Back with more Twisted Little World!

` I was around twenty years of age during this time of tremendous... um... healing from horrible pain. And what better thing for me to draw at this time than....

` Isn't it uncanny? (I'm going to pretend there is no potential for puns.)

` And that is but a detail of what is to come. And what is to come? First, we have a blurry (and thus drastically-shrunken) sketch of some Peeing Pumpkins on the Historic Medina Square! (Warning: The website doesn't seem to make much sense.)

` Oh yes, and tables from the evil Cool Beans, which had just taken over the Arabica coffee house.
` Not long after that, I sketched the nearby 57 millimeter cannon from World War II (which I always used to play on as a small child) and then I sat down to a meal at Dan's Dogs with a friend of mine.
` Unfortunately, it's also blurry, but not quite as bad as the last one.

` Oh, and I added some Yoplait Nouriche bottles later on because there just wasn't enough interesting stuff on the square.
` Though they used to give me 'allergic reactions' as it says at the bottom, I later found out that my 'milk allergy' was actually a panic attack that used to strike me after consuming dairy products. I got over it, too!
` But, at the time, I was so into yogurt smoothies that I made a Dannon Frusion pyramid... of DOOM! (I frankly have no idea what the Japanese writing is all about, but trust me, it's quite out of place.)

` There's also one of the last packages from a now-extinct design of Reese's Pieces (rest in pieces!) and a limited edition InsideOut Reese's Peanut Butter Cup (peanut butter on the outside, chocolate on the inside).
` And yes, they do kill Tom... with their rich peanutiness! Tom would be my mom's boyfriend. They live on a boat together in the Atlantic Ocean.

` I don't know what I was thinking, but I was really loving my crackers and my creativity. (Note: This was back when Nabisco Vegetable Thins were shaped like little vegetables!)

` I think the others submitted to the Vegetable Thins' ways after the Chicken in a Biskit cracker couldn't find any eyes to peck out.

` And here we have the page from which the Arizona Green Tea can was derived....

` The Cool Guacamole chips were Lays, which I've just determined from this picture. Well, at least that packaging design is still going!

` Ah, more Tom-killers! The M&Ms of Death! But these are not ordinary M&Ms of Death... they are black and white! (A major news event/marketing ploy!)

` Oh yes, and a Fuze bottle - though not as pretty as the original. (There are a few even more mutated Fuze bottles in this sketchbook.)

` My fav... Starbucks is an evil trickster! That's why I refer to it as 'Starfbucks' - yeah, sure, that's how you pronounce it!

` It made my dinosaur run away!

` Aaaand, now what? It's Figgy the Kiggy, found at the Lafayette Greenhouse! A cute little boy, but hard to draw because he was incapable of refraining from his constant meowing and climbing things.
` His tail was most likely severed in the womb by his umbilical cord, and as a consequence he sees other cats' tails as profoundly interesting. Figgy is also known for sucking his toes, probably because he never got to know his mommy.

` As you can see, he had thought my pencil was also astonishing.

` Now, this was around Christmas, at which I received three boxes of chocolates, I don't remember who they were from.
` I at least made a point to draw them all before I ate them. Wasn't too fond of the white chocolates, though, because they're white and I am a chocolate racist. (As well as a white grapefruit supremacist! I can be so contrary at times....)

` As I recall, it was the wrong gift entirely, as I was struggling with some runaway weight - which went from a lean 120 to a chubby 150 pounds! It was the medication I was on at the time (one that treated an illness I never had) - but at least I switched to this other (also inappropriate) medication that made me throw up constantly for two weeks (thus, preventing me from even taking it any more) and I lost all that weight!

` As you may know, I've long been off the ridiculous medication rollercoaster and am now getting buff - moreso even since my last absurd update on the subject. Oh yeah, baby!
