No comic this week

No comic this week. I've fallen behind, I was ahead of myself, but now I've fallen behind. I started to do a comic earlier today, but I found that my pen was out of ink. I'll likely pick up a new pen tomorrow. I'll try to get back ahead of myself again.

I have a new video up on my other blog. This time I'm covering the auditions for the upcoming Acoustic Cafe show here. I was told that there were some problems with the playback so I'm going to upload the video to Youtube and then embed it into the post.

I should have something up here next week so check back next Monday.

Pockets

There wasn't a whole lot that went on with me this week. It was a good week, but nothing really to report. I am starting to get to work on my video projects. So I have a story that I'm working on for I-news that will be shown on Thursday, and I will even be on camera. You can subscribe to I-news (that's BYU -- I's newscast) on iTunes. Just search BYU-I or even I-News and it should pop up. I'm planning on posting the video projects I do this semester on my other blog as well. I hope your week is awesome.

Penguin

This week was a week of movie watching for me. My school projects are still in the planning in the planning stages so I haven't had a lot of work out side of class just yet. So I wound up seeing three movies this week.

First The Princess and the Frog- which has the distinction of being the first hand drawn film from Disney in a long time and having their first black princess. This is all anyone seems to talk about when they talk about this movie. It's a good one actually, it was quite funny and it looks great. The songs are not particularly memorable. I couldn't have hummed you a single one as soon as the film ended but they weren't grating or really all that bad. So that's two years in the a row that Disney has released a good animated movie with 2008's Bolt and now The Princess and the Frog. I hope they are able to keep this up.

Second Whip It - Apparently my friends haven't been getting too much homework yet either, because I found myself going with a friend and my brother to Whip It. Whip It is a comedy about a girl who joins a roller derby league without her parents knowing. It's directed by Drew Berrymore and she plays a small role in the film as well. Ellen Page stars. And it's a lot of fun, the girls in the roller derby league all take on aliases that sound both feminine and violent and funny. Smashly Simpson, Babe Ruthless, Rosa Sparks. The movie thankfully explains how roller derby works and while the roller derby is prominent like the best sports movies that's not all there is to it. This one was my favorite out of the movies I saw this week.

Lastly The Fourth Kind - We saw this one more out of obligation. When my friend heard that there was a movie called the fourth kind coming out she asked me what the fourth kind was. We researched it and learned that a close encounter of the fourth kind is an alien abduction. Since we did all that research we figured we aught to see it. And it was at the cheap theater. It's not really all that scary of a movie like we thought it might be. There are a few tense moments but really not that scary. And in spite of its claims of truth --it goes so far as to have it's star Milla Jovovich introduce the movie and explain that its a dramatization of real events and that real video will be used along with dramatized video from time to time -- we did some poking on the internet after wards and it looks like there is suspicion that the whole things was faked. Like the fact that no one can find any record of a psychologist named Abigale Tyler, and Universal paid $20,000 in settlement for some newspaper articles they frabicated. Can't say I'd recommend this one even as just a piece of entertainment. We got a lot of laughs out it, but the movie didn't intend them for sure. I'll never look at owls the same way again though "The Owl is smiling at me! I hate when it smiles."

My brother was looking up anagrams on the web today and tried one for Clint Eastwood the anagram he got was "Old West Action." The man's very name destined him to be a star of Westerns.

Water cooler

I've never worked anyplace where people stand around the water cooler and talk, but it seems to be on TV fairly often. Maybe people actually do this, but I've never seen it. That's where this one came from. I don't know if I like the falling cup in the last frame. I thought that having Steve's other hand up to his mouth didn't look good though, and so when I switched hands I realized that something had to happen to that cup, so I drew it falling.
