this cat! it is not a cheesecake!

Via vito_excalibur: Wow, that's ... sparkly. Clicking on it will take you to brown_betty's LJ, where I think the commenter who posits that it's obviously a portrait of Herald Barack from Lackey's Valdemar series is correct.

sylvar tracked down the full version of the 1939 marital test I blogged about yesterday on a Flickr account. It includes a husband test, too!

I shall note that my Wife Score has increased to a positively glowing +2. I have not yet taken the Husband Test, as I'm going to sit here and kill my hands by typing in all the statements so I can make an internet quiz out of it.

ETA: I just took the Husband Test and I have to say I make an awesome husband. At least compared to the wife score: a +40! Which lifts me up to Poor, right on the border of Average!

I mostly suck at drawing chibis, so I spent the entire evening practicing them, just copying them from various Bleach sketches in the tankoubons, and from one of the how-to-draw-manga type books that wasn't actually a How To Draw Manga book.

After all that, I finally did one on my own - not refined or anything, still in quick sketch form. Interesting fact: having previously drawn Grimmjow Jaggerjack before is not actually any help whatsoever in rendering his mullet in chibi format.

( Awww, who's a cute widdle Awwancaw? )

More fun with Google ads. Notice what popped up in the LJ notification thread talking about the Grimmjow chibi.
