I drew this the other night with my finger and my iPad while suffering a depressive episode. I wasn’t drawing him to look like I felt… but the scribble style, yes, that’s how I felt.
I talk about this piece in my podcast Made My Day: EP 23 – This Thing I Do.
A while back I decided to attempt to make a large enough Buzz Lightyear shoe that I could add the tread detail on the bottom. Quickly the shoe turned into nearly an entire leg.
Last night I decided to finish this giant leg out with what turned out to be the biggest thing I’ve ever constructed in Minecraft.
Lately in my free time I’ve been making Minecraft skins. It started when I wanted to update my old Buzz Lightyear player skin. Then I couldn’t find a good Tardis that I liked. Same with the Alien from Toy Story and Shaun from Shaun of the Dead. So I made my own. Feel free to download and use!
To download right click on the skin under each display picture and save.
The other day I had a friend in my home office looking around at my Buzz collection. She asked, “What’s your creepiest Buzz?” And it took me a little while to actually think of it. Mexican Buzz is a little off, but not creepy. “Stars and Stripes” Buzz is weird, but not creepy. Then my eyes fell upon a bit of paper laying on a box of collectibles… and I knew I had found the single most creepy item in my Buzz Lightyear collection.
Because I’ve chosen to attempt to blog my collection from oldest to newest, and from crappiest to coolest, it means I end up with a bunch of random stuff that doesn’t fit in a nice little collection. That’s what I’ve been trying to do. If I have a group of related items I put them together. It makes sense and saves time. Who would want to see an entire post on every single pen (or pin) that I own? So here we are. Another unrelated group of Buzz stuff. All of which is currently stored in the clear plastic tub you see in the picture.
Let’s see what we have here, shall we?
This is part three in a series showcasing the many, many things I do not own that are shaped like Buzz Lightyear in some way so as to attract my attention. At least initially.

You know when you’re moving and all of the boxes are on the truck but there’s all this unclassifiable stuff in ever room of the house? Well, that’s what this stuff is. Except it’s the leftovers of clear tub number 2 which I store Buzz Lightyear stuff in the closet of my home office.
The following items are so random that they almost have no association with one another at all. There are a few pens, so I guess they’re a set… but what are you supposed to write about pens. You’re supposed to write with them not about them. I didn’t even shoot a group photo for the top of the post because there is no way I could arrange everything to fit in the frame and look good. And I forgot.
I’m not gonna lie… it looks about as eatable as a urinal cake. Be that as it may I will keep him until my dying day (and beyond). That’s because when I look at this morbid visage of Buzz Lightyear with his sickly looking face and his happy but browning alien friend… I see the day it showed up on my desk next to a giftbag full of goodies from the best Administrative Assistant in the whole world! Jan knew how to give Buzz Lightyear gifts… unlike some people. Not only would you get a bag full of goodies, Jan would make you a punch bowl cake. It’s like a bunch of layers of cake, pudding, cake, goodness, cake and awesomeness. She would always include a card that had little sprinkles in them. Half the time I would forget and they’d fall out all over my lap. Jan was more than an admin… she was like a second mom.
Yesterday was Buzz Books. Today we got kinda books. They’re just a little dash of everything that I could manage to group together today. Folks, today you’ll see giant posters, coloring books, fake Buzz Lightyears and more! Be amazed.
