Three weeks early, but he's here. And very adorable. I can't get over how tiny his toes, hands, feet and nose are. Even his tiny blue eyes.

And really, really cute. But I said that already

Pictures to come soon.

Yesterday I was devastated, literally, to hear that LeRoi Moore or the saxophone player of Dave Matthews Band passed away. He was a great musician and loved the band because he could try new and different things.

I'm working on a few things in honor of him, and including Ants Marching in one of my fics. I don't know which one yet. But I would appreciate if you all would at least look at them when I get them done. Please?

If you have suggestions on if I should do a one shot or add Ants Marching into Lullaby Child, I'd appreciate it. It's one of my favorite songs and one of the best sax solos with LeRoi.

Yep. In 4 days is my favorite week of the year. And for that I'm going to draw a shark for every day of that week. And since I'm not subscribed I can't do a poll. Dammit...

But anywho! Since there are 7 days in a week, what 7 sharks should I draw? Or rather which order should I have them in? My favorite will be at the top of one.

You can also suggest a species I haven't listed. That is the hard part with 7 days, because there are well over 360 species of sharks. I can also do extinct species if you wish. (Megaladon is counted)


* The Dumbfounded emoticon is just my mood because of seeing how stupid people are with shark facts. Ask me anything!
