So it is just going to be a short post tonight… I’m in a bit of a short post mood. This is Yuki, and Yuki is incredibly and adorably cute, if you ask me.
That is all.

So, this is a teensie tiny little note, about the size of a five cent coin (a bit larger than a penny, for our American counterparts). I know it isn’t much, but I felt like doing something unbearably cute with my ratties again, since I haven’t drawn a rat for a while!
I dedicate this teensie little note to my darling husband. I think that’s about it, actually… you might get a bonus picture later tonight, depending on how I’m feeling. Stay tuned!
So a person I follow on Twitter (@StraightEdge_, in case you were wondering) sent out a question: What to do to celebrate his 1000th tweet. I made a suggestion - do some ‘real life’ tweeting. In other words, do a drive-by to a few people’s places (hopefully your friends, who are also on twitter) and leave a hand-written 140 character or less message taped/pinned/stuck to their door to find later on. A step up from that, would be to leave little 140 character note in a loved one’s purse/wallet/etc, just letting them know just how much you love them… or something like that, anyway.
Thus, with that thought in mind, I thought I might take my own advice. With a humble tweet-count of 775 (a fair bit yet off 1000, not that a good weekend of typing wouldn’t bump up my total), I figure it wouldn’t hurt to give it a go anyway, don’t you think? So here we go… this post today, is the last tweet I did (as of this second, and it isn’t actually reproduced verbatim), with a little quickie illustration to go alongside it, just for fun! My twitter-stream seems to mostly consist of rather random nonsense, questions as to why I am so tired some of the time, and celebrations of whatever tasty tidbit of food I might have at hand.
So anyhow, yes… a tweet with a ‘traditional’ touch… still 140 characters or less, but written by my own hand instead of typed out on a computer. Writing by hand is just different from tippity-tapping on a keyboard, isn’t it? Well… I think it is anyway. Besides, I like my handwriting!
Here we go… a dino! What made me draw a dinosaur, you ask? Oh what a wonderful question, says I! Actually, I was just waiting for my lunch to go ‘ding!’ in the microwave, and something caught my eye. How better to pass the time than to do a little impromtu sculpting in the alfoil just sitting there all neat and tidy in its roll. So I did.
It wasn’t exactly the most accomplished alfoil sculpting - after all, how much can you do in a minute with a 30cm by 30cm square of alfoil? Actually, don’t answer that one… I’m sure there are some ultra-talented people out there who would consider that a most fantastic sort of challenge. Me though, I generally stick with the drawing, and the painting when I can poke my nose into my studio.
So once my little knobbley lump of alfoil had been so carefully completed and the microwave had finished proclaiming its ability to affectively heat pasta, the piece of alfoil was tossed away… but I couldn’t let it end there. That dinosaur was nice enough to form itself out of the alfoil, the least I could do was let it live on in a way that would do it a touch of justice. Thus, I drew him down, and that is the result that you see before you today.
Oh… and the pasta was super-tasty too!
So it has been an incredibly busy few weeks… it really has. There’s been a couple of emergency room visits (don’t worry, everyone is fine now), and a whole lot of other work for this and that. To top it off, today is my hubby’s and my wedding anniversary - three whole years of wedded bliss!
I thought I had best try and stop this post drought… I hadn’t posted in a little while, and despite the almost hectic nature of things at the moment, I thought that I really should start getting back into my blogging again. I have been sketching, though I must admit that it is drips and drabs rather than epic masterpieces.
Annnnyhow… I’m back, and I will be making an effort to post again regularly from this day onwards. At least until it gets too busy for me to look at a computer, let alone sit down and type.
So that is all for today - please tune in tomorrow for another episode of *dun Dun DUNNNN!!!* Kat’s Blog of Doooooooom. I think I might actually rename the site that for a few days… hmm. Photoshop, here I come.
