Yes I Am Back
And so are you, I see. Yet the pages are still not archiving. Can you tell me why they are not archiving? Can you? HUH?
Of course, I have not fixed up the sidebar, but unless we figure out a way to archive stuff, it makes no sense to start the comic, or a new "reviews" section.
C'mon Dave, stop doing that thing you call "work" and get on the ball! ;)
(The above text is mostly said in a joking tone. Mostly.)

Well, I'm Finally Back
But it seems our esteemed webmaster Dave has pulled a Houdini and vanished. No matter. I'm sure no one reads what we've posted here anyways.
My brother has moved in with me, so the comic is forthcoming. I will add the links to the side for the review page along with a link to my new account on deviantART.com.
That's all for now.

"It's Not My Fault"
A Very quotable line from Star Wars, and a very good reaction to any of our 4 readers who wish to point out to me that I promised an update to the buttons you see directly on the left-hand side of the screen. It was my plan to perform this feat last weekend, but it got delayed and I was going to do it today. Now I will not be around until the 6th of June concerning matters best left till another time, if you really care at all. I will be back, there will be an update, and I even have one more addition now that it has taken this long.
While I am gone, if Dave happens by our site, it would be great if he perchance were to look into the fact that our previous blogs are not in fact archiving, and that i have no idea how to archive the comic when it commences. Theses are things I need Dave to look into, as I am busy as all heck.
Vale!

Previews!
I love movie previews. I could sit and watch them all day. Just some brief notes on previews I've seen recently at Star Wars and Hitchhiker's Guide.
Chicken Little- I've found myself drawn into their ad campaign, mimicking other movie trailers. I doubt i'll actually go to a theatre to watch this, but I'm sure I will watch it at some point.
War of the Worlds- Eh. Something bad is happening in this trailer. Something that will change the world. OoOoOo. Pass.
Stealth- W...T...F...
Batman Begins- I was looking forward to seeing this. But the last preview and the preview shown after the last Smallville have totally turned me off. I like my Batman fighting the Joker and Riddler and playing with his cool toys. Not being the new Karate Kid training in Tibet. At least we finally learn just why Batman is such a badass. He was trained by a Jedi Master.
Fantastic 4- I really had no desire to see this at all. Felt like another Hulk or Daredevil waiting to happen. But the new trailer has made a believer out of me. I still think the Thing looks like a giant turd, but the rest of the team looks great. The effects look great and from the trailer it looks like it will be a good blend of action and comedy. Hopefully it will follow in the footsteps of Spidey and the Xmen. This is Marvel's First Family, they deserve a decent flick finally, not the crap like Marvel pumped out for their afore mentioned second stringers.

The End of a Saga
It was a good end too. All the big plot points were hit, as Dave said; and he is right, don't think you know the whole story without seeing, or at least having someone detail the major points of this movie. Lucas actually had me wishing Anakin wasn't so dead set on becoming a Sith, and Obi Wan developed more into the character who he will eventually be. Most of the other characters were good; JarJar was mercifully silent, Bail Organa was well acted, if a bit under-used, and Yoda has many character building scenes. Some of the characters could have definitely used more screen time, mainly some of the characters from the originals who had what amounts to cameos in this one. Padme and her sceens could have been cut down considerably, I don't care if Natalie Portman is "hot" or whatever. The woman simply cannot act or she was not given lines that she felt were believable, though I think it to be a bit of both. On the whole though, I will most likely go see this again in the theater, and will most likely pick up the other earlier ones. Just for kicks and giggles.
Both this and the post below will be moved into our section for reviews this weekend.

Better than the first two...
Well I went into episode 3 with very low expectations, as opposed to the way i had hyped myself up for episode 1. I'm glad to say that my expectations were met and even exceeded. Storywise, I wont really say anything, as everyone knows going into the film what plots points must be achieved here and what questions must be answered. Granted there were a few unexpected hints and revelations that ever so slighty filled out the story.
I can believe that Obi-Wan will become the grizzled old hermit introduced 28 years ago. The part was played quite well. And this time around I hated Anakin for the reasons we are actually supposed to hate him for as opposed to the reasons we've hated him for the last 6 years.
Good film, might see it again in the theatre, definitely will pick up on dvd.

