Tonberry Fell Over

Today I'd like to talk about two things completely unrelated except, tenuously, by the blog title: Final Fantasy games and Photographs.

First of all, you don't need to know what a Tonberry is, past the following description: its a small, green, bipedal lizardlike creature, usually shrouded in a brown hooded robe, that tends to carry a large, LARGE knife. They're found in the Final Fantasy games, in which they will attack your characters by, firstly, walking slowly towards you over the course of several turns. Then stabbing you. Hard.

If, however, you are awesome, you can pummel the little gits with attacks, at which point they may fall over. Tonberry Fell Over.

Anyways, why on Earth did I chose to start today's blog like this? Well dear reader... Its mostly cos one of my friends who lives overseas asked me what I looked like. Quite a few have asked me this over the years, and I've always tried to pull out a photo to show them. This has got tricky as of late. Since I left uni and started teaching, and subsequently stopped teaching and done an MA, my circle of friends who I regularly go out with has shrunk. And with said shrinkage, the number of people glibly snapping photos of me while drunk has also dipped horrendously. This means there are less amusing photos to show people. I had to dip back to 2004 to find any real photos of me DOING anything.

THIS HAS TO STOP!

So, starting tonight, I shall be attempting to get more photographs of me out in the public eye. I shall be enlisting the aid of my good friends Mr Jones and Mr Cartwright (soon to be Doctors Jones and Cartwright) in doing so!

Oh yeah, and I found a pic of a tonberry while looking for decent photos. There's the link! Hurrah!
