Pinup Robert Downey Jr. is proof that there’s a Tumblr for everything. Take old illustrations of pin-up girls, hastily Photoshop Robert Downey Jr.’s mug onto them, and voila — instant, disturbing entertainment!

Videogames vs. Real Life
I liked this bit from a Dorkly comic looking at the differences between how we act in videogames and how we act in real life. But hey, paper cuts hurt, man — especially if you follow up with hand sanitizer.

It took me a moment to recognize them out of their costumes, facial hair (where applicable) and usual setting.

Today’s the last day of my secret side trip. I thought I’d drop a few more hints of where I am and what I’m up to. I got up, had some noodles for breakfast and got dressed, as you can see above. I rather like this look.

My local benefactors are wonderfully generous. Not only did they give me a place to crash, they even loaned me their “beater” car! It drives like a dream, and my only quibble is that the GPS could stand to have a much better user interface. If that’s not a First World Problem, I don’t know what is.

It took me a half hour to reach my destination, and it took me half that time to find a place to park.

Between the parking lot and my destination, a poem.

I spent from 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in a place that had the view pictured above.

Afterwards, a coffee break at a little boulangerie, some more walking about, and then dinner with friends.

Tomorrow, it’s an early bird flight to Tampa and back to Anitra. Tomorrow night, we’re going to be like this.

I’d be really worried if I finished putting together my IKEA hadron collider and still had a few extra parts at the end.
I’ve been getting emails and Facebook messages asking about the Secret Side Trip I’m currently on. I thought I’d share some photographic hints.

To make things a little easier, here’s another hint: I took the colour photos. The black-and–white ones are simple Google Images finds.

Another hint: at the time of this writing — 11:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, which is not necessarily the time zone I’m in — the temperature is 13 degrees C.

I took both colour photos in this post yesterday.

Also noteworthy: there are a lot of bicycles and cafes in the area.
I’m having fun here, and I’ll eventually be able to tell all. In the meantime, have fun guessing!
Actually, there’s no such episode, but you’d never know from this still from this wardrobe/makeup test footage on the upcoming Star Trek: The Next Generation blu-ray disc set. There are more details in an interview with LeVar “Geordi LaForge” Burton on i09.
