i HAD to say it

it seems my page still gets a fair amount of attention even when i'm almost totally neglecting it

new art.. eventually, i promise.

it looks like i've run out of time once again with my banshee, 4 days until halloween and it only functions as an animatic. i'll keep workin on it when i can find the time and post it when its completed.
by christmas i hope..

in the meantime i've finally decided to keep my car seeing as i have no credit for get a new one, though i'm looking for a turboed version of my escort engine to have installed instead of the wimpy no frills version i had.

"iconhogplz: swine flu kicked my ass as well, but at least now its no longer contagious; i'm still coughing up lots of fun things.

my car is scrap! ^^
so if anyone would like parts for a 99 ford escort zx2 i'm selling!

just when i had finally replaced everything on it but the rims and i was certain there couldn't possibly be any more problems with it, i take it to jiffy lube and the engine goes.

i'm not so upset because, although i liked that car and i had a lot of funny nicknames for it, i'm paging through the autotrader and looking to a bright automotive future!
the escort, while sporty and light weight, with awesome handling and gas millage, was weak. its time i got a car i can be proud of!
i'm thinking corvette.

i may not have the money, but i'm in it deep from college anyway, a car will just be a drop in the bucket.

and i thought life couldn't get any better

according to the doc swine flu is much more contagious than i realised, the virus can survive for up to two hours outside of my body and is transmitted through the moisture in my breath. so in a way i am sort of a swine flu fog machine!

on the plus side i can't leave my room for a week, and i've got a cool mask to wear. i can also spend some time catching up on meh artwork, if i can build up the steam, my eyes are killing me.

yah, won tickets to an early premiere

it was horrible! it had so much potential, but everything was just wrong.
review may contain spoilers but who cares

i'll begin with the positives:
+ the animatronics were almost top of the line, and were fun to watch.
+ the musical score was appropriate, sweet and innocent.
that's it,
now the negatives:
- the story was too short, and poorly conceived. there was little to no moral.
- Max was a brat, none of the characters were really likable. Max began the movie a little monster, and ended learning that being a little monster is ok.
- Carrol sounded and acted like a gangster, he was naive at first and turned violent, he even disemboweled another monster. he reminded me of an abusive parent.
- Max's life was in constant peril, this movie made many potentially deadly things seem like a game.
- there was no real resolution for the wild things in the end, max returned home to his mother who was nothing more than worried about him.
- the Beasts, or whatever they were called, actually had intent to consume Max, and there was skeletal evidence of his predecessors.
- there were many loose ends left by the end of the movie, and many questions left unanswered.
- all the kids sitting around me were either bored by it or confused, if kids don't like a kids movie whats that tell you?

all in all, what i thought would be one of the best movies this year turned out to be one of the worst. watch it for your self if you like, i found it hard to believe this could be screwed up that badly myself.
