This bot pretty much sums up my childhood, adolescence, and much of my adulthood (until I discovered audiobooks, of course).
Except instead of 0110111, I’d be reading something with dragons. Or magic. Or werewolves. Or dinosaur detectives.

I may be in the minority, but I think rats are pretty cute. Oh sure, you can blame them for carrying diseases and such… but did you see the little twitchy noses?

So yeah. Happy Canada Day and all that jazz, all. Please don’t be one of those people; you know the ones. The ones that wear the flag as a cape*/dress/loincloth; because you just make me want to stay inside. Which, actually, isn’t such a bad thing. All my stuff is here, inside, after all.
*The cape option might be acceptable if you are under ten.

Well, compared to what I’ve seen on tv, this isn’t exactly an itsy bitsy teeny tiny bikini, but it’s hard to make a tiny square bikini. Although…. it is a robot, so it’s more of a fashion statement than needed modesty.

And art historians everywhere suddenly just got a terrible feeling of dread. Look, it could be worse. I could have made Elvis of Willendorf.
I think I feel a pop culture / art history mashup week coming on…

This one’s in honour of Hannah, because I know how much she loves this look. Here’s a hint: not very much.
Also, if you live in Guelph, Ontario (this is way up here in Canada, folks), you can see both Hannah and I at the Art on the Street Festival. I’ll be there as my alter ego Anatomy of a Skirt, but I’ll have some robots with me too!

This is exactly the face I make when I eat too much of something delicious, but bad for me. And as I approach thirty, “too much” is a heck of a lot less than I’d like. All I know is that I so don’t want to be the person who uses the bathroom after this bot. That’s right, I went there.

Look, I know this isn’t an out-and-outer of a fashion crime. To really pay tribute to the look I saw today, this bot would need a acid wash denim miniskirt and lurid purple mesh tank top to go with those ugg-ly non-summer-appropriate boots. But let’s face it folks. I’m only HU-MAN. I can only make so much fug.
Plus, despite the fact that the mini was more of a micro, and the lurid purple mesh tank was, well, mesh, and purple, we all know those boots are still the worst aspect. Though dare I say it, this bot almost makes them cute.
That is to say, of course, that those particular boots are totally fine in the winter. But on a day like today, when my feet have melted into puddles of flesh only being held in shape by my skimmers, and the pavement has melted my brain to the point where it’s running out my ears, boots are just a no win. Goths must have a high AC bill.

Do you really want a robot telling you the future? You’d be all like “will I marry Prince Charming?” and it’ll be all like “DOES NOT COMPUTE”. At least it’s not a vulcan robot fortune teller. Then it’d be all like “DOES NOT COMPUTE; LOVE IS ILLOGICAL”.
Also, except when it comes to certainties, like, oh, the sun rising, and
Hollywood resurrecting movie franchises that were well enough over and done*, no one knows what’s coming in the great pipeline of THE FUTURE. Though I predict! More Robots.
*okay, fine. Star Trek was pretty good. Better, actually, than the previous movies. Except the one with the whales. But I stand by the rest. Come on, Rocky? Like we needed another of those.

I can’t really blame this bot. Vanilla Dips ARE the best donut (it’s the sprinkles).
