Xerxes the hamster

Here are a few pictures of what I have been entertaining myself with recently. thats right I got a small fluffy creature. His name is Xerxes and hes a hamster. Miriam and I were talking about getting another pet but we didn't want a dog so we decided to get a hamster. Hes has allready bit me pretty good once, been swatted by the kitty, ate a hole in my favorite blanket, peed on both Miriam and I, doubled in size and tried to use jedi mind control to force me to give him popcorn.


This is his lovely cage where he runs on his wheel anytime past 1:00 am and eats and sleeps


Here is a picture of him trying hard not be eaten by cleopatra
This is a picture of the little Crystal light container he sleeps in.

here he is the day after I bought him

This is Cleopatras favorite past time these days.

I hope you enjoyed these pictures more to come.

Cartoons!

Recently I have been messing around in my spare time with the microsoft paint program. Here are a couple of the cartoons I came up with, let me know what you think.

This one is of an old idea I had for a cartoon in college. The original caption was a thought bubble above grandmas head that said "Goggles, check: Rocket skates, check: Bengay, check!"

This one is a recent idea I came up with when my wife Miriam was watching some Sesame St. videos on youtube. I noticed how in the "Rubber Ducky" song Ernie calls his ducky chubby every verse and this cartoon was born.

If any of you have made cartoons post them, or if you allready did let me know in the comments.

P.S. If you can't read the caption or you can't see the picture just click on it for a larger view.
