• block the other person's weapon (even if it is a fan) with your weapon (which may also be a fan), not with your hand.  Especially if the other person's fan has metal ribs
• when lion dance training after taking such an injury, don't lift the head when you have to hold the mouth shut
• when walking through door frames, make sure you fit through the doorframe.  Do not get distracted by small dogs attempting to run outside, and definitely do not clock the alleged "funny" bone on the doorframe to the point where you lose all feeling in your hand for a little while (preceded and followed by HOLEY SHEET THAT HURTS), especially if it's the arm with the hand that doesn't have aforementioned wrist injury on it

Not that this has ever happened to me, definitely not in the last week, because who would be so dumb.

Or rather hang around the periphery of and watch.

I saw this on the front page of deviantART (hey the front page is good for something after all ;) when I went to log in:

Lightning La Buff Bust by mattj324

In my usual fashion after dropping in to leave a boring "wow" type comment, I went through the rest of the person's gallery and then watched them.

[9yo is playing one of the board games on Assassin's Creed: Black Flag and is winning]

me: Careful, he may have something up his sleeve.
9yo: They're pretty tight sleeves.
me: That's coz they're modelled on.
9yo: I know that!

Just like that, he is in the last of the single digits.

[7yo comes running inside, I tell her it's bathtime]

7yo: But we found a grasshopper or a locust outside!
me: How do you know it's a grasshopper or locust?
7yo: Because it looks like one!
me: Why don't you look up pictures on the internet and see if you can tell the difference.

[We go to 7yo's room, she grabs a small paintbrush]

me: ...what are you doing?
7yo [holding up paintbrush]: Scientists have discovered it's all in the power of touch! And they used a paintbrush!

[7yo scurries back outside leaving me puzzled]

15yo: Nothing is faster than a Lamborghini!
8yo: Except maybe a faster Lamborghini!

More Lightwave and Blender comparison

I was having a bad day yesterday and irritated because I couldn't figure out Blender stuff quickly (on the bright side, thanks to Lightwave I at least have an idea of what I'm looking up) and told Josh that Blender was frustrating me and it was tempting to jump back into Lightwave but I didn't want to give up yet because Blender had some stuff that Lightwave didn't have like lattice deformation.

He got that deer caught in headlights look, smiled and nodded in an exaggerated "I have exactly no idea what you're on about dear" fashion and said that was nice.

The manual showed me where the edge editing tools were, I will have a look at them later when I need them.  Still need a point resymmetrising tool.

Retopology

I used to just wreak havoc on the mesh in Lightwave whenever I needed to retopo sections, because I could.  I've never wrung something through Sculptris before.

[8yo is playing  Civilisation Revolution on the PS3, I glimpse a city I think is called Berlin but not sure whether it's his or computer's]
me [not thinking]: what race are you playing?
8yo [looking at me like I'm an idiot]: ...humans.
{I kick pre-caffeinated brain into some form of gear]
me: what CIVILISATION are you playing?
8yo: Oh.  Germans.

And as I said "done" and took and saved the screenshot, I went and made the knees less prominent.  Roughly a month (~4 weeks) rather than one year which is much more betterer.

And now to Blender to retopo, add the tail blade (well kind of a paddle in his case) and the wing membranes, and texture and rig.  This might be the first one I do in Blender as I haven't done any more work on Twilight since finishing the subdivision.  I don't think it will mind too much.  I am being optimistic thinking everything will just fall into place nicely and work, but I am really glad I can fall back to Lightwave if things get too maddening.

Currently sitting on 348 972 tris.

[7yo pats cat sitting on my lap]

7yo: I'm making Moulty moult on you!
me: Moulty? :)
7yo: Malki! But she is malking on you.  [realises what she said] Moulting!
