Where are all the good men dead? In the Heart, or in the Head?

His buckles are nice...

Spooky Halloween comics!

Kate Beaton is awesome.

Happy Halloween, everyone. Enjoy dressing up as sexy nurses and firemen and such.

Happy early birthday to Brent, we shall see you Saturday to rock and jam out with our cocks and clams out.

I hope to do another murder mystery game this year! Theme: Superheroes.

There's quite a few parts in it, so if it works out schedule-wise like last year, that's be beautiful. If scheduling absolutely crashed and burns, then whatever, it didn't cost me very much to get it and it can be used in the future!

So all I have to find out now is who can come and when we could have it. Any ideas/constraints?

So the Comic Con wrapped up last Sunday, and it was quite awesome! It was at the Convention Centre this year, but to me it almost felt like it was too big. At the Victoria Inn last year, it had kind of a more laid back feeling, the anime and gaming rooms were actual rooms and not open areas surrounded by yellow fencing. Also, I think the panels last year were more interesting. There were ones hosted by actors, comic companies, dress makers, etc. whereas this year it was mainly "Lou Ferrigno at 3 on the mainstage". But they did have martial arts demos this year, those were cool from the quick glimpse we got.

There were also a lot of cool costumes (most of these are from facebook). A couple of Spideys, Emma Frost, a Night Elf, Doctor Girlfriend(no Dr. Mrs. The Monarch there though), the ever present Bobba Fett, a couple of Harley Quinns, some guy whose custom costume was made from hot tub jets, Captain Canuck and the Riddler, a Predator, and tons of cute little kids.

And that's not even including the costume contest. Yours truly made an appearance and won Novice 1st. Princess Aurora got 2nd Journeyman, the "Slaughter You World guy for 1st Journeyman, and freakin Ghost Rider got Best in Show. The judges were a couple of comic artists and John De Lancie. Cory wowed him with his pretty gams and sparkley smile, so that's why we won.

We met up later with Rorshach and fought some crime. It was good stuff.

I made Cory's costume with tons of drinking straws sewn in under the fabric. It gave it a really flexible yet sturdy feeling. His mask is from Fwegga leather design, I made the shoulder pad out of sculpey and tons of epoxy and slapped some sale belts onto the front. Hockey pads for his knees and shins, volleyball pads for his elbows. I stole yellow fabric from my divorce dress, bought a perfect belt and pair of boots, and had my hair stylist cut and dye my hair. We did not dress up the next day, we stuck with our more comfortable secret identities.

We wasted much money on collectible junk that we opened as soon as we got home. Red Son President Superman for Cory, anime Wonder Woman figure for me. There were so many vendors that it was hard to keep your purse strings tight. And the artists had tons of great stufffor sale. I'll hopefully be having a table next year.

Lou Ferrigno and special guest star his HUGE ARMS were there. Lois and Green Arrow popped by to save the day. De Lancie's head also made its way around. The music at the Ghost Busters's car was on a loop, and drove us insane. Levar Burton showed up on Sunday and had a huge line up in front of his booth.

All in all, it was quite awesome. Come next year!!!!

There will totally be more pics to come from the Con, I'll post them up later this weekend.

But we may or may not have won 1st place in our class for the costume contest. Just maybe.

p.s.- Happy birthday Jeremy!!!!

Remember to wear your helmet!

Thanks to the Batman and Joker, I now know how to ride my bike safely. And they also taught me about herpes and sunscreen too.

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 14:30:29 GMT

Bad news: woke up too early with a splitting headache this morning to my mom repeatedly phoning the house. Bah

Good news: Watchmen trailer is up!

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 04:10:33 GMT

We'll be having a shin-dig over here next Saturday night, it's Cory's birthday on the 29th and also Ryan's this week, so if anyone wants to come over feel free to. I will ensure that there are munchies and snacks for those who come.

My, that's a huge book...

Sat, 07 Jun 2008 17:35:04 GMT

And Schumacher had nothing to do with it...

Tue, 06 May 2008 04:58:18 GMT

I bring you, the Batman Musical in all it's demo glory.

I now wonder if they're still going to do that U2 Spiderman musical still.

