“New Hope #91″

Black, white, silver…
with white edges.

I went to the dentist for a cleaning on Friday, and I’m happy to report that I’ve never had a cavity.

New Hope #89 & 90; misc. vacation photos & MORE!

“New Hope #90″

There’s a tiny personal story connected to this painting.
I like my peace and quiet when I paint, so I usually wait until Nes is asleep or at work.  I was running late while painting #90 due to some new custom colors I blended specifically for this piece.  Nes walked in on [...]

“Koopa and Banana” photo set

Koopa was being super-cute this morning, and I took some photos of it. 
Nes got up for work around 5:30, and I got up to make his lunch a few minutes later.  Koopa decided to sleep under the wine rack in the kitchen last night, so I guess I disturbed him when I turned [...]

RRoD, contacts, NPB, copycats & bliss

I’ve had an eventful couple of days.  My XBox 360 got the Red Ring of Death (RRoD) so I’ll need to send it to Microsoft for fixing.  :-(  The timing is OK though.  I’m playing MGS4 on PS3, so that should keep me busy for 6 weeks or so.  If this paragraph didn’t make any sense to [...]

The Koopa Sutra (18+) XXX

“Phoebe” has arrived from Phoenix, and I’m happy to report that it was love at first sight for Koopa.

As you can see, Flo is exactly like Phoebe but darker, lacking a head, and missing chunks of shell.

I wonder how this post will affect my ratings.

“New Hope #88″ & WDW day 4

Magic Kingdom was our fourth and final Disney Park.  It was a day of sporadic rain and short lines.  We ended up seeing everything well before the park closed.

We thought this little guy from It’s a Small World looked an awful lot like Carrot Top:

One of the passing T-storms:

OMG, Mickey & Minnie [...]

“New Hope #87″ & WDW Day 3

Thanks to all who emailed me with migraine remedies.  Nes brought me some Excedrin Migraine, and it actually worked! Aspirin and Aleve both did nothing.
New Hope #87″ should make someone pretty happy because the photos came out awful.  It’s much more balanced and rich than the photos show.

Here’s the long awaited Disney World Day 3 [...]

“Vegetation #3″ & AeroGarden week 11

I have a migraine, so looking at the screen hurts.  Just photos for tonight’s post.

“New Hope #86″ & WDW Day 2

#86 is very sparkly!

Day 2 of our trip brought us to Epcot, my favorite Disney park.  I like the educational sciency stuff.

Soarin’ was fantastic – we rode it 3 times!

Epcot’s futuristic greenhouse features hydroponic gardens suspended in midair.

Papaya trees:

This pumpkin is being trained to grow in the shape of Mickey’s ears:

90 degrees and humid…so sweaty.

It’s [...]
