Like the jump program, no one gets it the first time.  
Fun fact, the Matrix was the first movie I knew verbatim.  It's one of the most important movies ever made.  If anyone knows of an action movie that hasn't used bullet-time since its release, let me know.  There are probably one or two out there.
   My summer semester ends tomorrow.  I'm antsy as an ant, see?

P.S.  Can we all just pretend the part two and three never happened?

Blam!  That computer class is finished!  Turns out I really like QBasic, and I'm even working on a game on it.  It's simple, but it's cool.  It's got checkpoints, passwords, namable items and character, and even a morality system.  It about a third of the way done, so I'll be needing - "needing", this is just for fun - testers pretty soon.  If your interested in helping out, check out the Twitters or Facesbook, or hey, just click yourself over the the contact page of this site.

I'm done.  I'm finally done with my Understanding Computers book.  Six-hundred somethin' pages down!  Do I understand computers now?  Meh.
So, I've still got my QBASIC and Microsoft Office books to knock out and this class'll be over.  I'm not sure I could K.O. them with the tatsumaki senpuu kyaka, but it's probably worth a try.
Also, happy birthday to my mother.

Hollywood can't handle this!
The study is all unpacked.  All that's left to do is hang photos and posters and such, and our apartment will be finished.
I'm about mid-way through the summer semester, and to go on studying is getting grueling.  I'm taking some prerequisites to start my 3D design courses.  So reading the tedious Understanding Computers book will be worth it in the fall when I'm animating with Maya.

If you're thinking of seeing this movie, just consider:  it's an hour and forty-five minutes you'll never get back.
The move is complete!  My wife and I are in our first apartment with all of our stuff.  Some of it still needs to be unpacked, we still don't have Internet, but we are finally out from under the roofs of our relatives (to whom we are very grateful).
Spent my weekend building couches, tables, a TV stand and shelves.  It's all very rewarding.

Great movie.  Better than Wolverine.   Better than X-Men 3.  Right up there with 
X-men 1 & 2.  Go see it.  But don't stick around for the credits;  there's no bonus clip at the end.  Way to screw us over, Marvel!

     Coolest mother's day ever yesterday.  Had some Arby's for lunch; then we checked out "Thor".  I find myself to be at a loss when I try to figure out the thought process behind scheduling the release date for this movie.  Thor's a huge dude who beats his enemies with a sledge hammer.  Doesn't quite sound like mother's day weekend is the optimal weekend for his film's release.  Still, the flick's good; not a must-see, but definitely a should-see.  The story is simple, but it's exactly as good as I needed it to be.  It was strange how they used kind of a comedy twist without making a it hokey and failing super-hero film expectations – like the Iron Man 2 train wreck.  The way that Thor defeats Loki is hilarious (that's not a spoiler; you knew Thor was gunna win).  Just shows how little a chance he stood against his brother.  The further I get from the movie, the more I like it, but still, I gotta say it:  the movie could have benefitted from a few thousand more Dutch angles.  They were like "Star Trek" lens flares, only not awesome.  Will someone keep a tally on the Dutch angles for me when they see this movie?  Take two pens; you may run out of ink.
     Also, there was a trailer for a film with the ridiculous title "Cowboy Vs. Aliens".  It looks ridiculously good.

This strip was arrived at in sort of a unique way.  It started as a strip about "Your Highness", but had a poor punch in the third panel.  I had a third panel for a "Thor" strip, but no interesting way to build up to it.  So I mixed the two strips together.  It may be a little much for one strip, but I justify the referencing of two films with the serendipitous realization that Natalie Portman stars in each film.  With all the acting she's been doing recently, I guess the chances of that happening were high.  Name a movie she isn't in right now.  Ya can't do it.
