It's officially too hot and too sticky. My fan is on pretty much non-stop and I'm tempted to hide under the A/C soon but not yet! I like seeing a cheap electricity bill... Oh, speaking of bills... I realized I was being double billed for my internet since I forgot to cancel my old service. I switched to a super-fast service earlier this year and failed to, uh, follow up on the paperwork. All it took was one phone call actually. A phone call that cost me about $250 bucks! Dammit!

Kinda curious to checkout the Life-sized Gundam in Odaiba. An abundance of pics and video footage have been flooding about already but I know it won't compare to seeing the real deal. As far as I've found, only the head swivels with smoke effects from the chest and legs. I was hoping for more movement but it IS just a statue afterall.

I watched X-men 1 & 2 last week while working (I skipped 3). I was reminded how good those movies were. They really are. The claws through the swat guy and into the fridge scene with much manly panting afterwards by Wolverine is my favourite. That one scene beats the entire Wolverine origins movie. lol

The summer movie line-up isn't all that great this year but I really wanna see MOON by Duncan Jones. The trailer looks awesome and had me hooked upon first viewing. Although, I have a feeling it's gonna take ages for it to reach Japan. Dammit!

I've been eating out way too much lately. Dinner with friends, ramen at the local shop and bento boxes from the 7-11... Now THOSE all taste the same after a while. I kinda feel like shit too plus it's not very wallet-friendly so, yeah, it's back to cooking for the next little while. Lotsa seasonal veggies. It's summer afterall!

One healthy thing I HAVE been doing is not smoking. It's been exactly 3 months today. The dire craving part is gone but I'm still dependent on Nicorette a few times during the day so I can't exactly say I've quit. It's nice not stinking and coughing all the time, though. I'm getting really busy lately and my nicorette count has gone up but I'm doing well and staying focused. I can do it, yo!

Yeah, yeah. It's been, like, a month. I've been busy doin' shit and seeing people. I saw Star Trek! Although they were really bad seats... Second row from the front, yo! My neck didn't appreciate the agony but it was an entertaining movie. I couldn't help shake the fact that young Spock was played by Sylar!? What?? And Sulu was Harold!? What?? Haha. Nah, it was a fun ride. I didn't care much for the villian and his motives (which didn't make sense at all) but the rest of the film was good and energetic enough to forget about all that. No doubt there will be a million sequals and it'll make millions and billions of dollars in the coming years.

So, I've been busy with some work in Japan but I've also managed to squeeze in a coupla covers for Marvel. They are having 70^th Anniversary variants on some of their books and I was asked to draw Kitty Pryde and Molly so here are the pencils. You'll have to get the books to see the final versions. Hah!
