So, I walked into my kitchen after school today to find a bubble mailer addressed to me, yours truly! I opened it up to find my trade from Sharp inside! It was filled with absolute goodness and a few surprises, too! I figured the ultimate way to thank my buddy would be to show some of the stuff off! So, here we have some pretty badass stuff!
-Martin Walker, the "protagonist" of Spec Ops The Line, with hair and gun from Sharp!
-I'll post some better pics later, but this is my first Tiny Turbo. Sharp was kind, and sent some wheels and other cool stuff for TT's!
-Zulu with a possible new spear. I will most likely mod this to suit Zulu's needs!
-Zulu's daddy is looking positively ecstatic over his new MP5!
-OK, so I was really excited for these old navy torsos. Why? 'cause motherfucking 1700's Bat Family is why! So you can see Batman and a WIP Nightwing.
-Well, this is a possible spoiler for Zulu fans... >.>

SMASH! Droppin' Stuff, 2008
The Custodians of Destruction - Toronto, Canada
Performance Art, Multimedia Installation
Celebrate the transcience of Stuff. Treasured possessions and household objects get a moment in the spotlight before meeting their demise. Stuff is dropped from above and smashed in this intense ritual of destruction, with dramatic soundscapes and live projectio. ;Humans create a lot of Stuff, all of which inevitably breaks down or wears out. When that happens, the Stuff gets put outside with the trash for someone else to take away. But not tonight. On October 4, 2008, these objects will be given a final farewell and then meet a glorious, cataclysmic end.
SMASH! Droppin' Stuff will take place in twelve installments over the course of the night, with video replay running in between shows. Each show will feature several objects, each one introduced by an emcee and dropped to musical accompaniment. Live video feed of each object will be projected on the wall for close-up action shots. Come for a whole show and participate in the increasingly intensifying ritual, then stay for slow motion replays afterwards.
It's all the glamour of a public art event combined with the raw power of dropping stuff from great heights. Come celebrate the beauty of everyday objects, the inevitablility of destruction, and the glory of finality.
Once again, Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring came riding up to the rescue on a bright white stallion to save the day.
I still had a number of fresh jalapeños in the refrigerator. “We should probably use them soon.” I told the Aggie Ring.
“Well,” said the Aggie Ring. “You could brown some chorizo and mix it in with some cream cheese to make a delicious spicy filling.”
“Oh. That’s an excellent idea.” I replied.
The Aggie Ring assisted me with slicing the jalapeño peppers open and removing the ribs and seeds. Most recipes on the internets warn you that you should wear gloves because of the oils in the peppers. This wasn’t Aggie Ring’s first “Jalapeño Rodeo.” He cut them and gutted them without the protection of gloves. “Gloves are for sissies.” laughed the Aggie Ring in his trademarked “Evil Aggie Ring™ laugh.” Now we can’t touch our face for about 12 hours.
Then, we browned and diced the chorizo up and folded it into a box of cream cheese after draining it. Aggie Ring took a tablespoon and lovingly put a scoop of the cream cheese / chorizo mixture into each jalapeño half. We then placed them in the oven for about 20 minutes until the cheese was browned and bubbling and the flesh of the jalapeños was tender.
“So good. So good.” exclaimed Aggie Ring as he bit into the first stuffed jalapeño. Then he realized that these were the really hot ones and not the milder variety that were developed for use by the major restaurant chains to put on nachos. The chorizo was pretty spicy as well.
“It’s a good burn.” said Aggie Ring. Yes, my lips were burning and my nose started running continuously. This all went down about half an hour ago and I still have hot lips.
“Well, you’ve saved the day once again.” I said to the Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring. “You’re amazing.”
“Thank you very much.” replied the Aggie Ring. “But, you’re the one who is amazing.”
“You are such an observant Aggie Ring.” I smiled and told him.

I have the whole evolution set! The sizes are a little off though. Marshtomp and Swampert are Japanese, and Mudkip is Australian.
Stuffed Pig Trotters
Pig trotters stuffed with chicken mousse, sweetbreads, and mushrooms, served with wild mushrooms (shiitake and oyster) and greens. ($13 for a whole order, this is a little more than a half-order)
Notes: Riffing on Pierre Koffman? Or, Marco Pierre White?

I made some bears for my friend Kristin's children. I had never any stuffed animals of any sort before. The first bear I made didn't turn out well at all. Kat wanted it, so I gave it to her.
I had written a short note about Jonathan when I posted the quilt I made for him. I gave Kristin the quilt on October 28th. On November 1st, Kristin had an appointment. Jonathan's heartbeat was 100 when it should have been between 130 to 160. He was dying. Kristin was 36 weeks along. They decided to go ahead and induce on Saturday, November 3rd and hope to have at least a few minutes with their son. Unfortunately, that morning, no heartbeat was found. Jonathan had died.
They induced Kristin and Jonathan was born at 12.47am on November 4th. I made the middle bear and the bear on the left with the leaves and flowers for Kristin's two girls because I didn't want them to feel left out. I decided to make one for Jonathan as well. I did Jonathan's (the one on the far right) last Thursday except for stitching the hole used to stuff the bear. I did some of the other two on Tuesday and finished them today. I hope they like them.
You can read about Jonathan and his family on their blog.
Psalm 139:13-15
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
He Maketh No Mistake by A.M. Overton
“My Father’s way may twist and turn
My heart may throb and ache;
But in my soul I’m glad to know
He maketh no mistake.
My cherished plans may go astray,
My hopes may fade away;
But still I’ll trust my Lord to lead
For He doth know the way.
Though night be dark and it may seem
That day will never break;
I’ll pin my faith, my all, on Him
He maketh no mistake.
There’s so much now I cannot see,
My eyesight’s far too dim;
But come what may, I’ll simply trust,
And leave it all to Him.
For by and by the mist will lift,
And plain it all He’ll make;
Through all the way, though dark to me
He made not one mistake.”