Thu, 28 Feb 2008 16:03:20 GMT

Ew ew ew. So they're doing a new Street Fighter movie. Why? I have no idea. But I'm pretty sure if Lana Lang is in it, she'll fuck everything up for everyone else.

But on a note of coolness, Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool in the new Wolverine movie. Huzzah!

Also, sometime next week we're setting up for an art show for the drawing/painting majors, I'll update when I know more. I'm trying to get some stuff in, and it'll be downtown around the exchange district.

Mon, 28 Jan 2008 20:04:42 GMT

So I've finally gotten around to putting up my comic from last summer.

So there's a lot I'd like to improve upon, and I'm not the best at colouring, but I'm happy with my first go at it. The odd picture is terrible, but I like how most of it turned out.

A few of you have seen it already, but I figured I'd get it up for other friends to see too. Let me know if any of the pictures aren't working.

Wed, 26 Dec 2007 08:03:15 GMT

Woot! Finally done Christmas with my family, now I get to work Boxing Day. Back to planning the party and tidying up.

I have planned for the entrees Clam Chowder and Salad. I have enough supplies to make the chowder, it'd be great if someone could help out and bring a couple bags of salad. I've got salmon here and think it'd be real nice in the salad, I've got a couple of bottles of dressing bought already, and a big salad bowl too.

I'm fixing to make a cold pasta salad tossed with garlic sundried-tomato mix, a hot rice dish w/ shrimp, and a white cream sauce seafood lasagna. If anyone wants to bring other stuff to eat, that'd be great! Show off how good a creative cook you are. Laura's got dip and punch, Tom may bring apple cider. Even it someone brings something simple like cheese and kubasa, it's all good.

We also have chips, dip and other snacks to get us through the night. I've still got a few other things to pick up for the party decoration wise, along with maybe renting a few stools/chairs from Party Stuff. Bringing some mix and booze is also good, that way we all get a bit of variety instead of drinking Red Dragons and Fort Garry Dark all night long. I think I'll make a big bowl of spiked jello too.

Also, we're very willing to put up people for the night... but we've got limited spare beds and couches, so bring blankets and/or sleeping bags if you want. Michele's left a few blankets and pillows here she hasn't taken yet, so we'll steal those too. If people snore loud, you have my permission to poke them and roll them over ;D

We'll set up the video games after the dinner is done downstairs, and try to keep the majority of loud partying down there, so our noise won't be heard too much. Video games w/ the 360 or Wii and maybe watching movies/ playing drinking games will be encouraged. If anyone wants to bring a board game or something, that's great.

I've tried to send a message a couple of times to Trevor because he lives so close, but I don't know if he's gotten them. If you talk with him, let him know he's invited.

Also, please be gentle on Brian if he's there. We want to keep the bathroom open, remember.

New Dark Knight and Hellboy trailers are up. Coolness!

Mon, 10 Dec 2007 05:37:18 GMT

I just want to make sure everyone's received their invitations, with exception of Steeves (I'm mailing it tomorrow, Stupid Staples took a while to understand what I wanted regarding the invitation), and Laura (your mom should have yours). Go the cheap way with making the costume, scouring thrift shops and dollar stores is great to find stuff. I've seen a couple dollar stores already that have cheap pirate packs in the kids section with daggars and guns.

Mailing out

Wed, 14 Nov 2007 22:15:36 GMT

Email me your addresses ASAP so I can send out the invitations. Laura, I have your mom's address... she sent something to Jon in the mail, so I'll look off the envelope.

If you have any ideas for food, that would be awesome. So far, I have planned salad and soup (chowder? won tons?) for starters, and snacks to nibble on throughout the game/evening. Supper would probably entail fish of some kind, with a rice pilaf w/dill and shrimp. Dessert, who knows... I'll look up some recipes online for ideas. Again, if anyone wants to bring anything, that'd be awesome, I don't want to overly break the bank on this party lol All I can say is, good thing my loan's coming in soon!

So... Pirate's Party on New Years, that's the date I want to set. We all usually hang anyway that day, so why not?

