Sore Tits & Other Crap.

Well, it's been one of those periods where I've had more to do than time to do it, so I've just been trying to squeeze as much as I can into the time I have. I've spent the past ~two weeks~ glued to a chair, tapping a keyboard, and watching code scroll by. My eyes have turned square, my arse has gone flat, and my fingers are worn down to nubs.

I'd like to thank my folks, who have been calling me every night, to make sure I take a break and go to bed, and to update me on current events - since I haven't seen any news. Apparently Mr Rabbit is having some trouble with the new Senate. Good. (Although, I hear he still has a job, Melbs; so I guess old what's-his-name was a bit off with his prediction, huh?). Iraq has fallen apart; Ukraine continues to fester; Germany thrashed Brazil in the semi-finals of the corrupt, parasitic scam known as The World Cup; and America and China are inching towards something that promises to be even uglier.

Have I missed anything?

Also, I didn't do any exercise during this period, so last night I decided to make up for it. In retrospect, I think I may have overdone it slightly. Everything in the back is stiff and everything in the front is aching. As it stands, I would advise that nobody get on my tits for the next few days, because they're sore enough already, thank you very much! (Actually, it's the pectoral muscles that are sore, but I couldn't resist the joke.)

I spent this morning catching up on housework. I usually clean once a week, and after a fortnight, the sheets were just about ready to jump into the wash on their own. Then I sat down with a pot of tea and listened to music, while watching clips of hot Latin blokes in tights performing wacky acrobatic stunts.

NOTE: In case you find the music in any of these videos utterly intolerable, you can mute them and enjoy the sweet, dulcet tones of Dutch symphonic rock band Within Temptation. This is what I listened to today, whilst going about my chores.

How about that bloke jumping off the fucking ceiling? And the fella wearing the Aussie flag mask? Oh, oh, but what about that little guy in the black tights with the red phoenix-looking trim? Wow! ... You ever been out with a really short bloke before? Is it just me, or are masks sexy?

...?

"Oh, but Alex", I hear you say, "I prefer hot Japanese acrobats -- in tiny shorts". Well, you've got very specific tastes then, haven't you? But never fear, I've got you covered, sister.

I should point out that I generally don't watch the matches. Not unless I'm hanging out with someone who's right into it (and I find the American stuff as dull as dishwater). No, usually it's just the highlight videos for me. Rob Viper's the fella who does the Mexican stuff. He's got over a thousand. Sadly, I just found out the bloke who does the Japanese videos I like, got booted from YouTube for copyright violation. So these aren't his. Instead, they're a bit of a mish-mash.

It's a real shame too, because Japan has the only decent women's wrestling in the world, and he had some corkers. Mexican women's wrestling is, sadly, quite pathetic.

Y'know, back when I was right into movies, I used to fantasise about being a stuntwoman. Of course, I musta weighed about 18 stone in those days, so I dunno which leading lady I was gonna double for.

It's probably for the best that I didn't, anyway. I'd likely have a lot more to whinge about than a stiff back and sore tits. Still, one can dream, hey?

Also, I realised I haven't drawn anything in aaaaaaages, so I went looking through Wikipedia/Wikimedia for interesting animals to sketch. What I came across was these two fine looking specimens.

The cheeky looking lass with her tongue sticking out is an Okapi. She's from Africa, and is the closest living relative to the giraffe. Apparently her head and legs have completely different camouflage needs to her neck and torso.

I'm guessing this is a female, since I don't see anything hanging off the underside that would suggest otherwise.

And this cuddly couple of critters are South American Bush Dogs. I'm assuming they don't have any natural predators, because they have evidently evolved for maximum adorability.

Aaaaawwwwwwwwwww...........

 Now, to sit down and actually draw the buggers.
