So Forestfire and family came through last night, and after a bit of a search for an open restaurant, we ended up at My Friends. Wow, haven't been there in years. After, we ended up at a friend's house to watch the fireworks from her front yard, which turned out to be perfect -- the kids got to burn off some energy, and we had a great view. Also, she has a parrot. I love parrots. I spent half my evening in front of the cage, playing with him.

The headache finally seems to have given up the ghost early this morning, so I'm a much happier camper. Watching The Five Doctors episode of Doctor Who, considering working some more on the tattoo project. I still haven't gotten accustomed to how much faster the research is going on this than it did for the first piece. Google Imagesearch is a hell of a lot faster than Interlibrary Loan. I've got enough images noted that it's getting time to pull them all together, print them out, and start looking at how they fit together, and eliminating options. There are eight figures on my left side at the moment, and I expect we'll add probably another eight or so. That was pared down from at least a hundred or so I originally pulled from research. I've got about that many male figures now, and it's time to start sorting out where the boundaries are -- how detailed is too detailed, what themes and variety are represented, how much clothing is too much, etc, as well as variety of poses and positions. Time for a spreadsheet. Oh yes.

Oh, yay! Mark is making me flan today.
