Pluto.

For those of you that haven’t heard, a group of scientists last week have voted Pluto off this island of planets we call our Solar System and demoted it to what is known as a dwarf planet. For many of us, Pluto has been in our science books, in our culture, even in our cartoons.

Place Your Bets!

I’ve decided to go into the “bookie” business… I’m starting wagers on who will inherit the Earth. Due to recent events in the news, it looks like robots are out in front.

The legend of the Chupacabra!

Over the weekend, Farah and I were over my sisters having dinner with her, Mike, her husband, and their four kids.

What to do about Moussaoui…

What to do about Moussaoui… Zacarias Moussaoui is currently being tried for his part in the conspiracy that resulted in the attack on the World Trade Center.

Wondercon: 2006!

Wondercon: 2006!!! Last weekend I got to experience a comic book/sci-fi convention in San Francisco… I’m not really into comic books, but I have a friend, Tim, who loves them and who kept bugging me to go to this major comic event… I was hemming and hawing over it since the event wasn’t really my […]

News: The First Step in the Road to Peace.

After reading more tragic news today about the Islam vs. Denmark thing, I decided that, to hopefully distract the Muslim world from Denmark’s insulting cartoon, a more uplifting cartoon is in order to help ease tensions and hopefully start a road of peace between the Muslim’s, Denmark, and indeed, all nations and religions.

Farewell Bill and Ted

While visiting with my nieces and nephews last night, I found the eulogy that my nephew, Vitali, wrote for his pet hermit/tree crabs who recently died sitting on the kitchen table. For Christmas, Santa brought him some pet hermit/tree crabs. It was a hermit crab terrarium kit with a note that the crabs would arrive […]

In the news this week, A newspaper in Denmark is under fire from publishing a cartoon of the Muslim prophet Mohammed (or Muhammad, depending on which news source you read from) wearing a turban that’s shaped like a bomb. In the Muslim world, apparently, depictions, even positive ones, of Mohammed are forbidden in order to […]

Some friends and took a trip to Las Vegas last month… My long time friend, Tony, was throwing a birthday party for himself on Dec. 17th night at the Bellagio. From the day I decided I was going to go, I planned on driving… I love road trips and hate airports, so this seemed like […]

Groundbreaking Scientific Theory!

I actually wrote this one at in January of this year… But I wanted some art to visualize it and asked Derek to draw it up so it would be good art (since he knows how to draw), but he couldn’t find the time… So I decided, “screw it, I’ll draw it, it,ll suck, but […]

So, this American couple are driving around Canada, and they are lost. So very very lost. Finally they find a gas station. The wife goes inside and asks “Excuse me, could you tell me what city this is?” and the gas attendant says “Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.” She gets back in the car, puzzled. The husband says, […]

Adventure In Truckee!

Well, we’re back from beautiful Truckee/Donner Lake, California. I rode up with my 10 year old nephew, Nikolai who, along with his sister Karina, is a notorious button pusher.

So, I saw War of the Worlds last night… My bro’, Tim works projection at the Camera Theaters and he was test running the film to make sure he didn’t splice it upside down which would make the premiere audience “boo” him, so he invited me down to watch the test run. Hey Tim… It […]

Awesome Movie Reviews: Episode III, The Revenge of the Sith

Well, I finally saw Star Wars: Episode III, The Revenge of the Sith. All I can say is, I ain’t gay or nuthin’, but if Industrial Light and Magic had balls, I’d lick them for a month to show my gratitude. It was fuckin’ awesome!!! I saw it at the Century 22, on the smaller […]

Awesome Movie Reviews: Million Dollar Baby

I finally saw Million Dollar Baby. The movie stars Hilary Swank as a girl who wants to be a boxer… She harasses Clint Eastwood’s character to be her manager until he finally caves in and agrees. I don’t blame him for giving in, she’s kind of cute even with the horse teeth and that annoying […]

Yo! Yo! Mardy Grazzizle in da houz ya’ll – WHAT! WHAT! say yeah!!! HUP! HUP! HUP! HUP! ughhh….

If anybody ever tells you, “That’s just a stereotype, you shouldn’t base your judgments on stereotypes.”, ignore them… I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… Stereotypes perpetuate themselves. Other people don’t create the stereotype, the stereotype creates the stereotype. Last night, a few of us went downtown to the Mission Ale House for […]

Awesome Movie Reviews: Aliens of the Deep

Last weekend I went and saw “Aliens of the Deep” at the Imax in San Francisco. Before anyone gets too excited, there are no cool aliens eating a bunch of idiot spacemen. While those kind of movies are way cool… This ain’t one of them. Aliens of the Deep is a new documentary style (Think […]

Awesome Movie Reviews: Resident Evil: Apocalypse

I was somewhat disappointed with the first Resident Evil… It’s okay, but could have been cooler. I’d heard people say that Apocalypse sucked, but my roommate had gotten it through his mail order Blockbuster account, so I thought WTF… It’s here, it’s free, I’ll watch it. Now, I’ve noticed in the past that how good […]
