A day for one of baseball's greatest players.
His real name was George Herman Ruth, and he was left-handed. After winning the 1918 World Series with the Boston Red Sox, he was traded to the New York Yankees. The Red Sox didn't win another World Series until 2004.
He was born in 1895, and died in 1948. He died from throat cancer. Fans honored him on this day in 1947, and declared it Babe Ruth Day for every organized baseball league in the US. It's also Morse Code Day. Sadly, I didn't have time to post yesterday.
Had a horrible night last night, and barely got any sleep.
So, I got up a little later. Found out Rosie's a klepto-kitty. She's not as bad as that famous one named Dusty in California. But, she's decided to steal things from my father's office. Then, she leaves these 'presents' either in the middle of my bedroom floor or under my mom's office door. Sometimes on the stairs. So far, it's been things like sticky notes, a flash drive with my dad's book she's been working on for a while, pens, a bracelet keychain, etc. She comes into my room in the middle of the night, and starts howling. I think when she hears me shushing her, she thinks I'm hissing. So, naturally, she thinks I'm angry and tries to 'appease' me. I think she's misreading Mom too. It's kind of cute and funny.
I got a new watcher on dA last night!
That makes about 19 active ones. 24, if you count them all. Crazy! Makes me so happy!
Even if they don't comment, it's nice to know someone's looking at my art. Mom had surgery yesterday on top of her scheduled radiation treatment. It was for a port in her chest. (They call it a power port.
) It helps them easily give her something through an IV without having to find a vein. Both Mom and I have hard to find veins.
(And, sometimes they roll. Sorry, for the nastiness.
) So, it's good for her treatment. They had put tape almost all the way to her chin. To keep her from moving it around too much. So, until that top tape is taken off she needs some extra help with things. Someone was nice enough to drive her to the hospital to have the surgery and radiation treatment done. Today, she was able to find another person to drive her to get more radiation done. 
Pesach's finally over!
I kept it up the entire time.
It gets really hard that last day. Mom broke it midday, because she needed something to eat after her surgery. It's understandable, and people shouldn't push themselves like that especially after surgery.
(Just like people with health problems are exempt from fasting on Yom Kippur.) We all ate something different last night. I had the leftover meatloaf and some toast with peanut butter. I needed something like bread.
During the holiday, if you're really strict, you're also not allowed to have peanut products. So, it was like heaven to me. After something like that, you learn to appreciate your food a little bit more.
Worked on editing Nico from my character sheet in Photoshop yesterday. I'll post him soon. I'm trying not to edit them too much, since like I said they're basically just prototypes. Not necessarily the final 'design' I'll end up with.
Wrote more of chapter 13. I got a lot done. I feel like I'm constructing a totally different world. Makes it really fun.
Played my clarinet. Worked on more Irish tunes. Wasn't too bad. It's been a while since I last played, so I usually give myself a little slack when that happens. Worked some more on Max's full body drawing. I like the way he's turning out.
I had a hard time just letting myself erase the bones that are supposed to be under his clothes.
Needed them to get his figure right. Also, I left faint traces of them, so I can figure out how I want the folds in his clothes to go. I'm not used to folds, so we'll see how it goes. Started another sentence from that You Maga article on stress relieving exercises. Almost done with it. 
I took this screenshot, because they talked about something that I've recently tried. It's so good!
Didn't really know the name of it, so that was interesting. Victorique was surprised, because to her it looked like dog droppings. But, it was, tasty, hard, and sweet. Kujo, since he's an exchange student from Japan, gives her a different Japanese sweet/snack every time he sees her. Karinto is primarily made from brown sugar and flour. On the bag of the ones we got, they have allergen info. First time I saw that on a Japanese product, so it was interesting. I was a little turned off at first too.
But, I love it now! The roots as to where it came from (or the idea) is controversial. From China, or Kyoto aristocrats, or Portugal. It first became available from street merchants around 1830 to 1841. deviantART faves: Chibitalia: Little Artist Truth or False First, a cute painting of Chibitalia from Hetalia. The artist is thinking of making a Chibitalia shimeji and this is going to be one of the frames. Second, an awesome drawing from an artist I watch. I love her more 'anime-ish' (as she calls it) artwork. Her more realistic ones are a bit scary to me.

Not sure if I like the song, but lyrics are funny and somewhat creative. The vocaloid Kaito sings it:
A while back I posted a Hetalia parody vid on the opening of Kyouran Kazoku Nikki (or Diary of a Crazed Family). This is the actual opening theme. I really miss this anime!
