Star Trek: The Original Series — we’re on TV this week and on our way to Sector Z-6 to breach the neutral zone and travel into the Romulan Star empire. But first we cruise… As we try not to think about someone possibly taking a dump on the other side of the view screen. (Whaaaat?)So as I was doing research for building the TOS Enterprise bridge (Photoshop and After Effects) — I ran across a blog that ponders whether the bridge itself is rotated 36 degrees. So the folks on the bridge face 36 degrees port. What, why? The blog includes a blueprint of the Enterprise bridge that shows not only is the bridge looking to the port side of the Enterprise, there is a toilet just to the right of the view screen. If you’re sitting on the toilet you will be the only person facing the front of the ship. Just process that, presumably someone was relieving themselves as the Enterprise initiated first visual contact with the Romulans. And that dude or lady was seated facing the actual front of the ship. Presumably when the Enterprise fights General Chang in the Battle of Khitomer, someone could have been relieving themselves as the ship was pummeled with torpedoes and Shakespeare. As the crew looked for signs of a cloaked ship in the view screen, someone just to the right could have been dropping off a ****. Amazing.And I know the later example is a new Enterprise and maybe the powder room isn’t in the same spot. Let me have this. CRYHAVOOOOC

Watching a Johnny Cash Movie from the Projection Booth...Ambience
Theater projection booth ambience — the feature film is Five Minutes to Live from 1961 and starring Johnny Cash and Ron Howard. This episode also includes just about everything else I loved of that era in theater and film. There will be the pre-movie sirens call for Lobby refreshment and money back guarantees for those who have gotten too much suspense from Hitchcock’s Homicidal. And some Gregory Peck greats as we’re treated to trailers for Guns of Navarone and On the Beach (which still feels pretty fresh for our turbulent world, unfortunately).Take a mental break in the projection booth… Just don’t forget to look out for the cue dots.This episode’s cover uses an original photo by Diego Ramirez.

Check Out My New Wash!... Ambience
New washing machine, normal wash setting. And hey, this is a sequel of sorts to the infinity dryer episode a couple episodes ago. Our old washer/ dryer had to be replaced after a belt snapped. Our washer dry was so old it could remember when McDonald’s tried Pizza. There were only three Star Wars movies when our washer/ dryer were working on socks and sheets. I think I mentioned most of this in the last details. I’m really just typing until this episode description looks long enough to appear thoughtful. Your mind will just see these well fed paragraphs and be like this doofus is probably insightful but I’m not going to double check by reading anything. And what would there be to say aside from I stuck a microphone up to the washing machine window and pressed record? Oh! I do like the font, Capitana used on the episode cover, it has a really fun 80s feel that is really showcased in how it handles numerals — only other thing I have going on is the visual ambience channel on youtube (give us a subscribe)!

The Wet and Whirring Mystery Machine… Ambience
Watery whirring faucet machine — This week’s episode revolves around a mystery, but I promise it’s not made out of people. It’s just a whirring watery wonder.

I got a new dryer!… ambience
LG Dryer Cycle — A better title for this would be, "our dyer that dated back to the Clinton administration kicked the bucket." We limped along for years with that thing whining. Literally, it needed a belt replacement and it was covid times and we were like… the squealing noises aren't that terrible… And last month the belt snapped and we sent that old pos to Valhalla.
