Guri fakes it

I have a chance to update the site today (Sunday) because I am in the office doing some other work... soo, as long as I am near a computer that can connect to the Internet...

Basically I just wanted to show off my latest drawings and paintings... not much maybe, but I think I am improving a bit. These are a few paintings I have done late at night when I would normally have been updating the bastish net.

Here are some drawings from the nudie club. They vacation often so I have only been there twice in two months it seems. Anyway, the first three are from a few weeks ago, and the rest are from Friday night.

A client had some tickets for a baseball game at the Tokyo Dome and asked me to go, so Saturday Tomoe and I went to watch the MLB All Stars from the US (the only one I had ever heard of was Berry Bonds, who by the way hit 2 (3?) home-runs) vs. the Yomiuri Giants, which just one the National Championships of Japan (or so I am told). It wasn't much in the way of excitement... but then baseball never is... but it was interesting enough. The most striking thing is that although Japan is supposed to be quite good at baseball (I thought), they seem to suck. Maybe they were just hung over from too much celebrating after winning the championship.

Anyway, it was a good chance for me to wear the Chicago Cubs jersey Tim and Shannon gave everyone as a gift at the rehearsal dinner for their wedding. Just for proof that I wear it there is a shady photo of me outside the Tokyo Dome.

A typical Saturday night of study with the birds. Guri looks healthy here, but I was sure she was going to die earlier this week as she lost most of her weight and couldn't seem to keep any food down. After I bought her a tiny little aquarium to use as an incubator keeping her warm, she miraculously got better in one day. I think she was faking the whole thing for attention, but when she realized she would be locked in a fishbowl until she was better she decided to stop.

It has been getting quite cold lately so today I went out and bought them some plastic to surround their cage so I can heat it up during the night and keep them warm without heating the entire house. I can't afford to run the heater anymore this year anyway because while Guri was sick I had the heater in my room turned on high for two days non-stop, heating the entire room. I am afraid of the electricity bill.
