I Have Never Before Seriously Attempted To Draw A Car, But I Had To For My Homeboy Herbie.

I have never before seriously attempted to draw a car, but I had to for my homeboy Herbie.

While I can't pin exactly when I first watched the original Love Bug (1968) movie, my best guess 2-3 grade, so I was 7 or 8. It was in the art room, but I don't think this was during art class. Maybe one of those Character Counts pizza parties, I don't remember a lot of other kids being present. A teacher rolled the CRT TV in on one of those tall carts, and pushed in the VHS tape, and not much happened at the time. But genuinely, I think that day changed the trajectory of my life. And that movie never really left my head, just went dormant for a very long time.

Anyway, a couple months ago, I binged all the Herbie movies in a week and now he's one of my permanent blorbos. He's just so shape, and so very friendly. Anything shape and friendly is easy to draw by default, because you can't go wrong, they'd be happy with it no matter what.

Playskool Wagon by Gene Oldfield (1982), Robot Repair, Sacramento, CA. This robot is adapted from a 6 wheel battery operated ride-on toy, the Playskool Adventurer (lower image), with a body made of fiberglass. “Gene Oldfield, mathematician, phycisist and teacher at a Sacramento area university is a happy home-robot tinkerer. His fascination with robotics goes back to the late 1950s. “It was intriguing to see mechanical rats like the ones in the Living Brain running around. That inspired me,” Oldfield said.” – Robot hobbyist: inspired since late 50s, InfoWorld, November 8, 1982.

What I Want To Do: make an analysis on how HAL 9000 achieved status as a legendary film villain while he's actually the Space Odyssey series's most tragic victim, write multiple fanfictions where he's loved and cherished and taken care of the way he deserves to be, consider the many ways this deeply complex and fascinating character can be interpreted based on the books and the film and admire how each and every interpretation is wonderful

Edgar from Electric Dreams was my gateway into discovering the objectum community, and thus realizing I am objectum. But honestly, I should've had that figured out way sooner.

Before I got my current laptop, I was looking at pictures of it online, calling it a sexy machine. I had the fattest crush on him! Although it's possible I was /j back then... I am certainly not /j anymore! Sebastian my love /r

Thank you objectum community for helping my oblivious ass realize my feelings <3
