Pumping iron puts me in a contemplative mood. While running, yogar-ing, or doing some intense pec work I often find myself getting…ideas. Ideas for the future, for recipes, for work, and even for comics. It just so happened that I have a friend who makes comics so I shared some of my ideas with him [...]
Fiction: Bookhunter by Jason Shiga In the city that boasts its own comic book month, Portland’s annual Stumptown Comics Fest offers an array of comics books, graphic novels, and art books made by local and national artists.

Italian 203 has been pretty difficult so far. I have had to spend more time studying and memorizing vocab and grammatical rules, which means I have had less time to do class projects. I did, however, decide to do one of the final projects for class. It was to be a PowerPoint presentation on something, [...]

My friend Mason and I used to host an mp3 site where we and a few others would contribute songs, found sound, and other audio bits we thought were worth sharing. I have just learned the site will soon be taken down [and rightly so, it has been static for almost two years] and resurrected [...]

It’s true! Scott Pilgrim by Bryan Lee O’Malley – It has been awhile since I have been able to relate to a comic book character and their story so much. Granted, I have never dated anyone that required I battle all their exes Mega Man-style in order to continue dating them but then who hasn’t [...]
