Unloaded a bunch of furniture just an hour ago. I'd just posted a notice a couple hours prior so it was a pretty good turnaround. A couple from the 8th floor dropped by and picked up about half my stuff and, so, I'll wait another day or two before I call the local thrift shop and have them pick up the rest. I still have my bed and a big couch to get rid of. Damn it.

My place is looking more and more like the empty room I excitedly moved into a few years ago which is forcing me to reflect on what I actually gained from moving to Vancouver. I'm not really sure to be honest. I had the fortune of living next to a downtown beach and not have to deal with East coast humidity (which was nice), did some snowboarding in Whistler, caught a Jays game in Seattle, went fishing on the Fraser, Climbed a few mountains and drew lots of comics. Not bad. I don't think I'd ever live here again but I'd definitely visit or come back to hang.

I saw Casino Royale the other day. Wicked movie. Daniel Craig played a super buff and gritty Bond which was a great change of pace from the recent pretty boy versions. The guy kicked some seriously righteous ass, man. Like, take-no-prisoner style. I really appreciated how it got away from the campy gadgets and groan-worthy one-liners. It's akin to how they rebooted the Batman franchise. Nice. The film was a bit too long but I can't complain. It was entertaining.

yeah, that movie was pretty sweet. Hated the romance part of it, but Daniel Craig is one hot man in a swimsuit.

I wish you gained more out of Vancouver than you did. But I've been here for almost 20 years, so I guess I'm biased.

Gonna miss seeing your art monthly on MJ. Has Marvel announced a replacement? You'll be pretty hard to follow.

Wish I was able to buy more art/sketches from you and got you to sign more books for me before you leave. Will BFX continue? Have an awesome time in Japan, kick some ass over there and keep your fans updated!

C - Usually it's the hawt chick rising out of the water and tossing her hair back. The role reversal was clever.

el b - Don't get me wrong. Van is a great place and I'm happy I moved here. I just need something bigger right now.

As for SMLMJ, Marvel hasn't announced anything yet but I've seen pages from the new artist and he's awesome. You won't be disappointed.

Yes, BFX will continue once I settle down after the move and I'll make sure this site is kept up-to-date with my shenanigans.
