Over the weekend, I found myself unexpectedly blessed with a veritable treasure of cinematic features to explore.  Some on the big screen and others to be found on DVD for my home theater.

Iron Man

For those of you a bit leery of recent Super Hero movies, I challenge you to overcome your misgivings and to go see this fantastic movie!  Not only does it deliver awesome special effects and action, the movie is also full of genuinely funny moments.  Whether or not you’re a super hero fan, you should definitely spend the cash to see Iron Man on the big screen.

Cloverfield DVD

When I noticed that Cloverfield had arrived to the stores on DVD, I spared no time snatching it up and bringing it home.  This weekend I had the opportunity of sitting down again with my little bro to dig out all of the movie’s little secrets and marvel at some of cool scenes with the monster.  I will say this though, the movie loses a bit of its impact on the small screen.  I’d imagine this may change depending on your setup, but I’d advise turning the volume up and the lights down low.

That’s it for now, but it looks like the summer will be delivering a lot more quality entertainment.  Anyone else excited?

Poor Fish Lord, destined to a life of common drudgery, slaving away for the soulless corporate machine. Thankfully there’s always the escape of the Internet! Just a few clicks away.

My apologies for Friday. My older bro was visiting from London for my sister’s birthday. Things got hectic. Fondue was had! Delicious

To make amends, I thought I would dig into the old art folder on my desktop and unearth one of those discarded projects that might have been. This cover was originally intended for a full-fledged story, but as we webonauts know all too well, what we intend sometimes falls apart.

Looking back on it now, I think it makes a fun layout, but I’d want to go back and fix a few things. Perhaps add a few more onlookers. A monocle wearing penguin, maybe?

You too can amuse small children with Slither’s antics!

As you may or may not have noticed, I’m climbing back on the horse, gripping the micron firmly in hand, and cranking out the usual thrice-weekly schedule for Slither and Friends.  My goals, such as they are, for the future are pretty simple.  Just keep up with the schedule.  I think I’ve spent too much time worrying about my art, my site, etc, and I drifted away from why I really started this strip so many years ago when I was a kid.  Just to have fun!

Thanks for the kind words and concern about my health and well-being, especially in the wake of my University’s recent tragedy.  I think much has been said about it, and now it’s time for the site to move on and get back to being goofy.  Besides, I’m still sweating out the wait for my Comprehensive Exam results (Monday dangit!).  We’ll see how that goes.

Overall, just glad to be back.  :)
