug the books everywhere if I wanted to read them.
From what I’ve read so far, and from after action reports online, the game plays much faster than before, with very streamlined rules.
I’m looking forward to playing, whenever that will be.
Miniatures
Incoming!
According to the description, the set comes with:
3x B-17; 3x B-24; 1x B-26; 1x B-25; 1x P-51; 1x P-38; 1x P-47; 1x P-80; 1x Spitfire; 3x Bf-109; 2x FW-190; 1x Bf-110; 1x Bf-410; 1x Me-262
I’ll probably paint some if not all of them, at the very least the B-17s.