I had planned on Michele and Brian being moved out by then, but it looks like that's not going to happen. So they may be here for the party, even though I have not planned any parts for them. Their stuff will still be here too, which means... I'll try to stuff some of it in the storage room.

We've bought Guitar Hero, and will probably have another controller by Christmas, so we can rock out with that after.

If Jeremy can confirm anything at all, that'd be great.

Supper would be around 6, I'd say... the game is to take place over, I think, a 3 course meal. I won't have a part, I'll be serving and preparing, but still sitting down and eating with you guys.

Tue, 13 Nov 2007 01:15:54 GMT

This sucks. This really, really, sucks. Horrible.

Fire in Stonewall.

Ha!

Thu, 11 Oct 2007 17:51:50 GMT

Just found this. Ha! Now, who are those dashing people on the right hand side of the middle picture?

Halloween

Sun, 30 Sep 2007 06:23:36 GMT

So, around Halloween, I'm not going to be here... I'm off in Chicago for an art field trip, but we leave on Monday the 29th. The Saturday and Sunday before that, me and Cory will be heading to the Manitoba Comic-Con to look around at the cool stuff there, Margot Kidder just got added as a guest there, as well as the original Boomer from BS:G. Nerdfest for all! We also going to the Masquerade Ball, I've just got to get started on Cory's costume and will hopefully my Catwoman one done by then (I'm too unskilled to do a bodysuit, so I'm getting it done by someone else), I'm buying tickets for the stuff probably after I'm done with this. Michelle and Brian will probably come, if anyone else would like to, let me know! And get your tickets soon! :D

Fri, 31 Aug 2007 12:36:51 GMT

*sigh* I'm not surprised, but some of those names I didn't expect... or rather, I expected others instead (Seriously, how long can Ric Flair keep going?!)

Also, some guys just give too much to their craft. Zoinks!

I should be getting my Pirates package in the mail next week, I'm excited to peek at the stuff.

Yarrrrrrrrr!

Tue, 28 Aug 2007 02:06:30 GMT

So I'm REALLY wanting to have a murder-mystery party around Christmas/New Years. That way Laura and Jeremy may be back in the city to play it with us!

I've chosen a pirates theme.

If people feel strongly about doing another theme, it's something to consider.

But, in trying to plan it... I need to know if certain folks will be available for shennanigans. Laura, I hear you're bringing Shahin back? Jeremy, you think Beth will be coming with you? Tom and Steeves, any idea if you're swinging by?

Problem is, there's only enough roles for 8-10 people and I'm accounting for possibly 13 (Me, Cory, Brent, Ryan, Steeves, Laura, Shahin, Jeremy, Beth, Tom, Mike, Leanne, Jon). Also, I need to consider the number of female roles there are vs. actual females available to play, which may be tough. I'm sure Steeves wouldn't mind being a pirate wench, right?

Either way, if this happens, you'll be able to buy awesome pirate sale costumes after Halloween ends. There will be much booze, food, parrots, eyepatches and swords. Scurvy and Black Spot hopefully will not make an appearance.

Zombies!!

So, this is the first page of my comic as a colour treatment. It's a photo copy of the inked page that I've coloured with Prismacolour markers. I finished my 5 pages this morning and handed them in, when I get them back I'll put up the rest. I think it turned out really good, and I worked hard to successfully stay on deadline. Best class I've taken so far, I'd say. Plus, my teacher is VERY knowledgeable and frank about ideas and process. He unfortunately wasn't there for me to hand my project in today, because he's gone to the San Diego Comic-con. Lucky bugger.

I should have taken a bigger picture :P

It's based on the story of Sharon in World War Z. And yes, I did make the Fitzgerald building into a home for feral children.

Fri, 29 Jun 2007 02:58:41 GMT

I'm looking to take Cory out Saturday night for his birthday at Ivory, which is right across from the Forks, so it's not too far away. Any takers? I'll be phoning probably tomorrow to make reservations, so feedback ASAP would be great :D

Tue, 26 Jun 2007 12:51:13 GMT

Wrestler Chris Benoit was found dead yesterday in his house, reports are it's a a double-murder-suicide (his wife and son were also found dead). Hopefully not a ruse by the WWE, that would be horibly sickening.
