Thoughts on Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace

The last time I watched this movie, I was around eight years old, having rented it from Food City. I'm glad to have watched it again, and on the big screen to boot.

Primal Jack

Found this image courtesy of Reddit. It was too good not to share.
Speaking a little more seriously though, it's interesting to look at this and compare/contrast the two characters' designs and the respective art styles of their shows.

I Am Back

Hey everyone. I'm sorry for being so quiet these past few days, but Internet connections were pretty crappy at both the hotel and at the convention, so I figured I'd just save the big response for when I finally got home and unpacked.

Hey everyone. I'm sorry for being so quiet these past few days, but Internet connections were pretty crappy at both the hotel and at the convention, so I figured I'd just save the big response for when I finally got home and unpacked.

Causeacon was pretty fun! It definitely took a fair bit out of me to get there, set up with Dad and be at the table for so much of the day... but there were lots of fun cosplays to see, I got some goodies (more on all of that another time), and Dad also sold nineteen books all in all, so I'm pretty willing to consider my first ever convention experience... a success.
