Finally: Thor (2011). I love it!

By adding this photo of Thor aka Hemsworth's cut
body, I doubled the traffic on this post. :P
Watching it was like a series of revelations...
  • DUDE! Prince Charming (from once Upon a Time) is the cavalier. Rawr.
  • Aaaaaand of course. They red shirt him. Scratch that, healed. Turns out he's "Fandral". Also turns out he's based on Errol Flynn. I like him already ;)
  • OMG HAWKEYE (I knew it. As soon as the hands didn't choose the sniper rifle.)
  • Lawl. "Is that one of Stark's?" :D
  • Oh, please tell me chucking Volstagg was an homage to LotR's dwarf tossing...
  • Aaaaaad that's why you stay for the goodies after the credits :D
Thor was another comic I had zero contact with growing up. I assigned red-shirt status to the gorgeous cavalier because I didn't hear him have a name when Thor was remembering glories in the Hall. Turns out I just missed it. His wiki (because even superheros have wiki's!) says that Stan Lee based his personality on the persona Errol Flynn had in public. Totally has an unfair advantage over the other characters already.

The movie was awesome. I loved it. Even though the gear looked WAY plasticy. I really liked Loki's character. Yea yea, a little snivelly butt kissing here and there, but he's bangarang in a melee! Tom Hiddleston's a cutie pie too!

Josh Dallas will NOT be reprising Fandral due to scheduling conflicts with Once Upon a Time. Which makes me a sad kitty. Ah so. At least we can watch him buckle swashes there too.
No really! When Coulson called for a gunman, and the hands skipped the rifle for the bow hanging surreptitiously among the other weapons, I suppressed a little butterfly that it might be Hawkeye. I have no particular fondness for him, just his method of whacking. I am a lover of those who buckle swashes and have a good hard wood...bow.
Sorry. Bad archery joke.
I had to add this one; how could you NOT love this shot/scene. Makes me giggle.
Okay, done hero worshiping (lawl) for now.
I'm catching up on the pre-Avengers movies and trying to watch them in order.
Already watched Hulk (2003) and Iron Man, and Captain America is next! WEEE!

Star Trek Diplomas: All of them. I think.

Image
So... StarTrek.Com has released a Starfleet Academy Diploma.  I wanted to see if the design was supported by canon (because I'm a huge fact-check nerd) and in my quest collected what I think to be all the diploma designs officially used on the show. I'm still looking though, so if you find one I don't have here, please leave a comment! Confirmed authentic : Voyager epi "Non Sequitur". It appears to be the first time a diploma had been shown, if rabid Trekkers diligently duplicating it is any indication. If you register at the LCARSc site, you can download a free template to make your own! (ref: http://www.lcarsc.com/entry.php/34-Freebie-Friday-Starfleet-Diploma ) Confirmed authentic:  Enterprise : "Storm Front, Part II" Earlier in storyline, later in established canon. Found via http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Starfleet_Academy_majors Official StarTrek.Com diploma (Released 2012):  I can't find any epi screenshot t

De Groote Museum

Image
 De Groote Museum (The Great Museum) is centered around the concept that everything is connected . It's part of the Artis Royal Zoo complex (like Micropia) but has a separate entrance and fee (included in the Museum Card).  The museum was closed for 75 years (not a typo!) and reopened in 2022. It used to be the  'Main Building' or 'Zoological Museum' for Artis. You can read more about it's scientific use at their website ! ARTIS honorary member and professor of Anatomy Willem Vrolik (1801-1863) gave lectures on the autopsies he performed on animals that had died in the zoo. He published the very first scientific description of various animal species. After the autopsy, the animals were prepared and ended up in the museum. At that time, ARTIS mainly wanted to collect and understand nature, in order to promote knowledge in an accessible way. The main hall has a nice area for rest (and maybe yoga). Everything needs rest! There's a soundscape that plays throug

Classroom Architect

One of my assignments for Intro to Tech for Educators was to design a classroom (to certain specifications). I'm posting it here A: Because it's neat.  B: In case the file upload goes wrong.  C: Look! I made it a science classroom! Look's like the one I had when I was in 7th grade science! Bangarang!
