Found a photo of me being a Moth Breeder in an episode of the sci-fi series Lexx: The Dark Zone. Also found halloween costume inspiration...where is my purple jump suit?

Costumed as a Moth Breeder from Lexx. A man wears a purple body suit with a black halter, the Lexx emblem, a silver swirl is featured on the halter. His face is covered with a purple make-up and he wears red contacts. There is a circuit board head piece. On his right shoulder is the head of a robot.

Okay Lund, you were freakin' lovely. A maze of Medieval housing, shops, and a stunning University library...also tasty beer, coffee, and cardamon buns.

A photo of roof lines in Lund Sweden. In the foreground a yellow, one story shop, with a green door and two square windows. It meets a slightly larger yellow shop at ninety degrees. Both have brown slate roofs with skylights. To the right is a white building with a peaked slate roof. The white building has a single window centred where the roof of the second yellow build meets it. Behind this and higher to right is the tower top of the Grand Hotel. To the left of that are three of the hotel's dormer windows.
