Drawn to Scale

Yesterday, my boyfriend:

• Took me to see Moneyball in the afternoon
• Came back over to watch the Rangers in the World Series
• Told me wonderful, romantic things that I am still smiling about this morning
• Challenged a teenage mutant ninja cockroach to a duel in my kitchen (& won!)

The following image is drawn to scale* and entirely reflects the happenings of last night:

MY HERO

Yes, in my self portraits I nearly always resemble Medusa. Actually if I ever have to dress up for Halloween again I am TOTALLY going as Medusa because I have the crazy snake-like hair to pull it off.

And I am also certain that my art skills are leaving you all wowed. That's a cockroach, by the way. See his evil glare and hairy legs? Don't be fooled by his cute antennae; they were supposed to be malicious but now he resembles a grumpy teddy bear instead of the mastermind of doom who was hiding in my kitchen when I went downstairs to get us beers during the baseball game. But - Woody to the rescue! He agreed that it was the largest cockroach ever (he probably moved here from New York City) and then we found the old fly swatter, and W took him out in one punch. If I had been alone this would have been a battle that lasted at least an hour! I was thoroughly impressed and then threw my arms around him and declared him my hero. It's really for more reasons than the bug, but you know. 

Also accurate? The size of the fly swatter. It is comically large and claims to be from Texas.

Also we are officially out of beer and this is a crisis considering Game 5 of the World Series is tonight and my W is coming over after I have an obscenely long day in class. I'm looking forward to it more than you can know.


*Size of cockroach may be slightly exaggerated.
