Title goes here

So let's see, last time I wrote I bragged about my family. Apparently I only wrote once last month. I'll try and aim for two times this month. I suppose I should just cover the bases here and give a brief update but then, who reads this blog anyways? Eh, I'll do it for prosperity's sake.
So as everyone knows by now, I've been swing dancing... A LOT. I've been trying to get better at it and be more comfortable with new moves and eventually maybe possibly start trying to get some new stylized foot work, maybe. I've learned that I really don't like Balboa, but at the same time it would be nice to be able to dance to it on a fast song. So with that said, I'm pushing through my dislike for it and going to continue to better myself by learning something I don't get very easily.
Aside from the dancing 3 to 4 times a week, I've been drawing a lot more. I've been doing some comic-strip in a newsletter for the dance studio I attend. It's pretty cool, I've been getting back in it and it's fun. I've also been working on a website for a friend of mine, it's turning out pretty good. If you anyone plans on going to a club in LA hit me up, I know a guy... hahaha. But seriously, I know a guy.

I'm still working on it, and a substantial update will be arriving soon. Just know that I created the logo and everything from scratch. I'm quite proud of it.
I also started playing with my flipvideo camera some more, I made a small 11 second video that turned out kinda cool. Nothing special, but again, I'm proud of it cause it was a cool simple effect I could do with some simple editing.

So ya, let's see, drawing a comic strip, animating a website, making some videos, swing dancing... Oh ya... I guess I'll do my movie review now.

I saw X-men Origins: Wolverine tonight. To keep it real simple here.
I felt the acting was decent. How well can you really act as a superhero without going too cheesy? Am I right?
The story was good and pretty solid. Not much of a plot twist, but still intriguing and creative.
The writing was also pretty good, except for some cheesy one liners or other random things that just came off TOO cliche for my liking.
At this point I'd just like to say that I really enjoyed the movie, I probably wouldn't mind seeing it again, but I'll probably wait till video. I'm a huge comic book nerd (more DC than Marvel) and I really enjoyed seeing some of these super heroes and villains duke it out and show off their strengths. The only problem I had with the whole movie was the special effects. I expected more. A lot more. In the second movie Nightcrawler did some amazing stuff. He's not in this one of course, but being that technology has advanced since then and special effects of that particular caliber have gone down maybe a little bit in price, it would only be a likely assumption that the quality of "special effects" would go up. But no. Green effects were a bit shotty at times and poor Wolverine's claws looked more like inflatable gloves then actual metal knives sticking out of his hands. I could have made better looking claws with foil, cardboard, and those hulk gloves. Maybe it's just my supernerdom coming out, or the fact that most of the super hero movies I've seen in the theaters were with other animators, and their picky-ness of computer animation wore off on me. Who knows. All I know is that it got to me and bugged me in certain scenes.
But like I said, all in all it was a great movie and I highly recomend seeing it on the big screen. Maybe just not with so many obnoxious smartass screaming nerds.

So ya, I suppose that's it. 3:16am and I'm still not tired. I should be due to all the weird dreams and lack of sleep I've had for the past two weeks. Really weird colorful and slightly fantastic dreams. Fantastic as in "Willy Wonka's waterfall candyland paradise" fantastic, not fantastic as in "I just woke up and feel so Zip-a-dee-do-dah happy I look high" fantastic. I know that made sense. and if it didn't read it again till it does.

P.S. I'm not Robin a n y m o r e. HA!
