A Little Random

Several things happen between posts. Here's a few!!!

My older boy had his birthday celebration. Once again, the torch has been passed, and he did his own cake. A bit thick on the lettering (he needs to do a smaller hole in the bag), but it was pretty decent.

If you don't know, it's the Black Star logo from Soul Eater.

On a slightly related topic, one of the guys at work was asking me if I was into Manga and Anime. I reply that my boys are, and he starts going on about Bleach and how he's recently gotten into it and how there's like 250 or more of them.

Also related: the boys think they should dress as the brothers from Full Metal Alchemist for Halloween this year. The size scale between them is about right. Geek it up to the max!!!

Something we got him, a pair of Fila Skele-toes. Yes, he only has four toes. Four per foot, that is, he isn't some kind of freak or anything. Well, not a four toed freak, anyway.

Took my younger boy to his first Dodger game today. It turned out to be a real good game, not a shame. They haven't been doing that great this season, but they pulled out a 5-3 win over the Cardinals. Good times!!!

This little doodle is from one of the guys at work. He did a similar one on one of my cover sheets with "EZ $" written next to him. "Easy money!!!" is one of those things I say when I get an easy batch at work (or a difficult one, in scarcasim).

SO, my younger boy had his turn to do some white board artwork. He had no idea what to do, so I showed him this one, and told him to do his rendition. Not bad, and he added a few personal touches!!!

That very day he was doing some Biology or Health homework. Beneath it he drew a pretty good rendition of the human eye!!!

Finally, a little scrap of paper that was in with some product at work. I though, when I first saw it, that it was a picture of a despondent robot!!! Don't know what it actually was, for all I know it might just have been!!!

The Final Piece

Here's the next one we did, another 500 piece puzzle!!!

As you can see, unlike the last one, we managed to get all the pieces in this time!!! It was pretty tricky, too, all those clouds and white water were tough.

A couple of quick random pictures I came across while preparing this, the primary ingredients for my chili (less one bottle of beer, preferably dark and flavorful), arranged in a nice pyramid. The crowning glory of which is a couple of bulbs worth of garlic cloves!!!

Next is a few slices of pizza, artistically arranged. Half of them are pastrami pizza with dill pickle chunks and a mustard base. When they said pastrami pizza, I was picturing more like The Hat, where it would be stacked layers high. Oh well, it was pretty good anyway.

Lastly is this week's whiteboard art, a couple of guys watching the shapes in the clouds. Nice, huh??? Not so much, it was inspired by a segment from Robot Chicken, hopefully the embed works & remains!!!
