And thus ends Hypno/Muscle Month 2005. I hope you've enjoyed... uh... "enjoying" it as much as I have putting it together however ad hoc it was. Now that it's over though, I'll be taking a break from the daily updates to recharge my batteries as well as devote some time to other pursuits. I'll see you guys soon. Toodleloo.

New morph: Dreamer made this amazing muscle morph that I just had to turn into a movie.
