[And their version of Call Me Maybe is the only one I've ever actually enjoyed.]
They also have a playlist called Saturday Morning Slow Jams in which they remaster beloved 90s cartoon theme songs as R&B songs. My childhood was somewhat deprived so I'm not as familiar with a lot of the songs as I bet most of you are but I think the Pokemon Theme Song is probably the best regardless.
Yesterday was the first day at work in while that I didn't have a lot to do and since I'd left my book at home I resorted to making silly sketches and since today's post is a bit of a random hodge-podge I figured I'd share them with you. I started with Todd, the Qualified Quail because I think quail are funny little birds.
Tim pointed out that he doesn't have any feet, which is primarily because the picture I was referencing lacked feet as well so I decided that he's sitting. I'm not very good at drawing animals really, especially birds. But he's got a certain charm, with his important file folder full of papers.
After Todd I couldn't think of what to draw next so I texted my coworker and asked what her favorite animal is. Of course it's a hedgehog, which is a pretty intimidating subject really with all the quills and such. This is where my penchant for alliteration saved the day. I give you Hink the Hard-boiled Hedgehog.
See? Minimum quill visibility! I got through drawing the collar and lapels and had just started on the sleeves when I realized that I'd drawn the coat too large for it to fit him at the current scale so this happened. I think I like it better than if it fit him.
Anyway, I am still writing just about everyday [personal victory high-five!] and I'm half a page away from needing a new notebook which is a pretty good feeling, especially being able to flip through all the pages I've written. I love these guys more the more I write them and it so awesome to slide further into their skins. Because that doesn't sound creepy. Writers, man.
In other, also random news, Tim has fallen prey to an illness again. We're not really sure what it is. We thought last night that it might be strep throat so he stayed home today to rest. He's had a pretty bad cough that's caused most of his discomfort until this morning anyway. The cough stayed, but he started hiccuping. I know this sounds weird but he's been hard-core hiccuping all day and I have to say it's the strangest symptom I've ever witnessed. Someone needs to tell his diaphragm to calm down. My personal cure for hiccups has helped a little but only for an hour or so at a time at which point they start up again for no apparent reason. I feel bad because I know it hurts but it's also hard not to laugh sometimes. Supportive wife, that's me!
