The final Butt Week post, and it requires a story...

This note is a direct result of how we store bread:
I was taught by my middle school science teacher that keeping the ends on the bread when you store it helps preserve the life of the loaf and inhibit hyphae from growing. So that's what I do, which means the two butts of the bread are always the last slices in the bag.

To try and avoid this, my husband takes a more rational approach. If he gets to the last four slices before I do, he pairs them off into two sets of end+middle.

Now you would think I would have adopted his policy by now, seeing as it is by far the more superior sandwich-making method, but I (being the crass and unusual person I am) delight in making double butt sandwiches. I delight in calling them "double butt sandwiches." I especially delight in making double butt sandwiches for him, and since I am almost always the person packing his lunch, he gets them a lot.

It annoys him, so I made this note to soften the blow the last time I packed one. The note references the Double Rainbow video.

Here are various images from Valentine's Days of yore.

Day 7: Haunted House
"House's Head"

Instead of drawing an architectural house, I chose to draw Dr. House, since at the time I was in the process of binging the series on Netflix.

In the cliffhanger titled "House's Head" (season 4, episode 15), he is haunted by hallucinations as he desperately tries to remember something that could have life or death implications. The text in the drawing is the repeated question nagging at him across the entire episode.

I would like to point out that this is probably the highest caliber piece of artwork that has ever graced this blog, and was drawn in 30 minutes while loosely eyeballing a reference photo on my monitor. (Proof I can actually art if I put in the effort.)

Day 5: Werewolf
"Where wolf?"

This image was directly inspired by a quote from Young Frankenstein:
Inga: "Werewolf!"
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: "Werewolf?"
Igor: "There."
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: "What?"
Igor: "There, wolf. There, castle."

Just imagine me tip-toeing around like Harley Quinn, whispering "sneak, sneak, sneak."

There are literally 4 people in the entire world who understand this note because they were there on that fateful day when we had a dramatic test reading of our friend's new book.

This was supposed to be the start of another theme week, but I got distracted and never wrote a "Day 2." 

The next few posts mark the beginning of my sad, slow descent into randomness.
