*Quick Hits!*

- Hello all the way to David Lam in Canada.

- The Incredible Hulk was good. Not quite Iron Man good, but far more entertaining than the first flick and a solid outting overall.

- I am behind on books… COMIC books, that is…
- Keeping myself busy over the summertime lull…

- On the final chapter of Metal Gear Solid 4. Hesitant to start, because that means I would finish and that would be the end of the series. Already teared up a few times while playing…

- I also caught Sex and the City over the weekend and I will honestly say I enjoyed myself greatly. Maybe it’s because I am at that age or stage in my life where this type of humor and these introspective dialogs actually mean something to me over universally accepted satire or slap-stick routines. So basically: there was no shame in me seeing it *peers at my male readers*…

- Hulking up… or trying to.
- I want ice-cream, and if I succumb to this obviously that defeats the prior message.

- I like to color, despite my art consisting of mostly blacks and whites.

- Going to paint soon.

- MMM… Steak… Oh dear…

- I am getting new headshots on Friday.

- Rwar face
BAMF!

“Mike! You seem very happy. That makes me feel so much joy inside. You deserve it the most.” - A.L.

Thanks, dear.

As many people have pointed out, it HAS been a while. FAR too long, actually. I have just been so busy as of late (some of you know better than others what projects I have been busy with) and for that, please forgive my negligence of this home of mine.

Quick Hits!

- I really want Tacos from Jack in the Box. If there was a Kryptonite to my well-being, these would be it.

- I found a vest!

- Coca-Cola: drink of kings.

- I have been on a steady diet of half-off sushi, Gossip Girl, and most of all: happiness.

- Taco Taco Burrito

- Metal Gear Solid 4 in a matter of DAYS!

- I am missing DVD’s, me thinks…

- I am truly contemplating writing Cosmo to say “thanks” and “keep up the good work!” Everyone appreciates being appreciated.
- Starting this week I do believe this is a summer where every weekend releases a movie I am actually interested in watching. A HUGE step forward from last Summer. So… Incredible Hulk, anyone?

- My Debaters of ‘08…

- I should have been displayed more prominently in this year’s yearbook. At least a headshot in the faculty section or something. -_-

- Room’s slowly clearing thanks to eBay!

- I want to take more Cue pictures…

- Meeting with my Agent on Monday… wish me luck!

- We’re back, baby! No more neglect!

BAMF!

Quick Hits!

- I got to have an early tea rendezvous with my dear friend, “Fish,” on Monday. Saddened it can’t happen more often.

- I am going to attempt to release two strips a week to keep the momentum going.

- Iron Man is out on Friday! Cue Black Sabbath.
- I am a proud Facebook whore…

- I have never claimed to be a master of anything, much less anyone, but if you were a willing student then I would be a very willing teacher of the ways to “happy land”…

- MMMM… Raisinettes…

- A bit overwhelmed.

- I decided with Fish on Monday that I have far too many friends who will be dentists and must go in search of a friend who will be a psychiatrist, for both of our sakes.

- I really need to empty out my room.

- I need more reasons to wear a tie.

- I need to read more.

- One more debate tournament to go…

- My time at the gym seems to be making no physical difference. -_-

- I found a Canadian quarter in my change today.  Wonders never cease.

- I just re-watched Enchanted earlier this evening (don’t ask me why), and though not as enchanting as the first time (oh ho ho), my favorite aspect of the whole movie is the underrated and under-appreciated James Marsden.  I literally wanted to go out and start singing and swinging a sword at people, all the while calling everyone “peasants.”

- MMM… honey green tea…

Another image from the graffiti shoot with Max.  I love the quote.

BAMF!

Quick Hits!

- The Hendrickson household have gotten me smitten on The Office (both the US and UK versions).  Say goodbye to productivity!

- My room is getting cleaner and spacier! Just in time for Spring! (I really didn’t plan it that way, but the gods are kind)

- I feel really out of shape.  This may be due to the fact that I had a late lunch and a dinner to go to after this.  Hopefully I can hit the gym before the day is done.

- On a related note, *scroll down now if you are disgusted easily* I had a really good poop today and feel all of a sudden a lot healthier and in shape… =X  HOORAH!

- I find you funny and endearing when you act “weird,” just like dreamy Arima.

- Quote of the day: “F*ck me, shut UP! You are F*CKING kidding me! And you’ve got me cursing, too, and I never curse!”

- Lord Hero is actually plotted out for the foreseeable future! This is a grand milestone for he who never writes… or likes to plan.

- My new shirt came! Online shopping is like having a reliable pen pal: you know that it’s coming.  You may not know WHEN it’s coming, only that it IS coming, so thus, it is still a delightful surprise when it does come.

- On that note: this is clearly my justification for more shopping.

This is from a friendly photo shoot I recently shot with with Max. She’s having fun with Photoshop, while I’m just having fun.

BAMF!

Quick Hits

- I had my first “afternoon tea party” experience on Sunday. Suffice to say, I do feel more elegant and refined.

