Not Much New Under the Sun

[toosuto]

We are down to two last blisters for Rona's pox: they are both painfully large, one in on the inside edge of one of her fingers and the other in between her toes. She is doing remarkably well. Sara had a good time at the HP release and I had sushi at Yatai the following Saturday: it's hard to beat good raw tuna. Saturday night I went downtown to catch AKA Ska. Sunday: GURPS. Sleeping has been poor since Friday night as we've been up reading (I am almost finished with Hunters of Dune and Sara, of course, HPatDH. And then aikido (I am feeling a bit wrenched around this morning, I'm not sure if I did when I rolled wrong or if it was due to one of my partners making up for a lack of confidence in his technique with speed). I'm one step closer to selling octopi to strangers as now I have my first order from a friend of friend whom I have never met: yay!

First I give you Yo Gabba Gabba a new Nickelodeon show for little kids as created by MC Bat Commander of the Aquabats (several of the Aquabats work on the show apparently) found via Evan Dorkin (who is doing some production work on the show as well).

And there is Tank Books small cigarette pack sized copies of classics to go into all the cigarette vending machines in the UK now that the whole country is smokefree. They look great!

Ahahaha! I am in love with the string beans! And uh, is the use of the Paul Frank monkey a copyright infringement or are they just getting the kids early? =]

Since it is Nick I am going to go with licensed exposure as opposed to just ripping it off (it is rather blatant).

Hey, how do you know this new octopi person? I thought that brian's sister was in Cali, not MN.

Um, it is B's sister, I don't know what to tell you?

Yo, Gabba

How much are the Tank Books and could you get me one of each? Awesome!

And I think I have some Octopi to order. I'm checking the budget.

If I see any I will find out, they are not quite in machines yet (I think) and I expect they will be more common down south (i.e. London) but as I will be to London again I will keep an eye out. They look pretty awesome, I'd want at least one myself...

Also: yay!
