My toe that is…

The other day I was running up the stairs and I didn’t lift my foot up high enough and I plowed my left big toe full tilt in to a step.  Oh may god… the pain.  I fell to the ground and writhed in pain for a few min and then quickly realized that it was extremely painful to put any pressure on my left foot.  Waking to the living room from the kitchen was really hard to.

I’ve spent as much time as I can with my foot up, resting my toe.  I can hobble around on it now but it’s still quite painful, also, my toe is now very purple and swollen.  My wife thinks I’ve broken my toe and suggested I go to the hospital.  Although we where talking to a friend today that said the hospital won’t do anything for broken toes.  I’ve yet to look in to this statement.  I probably should.  Maybe tomorrow I’ll go and see what happens.  If it’s true and I really did break it… it’ll be the first bone I’ve ever broken.

Suck

Today is my daughters 5th birthday.  Yay!  So today I only worked in the morning so that I could join my family at Boston Pizza for a birthday lunch.  Normally I don’t care for BP but today I enjoyed it very much.  After that we all went pumpkin picking like we do every year at a local farm.  The last few birthdays the farms have had corn mazes for people to run though.  Both my daughter and I love mazes.  I think we got lost for about 40 min. ^_^

Then we went home and ate Boston Pizza lefter overs for supper and had home made strawberry cake for dessert and presents (mostly my little pony stuff).  It was a great birthday and we had lots of fun.

Tomorrow is her party with all her friends and it’s being held at a local horse ranch so it should be fun.  Horse rides and what not.  She’s very excited.

So yeah… Today was filled with birthday goodness.  Yay for being 5!  ^_^

So I’ve posted the first commission out of the long list that I have to do.  It’s of my random squirrel girl.  She doesn’t have a name, mostly I just call her random.  ^_^  It was a great piece to do and I really loved the way it came out.  It got me thinking more about this character and how she’s grabbed the attention of some people.  Enough for others to request more of her.

I never really intended for her to be anything more then a quick big boob pic.  Although I find that even I’ve day dreamed more about other things that she does in her spare time.  Not even sexy things ether.  Just stuff, fun stuff that normal people do.  I think she’s probably the most interesting character I’ve done up in a long time.

It’s a nice feeling when a character just develops it’s self rather then semi forcing ideas.  They feel so much more complete.  I’m really enjoying my random squirrel girl. ^_^

Ever wonder Godzilla’s insides looked like?  How does he produce that fire breath?  Well wonder no further as these vintage scans show just that.  It breaks down Godzilla and how he (she?) works on an anatomical level.  But wait, there’s more!  Not only Godzilla but other Japanese movie monsters have been broken down as to how they’re built.

What’s really cool about this is that it totally takes me back to when I was young.  I loved (and still love) looking at illustrated cut away diagrams.  When ever I came across one I would stare at it for hours and study the workings of what ever it was, car engine, muscle structure, building skeleton, it didn’t matter.  So when I saw this, I was 7 years old again.  Ahhh… what a great feeling ^_^

Guy (and gals too I suppose when shaving legs and such) how often do you need to shave?  I can go about 4 days before I need to shave again because I look like a hobo.  From what I’ve gathered from friends, that’s a long time and some have even said they only wish they could go that long with out shaving.  I knew a guy in college that need to shave every damn day and by the time the day was over, you’d think he never shaved at all.  He hated it.  It crazy to think that if you followed him all day you would be able to watch his beard grow.

I guess it’s good that I only have to shave every 3 to 4 days because I couldn’t grow a beard if I tried…. and I have tried.  I end up just growing some sad, pathetic sparse facial hair.  I thought once that maybe if I let it go for a really long while it’ll be fuller.  No dice.  It just got itchy and annoying and trying to shave it off was pure hell.  So I don’t try any more.  We used to have beard growing competitions in college too.  One month was what you had to get as good a beard as you could get.  I never bothered because I knew it would have been pointless.

So how about you?  Can you go for days with our a blade to your face or do you need to shave by mid morning?

So the DS has games where you can touch witch’s boobs, learn English with sexy anime chicks, shoot milk on to a strawberry a cute anime chick is holding and raise a cute loli bear girl.  What else is there?

How about bum spanking some dog-girl?  Yup… you read that right.  A new DS game called KimokawaE has you working with some cute animal girls from the underworld so they can live properly on earth.  Example?  Okay, well in once case you must discipline a dog girl because she like to pee on poles.  Naughty, naughty dog girl.  I’ve read there is even a bathing mini game to get them use to baths.  HOT!

So yeah… quite possibly the strangest DS game yet.  Oh, and what’s the point/story behind the game?

Who cares.  ^_^