The Final Episode
My wife and I have tickets to the opening of the final Star Wars movie, Revenge of the Sith. I will tell you how it was (with as little spoilers as possible) when I have seen it. Woohaa!
This brings me to a new point. At the behest of nothing so great as my own desires there will soon be a few more links and additions to the site. The first will be a review of various "dork" media that Dave and I have sampled. My first will be of the new Star Wars movie, and I'm sure that Dave would love to tell all our readers (all 4 of you) what Guild Wars is like. We'll start up reviewing movies that are gone to, new games that we play, with some amount of infrequency. The second addition will be a link to my newly created accout on deviantART. My work, once I have digitized, sized and fiddled with it, will be up for display, and even for purchase as prints in the not too distant future. As for the comic, I have been working ever so diligently (read: sketching) at it, and as my partner-in-crime brother will soon be joining me in my current abode, the comic will come to fruition some time within a month. Then all I have to do is figure out a way to archive the dang thing. Think about it readers, I'll finally have to do some art.
Vale!

Otherwise known as HD.com; that's right, we have zero in the real content category. So help us fix this. Anyone who comes here, please hit the "comments" button below this entry and tell us, what would you come here to see? Besides the flailing attempt at a web site by two really big geeks, that is.

A Brand New Look
I have given the site yet another work of my art! The sidebar buttons are spiffy even.
Speaking of spiffy and art, I may put up some of my art here, if Davey lets me. Tell us what you think (all 3 of you). Should I use this as a place to whore my art?

Wordstock Was A Bust
And not the kind you are all thinking of, sickos.
We met a nice author that my wife has met before. Other than that, nothing good to report, at least for the first year of this event.
I guess greasy nerds just make events better.

A General Lack of Efficiency
IF you visit this little slice of heaven, you may noticed that we don't do a whole heck of a lot here. That is because, as web space goes, this site is still in it's infancy. Once this place gets up and moving, we'll be in business. But unfortunalty, the comic will have to wait until my brother decides he's ready to move down to where I am, as trying to create anything even minorly worth reading at this point would be like trying to wade through hip-deep molasses for 50 miles just to pick flowers. It would be an exercise in ultimate futility. As for the templates, I'll get to them when I'm good and ready. The more I look at this theme, the more I want something new up here, but currently I have little or no inspiration.
On the plus side, Portland has the most wonderful festival this weekend, named Wordstock. Many authors, free panels, probably signings. Kind of like a convention, but without the greasy nerds (which is sometimes fun, as the grease lights on fire easily, but the cleanup is a killer).
Valē!

Of Cons and Things
I went to Norwescon. I found out how bad hotels screw you. I had fun and met Todd Lockwood, Michael Whelan, and a few other cool illustrators.
Somehow, I happend to have missed the memo, but it appears my other web half has run off to Disneyland. Or not.
My wife recently got anime. This was A) for her birthday B)4 fricking series and C) enough to occupy her for long enough to allow me to visit with the whole 3 people who may or may not ever see what I have written here.
So, that's it for now. Oh except this. Please leave comments here as to the color scheme, and general "look" you would like this site's default template to have.
Thanks again!

Allergies Suck, and other Pertinent Information
The pollen has gotten to me so bad that I had to take Allergy stuff. Kind of like Cough syrup, only not.
On news of this site, I hope to have a basic template (no this is no the basic one) and a few themed ones up by about May. With any luck, the Comic will also be up around that time. Hence, if you currently come here to laugh at Davey Whit's inability to html code without raping it, there will be something else for you to visist our site for.
I'm thinking of using the old Tag-line for the basic template, just so you can all follow my train of though. Either that, or I'll use the one my wife and I have been teasing about for days, "Davey Whit Broke Me".
Farewell.
Edit: It turns out it was not allergie but a butt-kicking cold. I have been down in bed for the last 2 days because of it. Thought you would all really care to know.
