KA-ME-HA-ME-.....whaaaaaa?

So we saw "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" today. Very fast-paced, entertaining, action-packed movie. I loved it, but I couldn't help but notice that the hand position for firing their "plasma blasts" looked like... well, a certain famous anime move.

They couldn't have made movies like this when I was younger, with all the CGI and the like... it's mind-boggling at the thought of what they may be able to do in another ten years' time.

I watched the final part of the Parody Rangers movie today (if you don't know what Parody Rangers is, it's a series of Flash cartoons spoofing Power Rangers. Not suitable for kids but it's hilarious, look for it on Newgrounds) and thought, "hmm, maybe I could draw a parody like that of my own for Graphing Mercury." Just what we need, a team of Super Sentai knockoffs! With Pokemon Megazords!

Actually, I do need to get back to drawing eventually. Maybe I can do that tomorrow, if we don't go somewhere for Dad's birthday. He's 59 tomorrow.

Yesterday, I checked online about the LEGO collectible minifigures. They're sold out, even on the online store. AND THEY'RE NOT MAKING ANY MORE. But wait, there's a happier ending! I registered on a LEGO-buying/trading site called Bricklink earlier in the year just in case, and I managed to buy a complete set from a very reputable vendor in Germany (over 2000 reviews and not a single negative one), so within a week or two I'll start getting impatient. Ha!

Oh, and since I didn't see your comment until recently (I've gotten lax checking my email), good to hear from you again, garnetash. I'd missed hearing from you! And thank you, I really mean it.
