Ever find something that is so 'you' that there's no way you could allow yourself to not get one? I have found one such of these objects that is just about as 'me' as it gets. It screams my name in the night and demands that I carry it around with me always.

It is...

Don't get me wrong, eBay can be a total pain in the ass and a source of more than a little frustration and overspent credit cards....

But damnit, where else can you buy brand new leather pants for $16 (including P&P)?

I did this piece a long time ago, but only recently found it on one of my many miscellanous disks. I forgot how well it turned out, so I've decided to post it. The image originally started out as a crappy magazine scan of a fox stretching and yawning. And through the layering and application of many many Photoshop filters, it became a rather contemporary piece of work.

So I'm a bit late on the uptake, but let me just say this: The upcoming Final Fantasy VII movie, Advent Children, is going to rock.

A movie-style sequel to a video game? I know it sounds bad, especially considering FFVII has long been the most popular game out of the whole series. But I think Advent Children will more than pull its own weight, even if it also provides a massive amount of fanservice.

A mysterious affliction somehow related to the damage Sephiroth managed to do to the planet. Not one.. not two... but three silver haired Sephy clones running around and being a pain in the butt! Cloud still struggling with his emotional feminine side. The last remains of the Shin-Ra Electric Power Company! Turks anyone? And there's even everyone's favourite tragic backstory, Vincent Valentine! (Personally I'm betting it gets revealed that he's Sephiroth's real father.)

You know I'm digging it.
