The Straw That Broke the Camel's Back

What was the last straw that broke your camel’s back, overwhelming the otherwise calm and collected you?

2. My first vlog attempts

Be gentle, please!



What do you think?

If this has not scarred your eyeballs and you want me to do this every once in a while, do you have anything specific you want me to rant about?

3. Work in Progress - Finished





FINISHED ANOTHER ONE!

Once again I defied the laws of time and space and managed to find an opportunity to complete the second piece in my monsters chasing a kid series. I think the next one I do is going to feature the gang on top of a train, though I haven't started work on it yet. As far as this snow one goes, I kinda like it. I think the kids outfit is good, and I like the composition for the most part.

Hope everyone enjoyed the Easter holiday. I spent it with my wife and her family, which always provides for more than one awkward moment, but then I guess that's what families are for, right? Awkward moments I mean.

The four year old daughter of my wife's cousin was asked to give me a hug by her mother but instead she took one look at me, put her hands over her eyes, then proceeded to yell at the top of her lungs "NO! SCARED! SCARED! SCARED!"

Everyone laughed.

You know...because apparently I'm scary.

4. Hershey chocolate, clogged toilets and video jug

Just returned from wet but nonetheless fun trip to Hershey Park with the kids and [info]the_webmeister. Yes it was. The first trip which we've all taken together, that is. It went surprisingly well. Maybe because I turned green on the first roller coaster, so Daughter ended up going on all the really fun ones with The Webmeister.

The WM also took the kids on the flying swings, which make me feel queasy just to watch people on them. I did manage to take this picture of The Webmeister's rather sexy legs as they went around.



Pretty much the only ride I was able to go on without feeling vomitous was the Fender Bender bumper cars (we were rained out of all the water rides - seems ironic doesn't it? - and those are the only ones that don't make me ill).

My son looks way too happy about preparing to smash his mother to smithereens:



It's unnerving to think that he'll be eligible to get his license for real in (gulp!) two years.


Meanwhile, here's my daughter and Hershey Bear preparing to knock the Reese's pieces out of me:



And speaking of Reeses Pieces, here's the Man (the Candy Bar) himself with the kids:



Meanwhile, when the kids and I got home last night (the WM spent the evening with his parents in NJ) I found my toilet blocked. I got the plunger and started plunging, but to no avail. So being the intrepid soul that I am, I decided to search the Internet for help.

And lo and behold! I discovered this on Videojug:


VideoJug: How To Unblock A Toilet

Of course, when the Webmeister arrived to find me checking out a video about unclogging a toilet...well, let's just put it this way...I will be hearing about this for a LONG, LONG time. I'd been plunging the $#@#&&** toilet for half an hour and then the Webmeister arrives and gives two quick plunges and gurgle gurgle, the thing clears. I bet it was just all the elbow grease I'd put in before he got there. Yeah. That was it.

Anyway, Videojug.com has all sorts of entertaining videos. After the toilet was duly unclogged, The Webmeister and I decided to do some relationship work by watching these two fine pieces of cinematic and romantic merit:

1) How to be a perfect boyfriend


VideoJug: How To Be The Perfect Boyfriend

and 2) How to be a perfect girlfriend


VideoJug: How To Be The Perfect Girlfriend

There are all sorts of amusing and informative things on this site...I can see it will be the source of many happy hours of procrastination in the days to come.
