I really love my bathroom. It was the first thing I decorated after moving in.
So much light!
(p.s. you can find those lovely Kauai prints in
Colin's Etsy shop.)
Yay. :o)

A collector and friend of mine,
Madeleine, whom I've
mentioned before, sent me word of her incredibly exciting news this week. She just had her first paper published in the April issue of
Nature Biotechnology!! Woooo!! Congrats, Madeleine!!
And, just for icing on an already delicious cake, they used the artwork she submitted as the cover too! Check it out:
Isn't that awesome? :oD Hooray for science geeks pursuing science!! You make the world go round!! Well, okay, you help explain
how and
why it does, but that's incredibly important!!
:oD

So we went to Gen Kai again last weekend. :o) It started out simple enough.
But when you order
Omakase, you never know what will happen. This would be mackerel sashimi:
Honestly, it was some of the best sashimi I've ever had. And what a [mildly alarming] presentation!
Here's Colin eating the fish head, after it was sent to the kitchen to be deep fried.
(P.S. I ate a fish eyeball. Yep.)
Sashimi Roll:
Then... Jun-san brought out the squid. The
whole squid.
A whole squid, I tell you:
I hadn't eaten a whole squid before. It was... squid-like. I also hadn't tried salmon roe either! (the orange stuff.) It's like inflated, balloon-like caviar.
And that's my story.
:o)

I know, they look familiar.
I did my initial sketches for
Nami in ACEO size, because... why not? Then I'd have more ACEOs.
I actually have another (similar) one that isn't finished yet. Same concept, but orange and pink. :o)
Both are in
my shop.
