I have a habit of checking out the oddities page on Canada.com. Today I was surprised to find my home county in the news! Apparently we have a rat problem.

I went to 8-Mile on Saturday and was entertained. The main thing I didn't like was the ending. I don't think I am spoiling too much to say that this could have ended so much better than it did. What, did the writer inspire himself so much that he had to go be a rapper right this very second - before he could even finish the script? I enjoyed the rap battles and would have been okay seeing more. The sex scene however, was plenty long. Now I know what gratuitous means.

If you had planned on seeing 8-Mile, by all means go. But if you are just a casual movie goer, my advice is to wait for the rental.

Enough was this weekend's rental. Though it received bad reviews I really enjoyed this movie. Watch this one with your sweetie.

There seems to be a lot of geek-centric material coming out in the last few weeks. First Spider-Man, now Star Wars. In a couple of weeks it will be Lord of the Rings.

I guess that's good marketing for you. Gear up those big ticket sellers for the holidays when you know geeks for miles around will be lined up around the block for the privilege to bring a copy into their own home.

I'm pitching another story arc that is similar to last week. I know this just looks like I'm recycling ideas, but quite frankly, I'm getting a real thrill out of dressing up the characters in different costumes. It's good to stretch your artistic muscles every now and again.

Speaking of which, I've started to employ some new coloring and highlighting techniques. I hope you noticed them. Aric from Fish Strips noticed so he gets the free link for today!

The weather in Iowa is totally backwards right now. On Saturday, it was in the high 60's, sunny and pleasant. Sunday night, the wind is howling like a banshee and it's snowing.

It's enough to make you want to sleep. And I do. So I will.

Goodnight!
