I sure could have used a good pair of safety goggles...*blinkblink*

I just went on the BUGGIEST bike ride ever. SO many bugs. It was like an infestation of fruit flies or something, or maybe they were migrating? 80 degrees with 85% humidity and no wind, so every one of those suckers were sticking to me 'cause I was sticky!! A couple hit the jackpot and went up my nose, and I think a handful of them were camping out in my sport bra...at least that's what I thought when I went to take my shower. Eww! Grr! Anyway, it was gross.

So I'm sitting here trying to recover, eating hommus and pita chips. I'll pay later, 'cause garlic does bad things to my body, but for right now all things are good and crunchy and bug-free. *sigh*

My sister and her boyfriend flew back to Daytona Beach today. Just in time for a hurricane, maybe! What luck. Anyway, like I've said before, she and I have a deep-seated love of all things badly translated and Asian. In the past I've sent these things to her, among other stuff:

It's not bad at first glance...but if you read the directions you'll see that these tattoos are in fact "Faffoos".  Later they become "fattoos".  Which is even funnier.  I guess the lowercase "t" and "f" look awfully similar to the Chinese manufacturers who made these things.  It cracks us up every time.

So today before she left, Nancy gifted me with this:

Benign Girl Super Telephone!!  Beautiful girl press any button!  Oh man, that's the best Engrish toy I've ever seen.  When you press the buttons it SCREECHES at you unintelligibly...totally hilarious.  It's going on my shelf of many honor, next to the faffoos and the Happy Bus ("I have come to here to give your good luck!  I love you to distraction my precious one!").

Oh, too funny.  :-)

And!  I'd better share this fanart while it's still topical...before Takahashi kills/resurrects anyone else or something like that.  It's still in my sketchbook (note the spiral binder) so you KNOW it's fresh!

Poor Rin!  Waaah!   Sess broke his little girl!

That's enough randomness for one day.  My leather finally came yesterday and I have no excuse for not working (except for my own exquisite sense of ennui)...I'm such a malcontent! 

Oh!   And moko_moko is in town this week!  We'll be getting together for lunch, hopefully (I already know where to take her...fun little microbrewery/bistro.  She's gonna love it!!).

You HAVE seen engrish.com right???

Ahh, yes. *sigh* I wish I could really care about this whole Rin thing..... Had Takahashi finished out with Kagome and Inuyasha before moving on to this sesshie arc, I'd really care a lot more. But for some reason, I was just so upset about the lack of closure after Kikyou's final demise, that I find I'm having a hard time caring about this whole situation as much as I feel I should.


I'm a bad fan. XD I really love his expression. (Heee, and maybe my Darkness piece will do well next weekend. XD

But it's a lovely drawing.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Lovely work. :D

Happy Fun Ball may stick to certain types of skin.

Ah, that drawing!!!! ::cries:: It's beautiful, but SAD. Takahashi better bring her back or I'm gonna be pissed!

And Engrish.com is the best thing evar. I go there every day to get my dose of mangled verbage. Fun stuff. :)

Wah!! That is the best picture I've seen and it's KILLING me.

btw, I LOVE Hummus. The red pepper flavor is sooo good.

Eek, I hate bugs that stick to your skin! Reminds me of James River. We went swimming and came out of the river with random fly-like bugs on our flesh. Eeek.

Benign girl... rofl