- Penny pinching..

- So there might actually be a fund raiser that involves a debate booth, me, and anyone who is willing to pay for a photograph. Now how’s that for scary?

- I have so many things to finish up…

- Need to clean the room.
- Big Jon and I had a good discussion about men and the “double-standard,” and by good I mean I don’t feel so bad anymore, knowing that other men out there feel just as I do about certain things involving the opposite sex. However, considering the fact that I have a fair amount of female readers out there, I wont divulge into details for fear of retaliation and bodily harm (though I slipped a bit during the debate meeting today…). What I WILL say, though, that it was nice to know I am not alone in my anxieties and I feel less of a jerk for it.

- I need to go shopping.

- I wish I could dress to “impress” a girl. Yes, I understand it’s harder for guys to do that for girls, but I mean, SOMETHING to let them know I tried beyond what is generally nice?? Hence shopping…

- I have started ebaying and may have become addicted. *Looks for things to sell*

- Hit the gym today, which felt like a sauna. I started sweating while I stretched…

- I am still looking for a subscription. It is just TOO fascinating for me NOT to read, though I feel it does divulge TOO much about men…

- Where’s the love?

A change of pace from the typical Chuck Taylors I always sport *weh* I like them.

BAMF!

Michael

For Wilton and Chassica

For two people I find thoroughly entertaining, utterly charming, and always welcome company.

BAMF!

Michael

P.S.: I personally am not entirely happy with how this turned out, but I hope it brings a small semblance of a smile to you both.

Quick Hits!

- For some reason it was really hard hitting the gym today. What the hell happened over the course of four days?!

- My DVD pile is getting bigger and bigger… at this rate, I shall never watch my copy of the Ten Commandments. HAHA Sorry, Big Jon.
- I was catching the end of “The Bachelor” earlier this evening and caught these words from the two competitors who were not chosen and had to leave the show…

“Did he make a mistake? I sure think he did. I mean,

I’d be into me.”

“I just… sniff… wish I could just… sniff… find SOMEone… who can see me to me than… sniff… a… sniff…. a…

…songwriter….”

Hence, my big stupid grin as I type this out.

- It’s not that it happens every five seconds, it only gets bad when that five seconds clings onto me and grows into a much longer length of time…

- I went to 7-11 today and it was glorious.

- Day dates? Pfft.

-

So in anticipation of Volume 3 coming out and the need to feel somewhat accomplished, I started and finished Volume 2 today while I was at work. Anyone who knows my geekier side knows I hold this series in high reverence and to be able to re-read in this over-sized format is a real treat. I actually shed a tear a few times while re-reading these particular issues. It’s a good thing no one paid attention to me at work…

Anyway, this stood out to me:

“Okay, here goes. Barbie’s idea.

It’s like, that people… well, that everybody has a secret world inside of them. I mean, EVERYBODY. All of the people in the whole world–no matter how dull and boring they are on the outside.

Inside them they’ve all got unimaginable, stupid, amazing worlds… not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands, maybe.

Isn’t that a weird thought?” - Barbie, A Game of You.

I can honestly say I have no clue what on Earth Wilton here is thinking (as I can only speak for myself) but I for one am enjoying the sandpaper-gruff of having not shaved that particular morning…

BAMF!

That third panel caused me quite some trouble before I finally settled on what you see above.

Twilight by Rooftop 

I am not particularly fond of this one.  Mind you, this took a ridiculous amount of time and energy *very indecisive at the time* and I like it for the most part, but I am not very happy with it.  Something is “off,” to me, anyway, though there are bits of it I particularly enjoy and stand out to me.  I am told I’m getting better with the program, so that means something.

Quick Hits

- Though I am keeping busy, I don’t feel particularly productive.  I hope this isn’t a quarter-life crisis *snickers*.

- Wrestlemania was awesome.  So awesome, in fact, that it reminded me of the fact that I may not yet be over my dream of one day becoming a professional wrestler…

- Every night at this time I get a craving for those tacos from Jack in the Box.  This started ever since I returned from Japan and I have yet to cave.

Time will tell how much longer I last…

- I am also craving a turkey leg form Disneyland.  Now THAT should concern some people @_@

- *Looks at legs* I have hairy legs.

- I am sorry, Greg, for yet again getting you sick.

- On that note, he came to me knowing I was sick to play games.

- I need to do some reading…

- I might join a dojo soon.  Let the laughter begin.

 You wouldn’t know it, but (just like in real life) I am weary of the white one…

BAMF!

Michael

I did this for my former roommate, Greg. He currently lives near me, so we are basically still roommates. Posting today on account that for some reason I am running off of a lot of energy and motivation to simply be productive.

Thanks for always listening to my rants and vents of frustration. *cheers*

BAMF!

Another post. My attempt to increase output and keep busy(er).

Falling Leaves in Spring Time 

Turned out better than I thought.  Use of black shadows and silhouettes, ala Mike Mignola.  Piggies on the far right.

BAMF!
