Hi, I'm Alan. I'm an East Coast-based toy photographer who appreciates campy sci-fi movies, retro gaming, and Disney Theme Parks. @alanrappa on Instagram, Threads, and Flickr.
I mentioned on the latest episode of Baggy Red Shorts (www.youtube.com/live/RU-FqTw...) that I am done with Disney Park Lounges. I love the idea of the lounges, like Oga’s Cantina, but the are run in such a way that makes the experience difficult to enjoy. After my last experience I am done.

Went to check out the new Kura Sushi in town. Had a nice time but they weren’t offering any of the limited time, Persona menu items which was a bummer.
I’ve been watching Breaking Bad clips on YouTube this evening. That show had so many incredible moments but I the entire series was so emotionally devastating that there is no way I can watch it all again.

Today's commute home. Under two hours is a win. Under an hour and a half, even bigger win.
That's a wrap (wash?) on Powerwash Simulator 2. Came for the star wars DLC, stayed and sprayed for over 50 hours. A super satisfying and relaxing experience. So much so that I get the urge to powerwash things in real life now, like these mailboxes I walked by today.

This was the first “job” in Power Wash Simulator 2 that I did not enjoy. So many nooks and crannies that were difficult to see / get to, and the colors made it difficult to find pesky little hidden dirt spots. No thanks, did not enjoy.

Here’s another photo of the Falcon taken with the Ace Pro 2. I had fun shooting super wide with this camera and I’m impressed with what I’m seeing in the images so far.
She may not look like much but she’s got it where it counts. Photo taken with the Insta360 Ace Pro 2. Super impressed with the images that camera captured.

Two movies down on this business trip - He-Man, and They Will Kill You. Enjoyed them both immensely. What to watch next?
In flight entertainment sorted. Excited to watch He-Man. Mando is a perfect movie for a flight, and Project Hail Mary is just the GOAT - I can watch it on a plane, and I can watch it on a train and I can watch it in a box and I can watch it with a fox…
Hold up, how much is this!?!? Can someone explain to me in small words why?
I get about a zillion ads for this sling a day, and I have to admit, they have my interest. I'm not hitting the buy button just yet, but another zillion ads in my feeds and I just might have to. www.saintjavelin.com/en-us/produc...

Finished the Star Wars DLC for Powerwash Simulator 2, and what a cathartic experience. The Falcon was the most challenging of the bunch. All those greebles and nooks and crannies took a ton of time to clean out, but it is finished and I am most pleased with the experience.
Ok, cool. I said I wished there was a 34xxSP version without the thumb sticks, so looks like Abernic is going to deliver. I’m in. youtu.be/cPNj2kYhBGs?...

It’s been a productive day so far with Powerwash Simulator 2. I’ve cleaned an At-At, Star Destroyer, and an X-Wing. All before sunrise. The things you can accomplish when you wake up at 3am.
Also working my way through the Star Wars DLC for Powerwash Simulator 2. It’s so ridiculous yet satisfying that I just can’t stop playing.
Jumped into Denshattack! as a palette cleanser after The Midnight Walk. Needed something colorful and uplifting after all the beautiful sorrow and dread.
I’ve never played Power Wash simulator before, but if you tell me I can power wash a Gonk, then I’m going to power wash a Gonk. This is addictive, OCD-type fun. I am going to wash the entire galaxy.
