baby, what's in that satchel?

waaaah guess who is procrastinatey!!! 3 posts + 1 picture update in 2 days?! after a year and a bit of that same ole samurai bunny, i've replaced him! if you're feeling the need to know about the background on this guy, read on. otherwise, skip the bits in pink.

" kurahashi zensuke takeyuki

kurahashi takeyuki was a fine hot-tempered swordsman and performed well in the attack on the kono mansion. he had studied the floor plan of the house, wchich the yazama brothers ahd secured from yasuemon, the chief carpenter. so he knew that there were certain hidden details in its construction.
he hacked his way into moronao's bedroom just after moronao had fled, leaving a rumped bed. takeyuki felt the bedclothes and found them still warm.
he knew moronao could not have gone far, so he snagged the scroll out of the alcove and pushed on the wall it had been hanging on. it was a secret door into the garden! he charged through it and on seeing the storage shed for the garden apartments knew moronao must be there.
yazama, senzaki and takebayashi circled the shed and poured arrows into it from their hsort bows. two men ran out, and takeyuki took them on. "

now you may or may not know, but these bunnies are based on a real series of prints by kuniyoshi. the original intention was to have a collection of all 47 ronin + their wives + their chef + extras. not all of them lend themselves well to bunnification, but then if i keep working on them at this rate, i'll have the complete set by the time i'm 64! look forward to that!


on a completely different note:
dad [walking up the stairs] : hello! realtyone rookie of the year is home
mum : what prize did they give you?
[dad passes mum a box]
mum: stainless steel forks? what the ..
dad: ya what do you think they're trying to say ah?
mum: fork you lah.
[both break out into giggles]

honestly! sometimes they're worse than us =P
