As I was heading in to work today, I rounded a corner and suddenly met a yappy little dog making a bee-line for my front wheel. Â It’s lucky it wasn’t a cat, or I might not have been motivated to be quite so responsive with the brakes. Â (Kidding! Â Sort of!)

Went over to my cousins’ place tonight to watch the USC/Oregon game — the outcome of which does not need to be discussed here. Â Suffice it to say, we had some excellent enchiladas, and that’s all that matters.

Just wanted to do a quick figure study this evening, since I hadn’t done one in a long time. Â So I headed to Flickr and found this amazing photo by user Ryan Muir. Â I just scribbled a quick and basic figure study, but seriously, check out the original photo — it’s incredible.
Oh, and as for my sketch title, it’s just a little inversion based on the following discovery: I learned that the guy in the photo (the guitarist for The Roots) goes by the excellent name “Cap’n Kirk Douglas.” Â His definitely has a better ring to it.

I’m often amused by art that for no apparent reason just takes a human form and transposes some unexpected object in place of the head.  So I thought I would stop by Flickr and let their random photo picker come up with the ingredients for just such a piece.  And thus was born the first member of the fearsome North Korean Baby Alpaca Regiment of Genetic Superwarriors.

So this was just based on a random photo I found on Flickr. Â Had a bit of trouble with the figure in this drawing. Â I kept erasing bits, modifying the proportions and so on, but it kept not working right. Â Eventually, I realized I had to erase her completely and start again from scratch. Â How appropriate, it then seemed, that she should be standing in front of an Edsel…

Went to the gym for about 45 mins today. So now I pretty much look like this.
And yes, I will be entertaining offers from any reputable sideshow organizers.

On the Isle on Man, they are bred for one thing and one thing only: Â rock.

Just renewed my membership at the Caltech gym, in the hopes of exercising (and especially swimming) more in the year to come. Â And of course, thinking about getting back in the pool was reminding me of my high school swim team days. Â But not to worry, fellow pool-goers: Â I won’t be going back to the miniscule Speedo.

It wasn’t raining when I rode my bike into work. Â Not so at quitting time.

(P.S. No, I didn’t actually do this. Â I left the bike and hopped on the bus.)
