This depicts the biblical story of Jonah. I like how I made the light stream down onto Jonah because it sort of accentuates the situation that Jonah was in. I also like the accentuated muscles in Jonah's back. They are very nice.

You know how some newborn animals will adopt the first animal they see as a mother? Well, the same thing happened to me when I met Rufus. I just sort of adopted him as my mother.

I am very, very sad. His name was Alphonse, and he was 3 years and 4 days old. I just went in there to get him ready for our daily bath, and I found him all stiff and motionless. So, I told myself "I suppose that means he's dead" and that was that. I cried for about 5 hours over his motionless body. I tried writing an obituary, but my flowing tears kept the ink from drying properly on the page. Tomorrow I will bury him. I wish I could bury him high in the mountains of Peru, but I suppose my backyard will have to do. I thought of burning him and spreading his ashes in my sink. I think burial is what Alphonse would have wanted though. I think I will fashion a small tin chinchilla casket out of cardboard and decorate it with sprinkles and glue macaroni on it. I will have a little service tomorrow, cry a little more, and that will be the end of it. If you have any kind things to say about Alphonse, they certainly are welcome. I am creating a wall where people can post their feelings about the kind of chinchilla Alphonse was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a brighter note, I watched &lt;em&gt;Star Wars: Episode III&lt;/em&gt; for the 49th time tonight. It was a little uncomfortable in my Tusken Sand Raider costume, but when I wear that costume I pretend that I am actually in the movie. I wish I had a landspeeder and many blasters. I probably would befriend an alien and play &lt;em&gt;Sabaac&lt;/em&gt; with him over some Twi'lek juice.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16710730-113236055183486872?l=pygmychimps.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pygmychimps.blogspot.com/feeds/113236055183486872/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16710730&amp;postID=113236055183486872' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16710730/posts/default/113236055183486872'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16710730/posts/default/113236055183486872'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pygmychimps.blogspot.com/2005/11/today-my-chinchilla-died.html' title=''/><author><name>Matador190</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08011406634835052601</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16710730.post-113081323173704659</id><published>2005-10-31T17:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-10-31T18:47:11.763-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Today was the annual Renaissance Day Faire in Woodstock. I made an excellent costume, complete with genuine wool stockings and chain maile. The chain maile took me about 8 days to make. It was very difficult. But the finished product was great. At the faire, we played dragons vs. knights for a while until Tommy Schnider got a cut on his leg from a paper mache (sp?) club. It was pretty awesome though. We all pretended that we could use magic against each other. I even cast one guy into a deep sleep using my specialty: Deep Sleep. I slayed 11 Magi before I too became a victim to Norglaf.
