Machine Month Ends Today
I’m pleased to report that Machine Month comes to a close today. We’ve been logging major hours at the day job plus doing the creative work and keeping you entertained throughout the week here on this blog and elsewhere.
I’m tired.
Four-day weekend starting tomorrow. I plan to recharge and get a certain book out to you.
I have a plan.

Live Stream No. 2: Marvel Legends Retro Action Figure and Hotwheels Shopping
We’re back at Dollarama because they restocked their Marvel Legends action figures. Last night I found some good ones so thought I would take a collectibles shopping trip today.
We did find some cool Hotwheels. 5-pack. A shorts reel to come.

Mishaps in Collecting
Mishaps in Collecting
As you can see from the picture, I had a mishap in collecting this week. The item came damaged with the bubble that contains the action figure mostly peeled away from the card.
Now, if I was the kind of collector that opens their stuff and puts in on display, it’d be no big deal. But I’m an in-package displayer/collector. I want my figures and their packaging to be as mint as possible.
The good news is the replacement figure is on its way as of this writing. I might even have it by the time this blog post airs. This figure for sure is getting a shorts video. Anyway, gotta make sure I ship the damaged one back. Mishaps in collecting happen.

A.P. Fuchs Live No. 1 Bookshelf Tour
A.P. Fuchs Live No. 1 Bookshelf Tour
So on Friday night, I decided to experiment with YouTube’s live stream feature. I’ve never used it before so hopped on the app and poked at some of the buttons to see what did what and what the interface looks like. Things seemed simple enough and we were able to get things going. To make the video interesting outside of me yapping at the camera and pushing buttons, I gave a brief tour of my home library along with some of the collectibles cluttering the shelf.
The plan is to revamp the studio for 2024 and all those collectibles like Funko Pops! etc. that require a shelf for display will be moved into the studio and current swathe of action figures covering the studio walls will be replaced with some new ones along with the shelving.
I also plan to do some other cool things with the studio when redecorating and I’ll share them with you when I do a 2024 Studio Tour video. Here’s the 2023 Studio Tour.
Anyway, this was the live stream and bookshelf tour. I plan to do more but one thing at a time.
Be sure to subscribe for pop culture and book and comic goodness!
2024 Studio Changes
2024 Studio Changes
Well, I’ve been working in the same space for almost five years. This is the only room in the house that accomodates my desks and equipment to bring you books and comics and a pile of other stuff.
However, it’s time to change the decor and shuffle things around. Depending what Melinda says, I might even be able to free up an additional 2′ x 6′ area that’s presently occupied within the studio. As well, with a new studio layout comes new decorations so I’d like to showcase the studio as it is right now one more time before we say farewell to this version and change things up for 2024 and beyond.
Here’s the teaser I shot to hint at the tour:
And here is the tour itself. Hope you tune in when the 2024 studio changes kick in and all is complete and a tour is given.
See you inside.
Some Thoughts on Blogging
Some Thoughts on Blogging
Just sitting here thinking about blogging. It’s considered a great sin in the blogging world for a blogger to blog about blogging. But, every now and then should be okay, right?
To be honest, I don’t have much to add to the idea of blogging or what a blog is. I mean, what is a blog anymore? A long, long time ago in an Internet far, far away, blogs were basically public journals where writers–pro or hobby–could express thoughts and opinions on whatever topic, post it up for the world to see, then hope someone out there agrees with them.
I’ve been thinking about this blog here at Canister X, the Realm of Heroes and Monsters. It’s not really a blog, is it? I mean, kind of. It’s runs on a WordPress engine so thus a blogging platform. The site’s divided into sections and pages, I have the main window of this place to share whatever I want on any given day, and I try and encourage you to explore the site because there’s lots here from articles, to comics, to artwork, to videos, to podcasts–I mean, we’re not really blogging anymore per se. We’re not journaling or running a series of articles on a topic as our main thing either. We’re just sharing art and writing and hoping to entertain and inform you. That’s it.
This site–this place–is more a multimedia hub than a blog-blog. And that’s how I’ve been viewing it for a while: A place of free entertainment and a celebration of pop culture, superheroes, and monsters.
Just some random thoughts this early Sunday afternoon (the time I’m writing this).
Well, let’s just go forward step by step and take it from there.

My wonderful friend down in Colorado, Dana Schaff, sent me these Hotwheels as a gift. He sent me a pic of them and asked if I had them and I said no, so he sent them to me all the way up here in the Great White North. What’s inside? Watch and find out because I have no idea!
