aaron's recently started making pitchers of ice tea, which I've been drinking every day. hello insomnia, i thought you'd gone.
Lookie what I got! I’ve been wanting a fish for a while to keep me company at my desk and calm my nerves when I’m having a bad day. So I went and got this pretty pink thing and I’m happier already. I named him Azuki because he looks like a little swirl of red bean ice cream.
He likes to hide in his stand of plastic trees. Or maybe he’s just resting.
He gets very interested when he sees me working and comes over to stare at me. And when I put my finger in the tank he likes to nibble at it. I’m totally smitten.
A little sloth, one of my favorite creatures ever.
Zoinks, I want this!

Also! this Ghost Detector!
From the description:
Despite of the internal complexity, Baketan has a pretty simple looking and is perfectly easy-to-use. You just push a button at a site where you feel discomfort. Baketan starts a detection analysis in the field. It gets over in a few second and Baketan tells you the search result. If a Baketan detects a ghost, it flashes in red and makes beep alarm.
Some helpful hints:
1. Ghost likes to be near water.
2. and the place with poor ventilation,
without fresh air.
3. Ghost can move up-and-down.
Ha!
Eeee! Masks from the super awesome animation studio PandaPanther
I wonder why dragonflies like to perch on the tops of car antennas. I count 4 of them out here right now.
After a pretty crappy, sweltering, unproductive day I wound up having a really good art night, finally! I’ve been a little frustrated lately trying to mix the sort of art I’m used to doing for others with art I want to do for myself. The two things seem so opposed sometimes that I’ve found myself balling up an awful lot of paper lately, which just sucks.
But after a trip to the art supply store for some new markers and such I came home and worked happily for a good long time. Giggling while drawing is always a good sign. huzzah.
I’m totally preoccupied with model makers - you know, the awesome wizards who make the collectible figures we save up to buy. And I’m obsessed with all things tiny, especially when I’m trying to make them myself. Sooo I decided to get some Willow wax (a wax and clay medium similar to Casteline) and do a 1/6th scale head of Mila Jovovich (who I chose because there are just so many pictures of her out there… and well, she’s lovely).
Here she is so far. She looks a little weird all hairless and gray - but if you *squint* maybe it looks like her a little?
I decided to play around with my watercolor pencils again. I tried them before because they promised to combine the two things I love: watercolors and pencils. Hmmm, didn’t really knock my socks off the first go round. But I think I’m having better luck today.
