Week in Review

Books of the week- read a few of small graphic novels. one is forgettable, the other is Locke and Key- Welcome to Lovecraft. Written by Joe hill, drawn by Gabriel Rodriquez, colored by Jay Fotos, and published by IDW. This was a really cool read. Great dialogue, and the relationship with the characters was believable. Its a bit of a funky horror story and the art was solid.

Also read the first Powers story arc Who killed Retro Girl. not a huge fan of the art style in this one but it worked for the story. Now I am a huge Brian Micheal Bendis fan, and for the most part the story itself and the pacing was well done. With that said, for me there was a little too much dialogue and not enough action, plus the ending was just a bit of a fizzle fest. Still a decent read.

Movies- Rewatched a few of my favorites this past Sunday. The Boondock Saints, and Scarface. This are just 2 of my all time favorite movies ever. Also watched a low budget Australian horror flick called Undead. Gotta tell you it was a weird movie. The Quick highlights are as follows, zombies, aliens, and creepy redneck abductee with John Woo moves. It was a fun little flick that will not make into my collection but I am glad I watched it.

I did some decent sketching and drew a decent supergirl pic. Now if only I had a scanner so I could post my art. Other than that the highlight of my week was getting my rock climbing shoes and getting out yesterday for the first time in way too long to do some climbing, and man am I feeling it today.

If your looking for some decent cheap climbing shoes try out the Montrail Zealots. They come with montrails signature Gryptonite soles, and 2 velcro straps. They handle the Georgie granite like a champ. They have a very snug fit, and really did the job well. The only issues I have is one, due to my need for something cheap and my dislike of REI, I ordered them online through Mountaingear.com. I ordered a size larger than my street shoe size, but they are way too tight in the toes. This is due in part to my wide ass duck feet and not getting them sized in a store. For the price though I cant complain.

Well thats my week and as always I apologize for not being very good at reviewing, I'm just a simple dork who shares his simple thoughts
