David Lovelace
("Jot and Jab", "Parallax")
Favorite LEGO toys/themes: Anything Space-related, especially Classic
Space.
My fascination with LEGO began... ...in 1980. My buddy had all the shiny blue and
grey space sets set
up in his room. I'd never seen clear yellow
pieces. It was an assault
on my senses, and I vowed I'd own them all
one day, even though
Lego was (and still is) expensive for any
ten-year-old. I'd save for
months just to get the 6929 Starfleet Voyager...
I once built... A fifty-pound spaceship about 200 studs long!
I was fifteen. I tried
lifting it, and it completely collapsed under its
own weight! Lost more
than a few pieces from that mess...
Someday I will build... An original new Classic Space set for LEGO.
LEGO is great because... It's as infinitely functional as it is aesthetically
appealing.
LEGO fans are great because... They are all just as sick as me. :-) I thought I
was the only one until I discovered Lugnet
(and ebay) in 1998.
My favorite Non-LEGO Toys: Keyboards & synthesizers
My favorite Hobbies & Interests: Flash animation, cartooning, electronic music composition.
My favorite Foods: Lobster, lobster, lobster. And the blackety-blackest of beers.
My favorite Movies & TV: Apple TV & Netflix... I'll watch anything!
My favorite Artists: Miró, Jim Woodring, Xeth Feinberg (go see bulbo.com!), Louis Trondheim, Dali, Chris Ware, and my own bad self
My favorite Music: '80s music... I'm in an '80s band called Plastica
Words which best describe me: That cartoony guy
I wish I could... find another MISB 6970 Beta-1 Command
Center for $20 at a flea market! That was my
ultimate find!
I hope I never... Rip open any fingers trying to take apart two
2x2 plates. Aargh!!
I wish I hadn't... Taken such crummy pictures of this amazing
robot I built in '85. It was made of 11 separate
ships and was poseable...not that I could ever
prove it. Think "4099 Robobots" on speed.
In my craziest moments... Check out gagmewithaspoon.com for the '80s band....
If I were super-human... I'd time travel back to the 70's and 80's, and
get my hands on some MISB classic
Legoland stuff!
More & Less:
- more Lanes, less People
- more Time, less Debt
- more Pieces, less Juniorization
Rules I try to live by:
- Two hours, every day, for ME.
- One day or night, every week, for ME.
- Every other moment, for my girl. Awww.
Additional comments:
Now that I'm firmly established as a dork,
here's something for the terribly bored
enthusiast: once and
for all, my uniform color theory for Spacemen
rank, task, or role otherwise:
CLASSIC
White: Technician/Driver/Slave
Red: Pilot
Yellow: Away Mission Specialist
Blue: Lab Scientist
Black: Theoretical Scientist, Mission Leader
FUTURON
Red: Cosmic Laser Launch Commanders
Yellow: Everything
Blue: Everything Else
Black: Mission Leader, Star Quest Pilot
BLACKTRON
Black: Killy-kill for everyone!
M:TRON, UNITRON, UFO...
Ahh, who can even tell with these guys.
