For what may seem like obvious reasons, I haven't had a lot of free time recently. This is one of the caveats of having a new grub in the house. I actually haven't had any time to read your posts. This doesn't mean I don't love you. I don't love you for other reasons. One of the things that has slipped, is some of my grooming habits. I haven't shaved or cut my hair in more than three weeks and I...
A month ago I gushed over Larry Downing's Single Action Colt Bowie. It's a beautiful knife. I'm still kinda in awe of it. Larry and I shared some emails. I made mention of the kind of budget I was working on and he made mention of how even though he was supposed to be retired, he was still fulfilling orders for the military, and making custom knives. He could make what I wanted, but I would ...
Maybe you knew my wife was having a baby, maybe you didn't. I don't talk about my wife here very much, mostly because I respect her privacy, but also because it makes it hard to pick up chicks on the internet if you're always going on about your wife. Ladies don't like that. The kid is supposed to drop in the next month or so depending on how antsy he gets. I've made a blog for following all ...
Wednesday is my off day at the gym, and I typically allow myself the small luxury of sleeping in until five or five thirty. So imagine my surprise when a tremendous crashing noise woke me up at almost exactly four in the morning. Leaping out of bed and running down stairs, I was expecting to confront a frightened cat who had pulled something large off a table. This has happened before. What I ...
So, Kim & I watched Watchmen last night. Now I'm not steeped in comics like, say, roninspoon . But I've loved Watchmen since I read it ten years ago and I reread it every year or so. There's a lot there to absorb and so far each re-reading has been rewarding. I was looking forward to the movie.
Having said that, I was sorely disappointed in the way the movie was put together. A lot ...
... a bit over time, and characters have developed or been dropped. A few months back I took a break from writing it to put together an introduction story, set 20 years earlier, that will hopefully debut on Roninspoon Theater sometime this fall or winter. With that completed, I've returned to the original story, which as yet doesn't have a title. It's a long one. What started out as a short story ...
Maybe you know, maybe you don't. I keep a number of blogs, some are updated more frequently than others. In an effort to spare most of you from the sure to dull musings of a new father, I created one that would cover the topics of parenthood and family activities. The most recent entry on that blog reveals the naming of my soon to be born child . This is kind of a big deal, so I elected to take...
I got a full nights sleep last night, and I'm mostly recovered from Comic Con. Always a blast, and always torturous on my knees, I have a real mixed relationship with Comic Con. This was my first year at a booth and I learned some valuable lessons and met some stellar artists. I also drank too much, slept too little and ate too infrequently. All you really care about is the pictures though, so ...
... by and yell at me. Just don't spit on me or throw things at me, I'm a delicate flower. I'll be in booth 4918 with World Famous Comics. I'll have some printed copies of the Roninspoon Theater comic to sell. I'll also be there representing some talented friends, most of whom will be selling a variety of original and printed art. Included on the roster are the likes of the Fillbach Brothers, Joe ...
You know, the one that updated frequently, and then just sort of stopped? It's back! Sort of. The Fillbachs got some breathing room and sent some more pages along. Not a lot though, so you won't get the same frequency of three pages a week. Instead we're going to one page every other Friday. For the time being. Hey, it's better than a punch in the face, which is also free.
