Project MiniMe: Entry 0034

Our friend has taken lying on his tummy to a whole new level:

Lying on his Daddy’s tummy!

-_-’

Project MiniMe: Entry 0033

The poor guy has been down with a slight fever from the damage to his ass.

Grumpy to no end and a quickly waning appetite meant that Synn and I had to sponge the little man down with some cool, room temperature water. That, and some Paracetamol washed down with milk and his temperature was back to normal.

Yes, I know, we’d been told to use lukewarm water, but it wasn’t bringing the temperature down fast enough.

Unfortunately, his appetite has been minimal at best since Friday. He’s only been doing half his usual amount each feed, and sleeping for most of the time. Synn and I are keeping our fingers crossed that he’ll be right as a cookie soon enough.

Poor little man…:(

 

Bowen Design’s Magneto’s Magnetic Hand

I just discovered that Magneto’s hand has a magnet embedded in it!

So cool, lol. Nice little discovery, hehe.

Project MiniMe: Entry 0032

Vaccination day!

Synn and I took the little man to get his neccessary shots at The Kids’ Clinic today.

Dr. Lilian Lim was amused by how large he had grown since the last time she’d seen him, and he is, by all accounts, ahead of the pack in terms of physical development. The poor guy is still suffering from reflux, apparently, so we took home more Zantac, with the advice to try cutting down the dosage to 1.2ml once a day 10 days from now.

Oh, update: We’d taken Tristan off the Friso after 48 hours because we discovered that his reflux was returning and decided to put him back on Zantac since it afforded him better sleep and appetite.

Hopefully, he develops fast enough that we can take him off the Zantac for good then. *fingers crossed*

Surprisingly, our friend didn’t complain too much about being jabbed in the ass.

Twice.

 

Suffice to say, his ass wasn’t too happy about it.

 

I’m F@rking Matt Damon!!

These links came in my email from a friend the other day.

Absolutely HILARIOUS.

This shows Matt the butt of Jimmy’s countless practical jokes:

He gets really pissed off at the end of the clip. Lol.

Watch Matt’s revenge:

Then watch Jimmy’s comeback, rofl (Brilliant!!!!):

And then watch Matt’s response:

ROFL
*wipes tears from eyes*

Cutesy Snack Spotted

Synn came home recently with two of these.

Apparently, they were on offer.

Riiiiiiight. I’m absolutely positive it wasn’t because the packaging looked cute and that she would look cute eating from it.

Where the Hell is Matt? (2008)

Spotted on the internet.

It’s a beautiful video. Made me smile and brought a small tear to my eye. 

Thanks, Matt.

What The…?

Spotted hanging around the house recently:

I’m not even going to ask. *shakes head*

Project MiniMe: Entry 0031

Tristan has recently gotten into sleeping on his tummy.

 

He would be lying on his back and flailing his arms, kicking his legs and complaining till no end until I discovered that all he really wants is to be rolled over onto his tummy.

Once in position, he goes into hibernation mode so quickly it’s almost funny:

 

Sigh.

Sideshow’s World of Warcraft Diorama!!

As you may know, Synn and I played WoW for about 2 years before we retired to start Project MiniMe. This was before I had gotten addicted to collecting statues.

So, obviously, when Sideshow announced they were making a statue based on two memorable years of our lives, I was all over it. The diorama is based on the teaser artwork that was shown by Blizzard just prior to the release of The Burning Crusade expansion, introducing two new races, Blood Elf and Draenei, to the game.

The composition captures a Rogue Blood Elf in mid air, coming down on a Paladin Draenei. Rogue in mid-strike, Paladin’s shield raised in defense, preparing for the return smash of the hammer on leather.

The Blood Elf Rogue is geared in Tier 2 Bloodfang Armour, but I can’t for the life of me recall what blades those are. They look so darned familiar.

The Draenei is geared in PvP Lieutenant Commander’s Battlegear Armour, wielding a Hammer of the Naaru.

 

This piece was announced more than half a year ago and I had it preordered the moment I heard about it, so you can imagine my excitement when I finally laid eyes on the statue in front of me!

Beautiful, beautiful piece! To me, this is seriously one of those pieces where pictures don’t do it any justice.

I have to admit, I had my reservations at first when I saw some of the initial pictures on the forums. There were some concerns on the unusually long-ish facial sculpt of the Blood Elf, but they melted away when I saw it for the first time.

There is an amazing amount of detail that has to be seen in person to be appreciated. So much disparing textures to look out for on it! The leather, the steel, the cloth and even the texture of the paper in the tome…it’s simply incredible. I can’t say I’ve seen more colour on any other diorama or statue, and with such richness and so many various tones as well.

The slash marks and chips on the battleworn armour and shield.

 

The flowing hair and billowing cloak.

Check out the tattered and frayed cloak on the Draenei. Beautiful detail.

 

Even the worn leather bound tome looks…well…beautifully worn and leather bound.

 

I love the detail on the Draenei’s hooves!!

 

All these little details, together with the colour and composition of the piece, comes together to make up a beautifully dynamic diorama!!

 

Kudos to the Pablo Viggiano’s team on creating such a masterpiece! You can check out the making of here. 

My only grouse with the piece are the poor facial expressions. They both look rather poker faced. Grrr. But even without much expression, there is still so much detail to admire on the Draenei’s face. Absolutely beautiful.

 

I think facial expressions would have lent the piece an added sense of epic-ness of these two characters’ intense fight to the death.

But aside from the poker faced facial sculpts, I’m in WoW heaven…*orgasm*…this really brings back memories of my gaming days. It’s too bad I didn’t have a chance to get the Sideshow exclusive, which would have given me an extra Netherwhelp pet. It’s not that cute, but it would have been a welcome addition, hehe. Oh well, I’m a happy camper as it is with this piece already.

I truly hope there’s more in store for this line of statues, what with the next expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, already announced.
