Last time, I said I was through with Oz related stuff for a while, but the very next thing I watched was this very odd little independent film.  It feels more like a play than a movie.  It's hard to rate the actors because the performances are not what I'd call naturalistic and the way people talk in this movie is not how they talk in real life.  However, there's a tearful scene between "Dorothy," the Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow that I actually found rather moving.   But it's such a weird movie, I'm not sure who I'd recommend it to.

I lucked into a couple passes to an advance screening of Star Trek Into Darkness last Wednesday, so I invited my brother along as my guest, and I'm very glad I did.  A) It was far more enjoyable with company and B) he was the one who recommended we get there two hours early, which was the absolute right call, because we snagged what might have been the last two really good seats in the auditorium.  The time passed more quickly with someone else there and I didn't feel like a loser the way I would have if I'd been alone.

I was desperate to find someplace I could share my art and get feedback on it.  :iconlaughingman008: was the one who first introduced me to the site.

I think new year's resolutions are kind of stupid, like you can only decide to make changes in your life the same time you change calendars, but I've been thinking that one thing I might resolve to do in 2010 is try my hand at some kind of ongoing comic.  That's something I've always wanted to do, but I just can't seem to find the motivation.

Write out the names of your characters and explain
1) how you thought of their name
2) what made you create the character in the first place
3) how the character has changed over time (if they have changed)
4) any random fun fact about that character

I don’t know how interesting this will be to anybody.  After all, I haven’t done enough to develop or establish my own characters.  To my annoyance, hey exist more as half-baked notions in my head and incomplete doodles rather than as fully realized individuals.  But here are the stories behind a few of them anyway:
