A Dog's Breakfast


So for awhile now i've been wanting to watch A Dog's Breakfast but just never got around to doing it. At the beginning of the week I noticed that it was only $3.98 on Amazon and so I could wait no longer and placed the order. Yesterday it arrived along with a copy of Doctor Who: Tomb of the Cybermen that I scooped up for an impressive 9 bucks. A Dog's Breakfast wound up being even better than I had thought it would be. I was afraid that my love for David Hewlett's character of McKay on Atlantis would cause me to adore the film regardless of its quality. Luckily for my peace of mind it was well written and directed. Paul McGillion gave a brilliant performance as Ryan. I especially enjoyed his scenes when he's outside on a ladder jamming to some tunes, cleaning cobwebs whillst wearing a santa hat. Needless to say I would recommend this film to anyone, even if you have no idea who the actors i'm talking about are. On a side note if you're completely out of the loop; Paul McGillion will be appearing at the 2010 Wizard Chicago Comic Con in August. I will definitely have to search him out and get him to autograph my copy of the film.

Chet is a Dick

Chet the Dick
Hello fair people of the world. I am going to finally establish a blog that I will at least attempt to maintain on a consistent basis. That being said I do hope that some individuals will stumble across this page and enjoy a little humor and get their geek on so to speak. I read comics, I love movies and I collect toys that strike my fancy. I have an amazing girlfriend that I had the honor of celebrating a one year anniversary with today, but more on that later. I am an aspiring writer, mainly focusing on a particular comic book idea at the moment, but I don't want to turn into one of those douchebags that rambles on and on about all of the things i'm going to do in life but never accomplishes anything at all. That would indeed be a great tragedy to me. I won't promise that i'll update this every single day and hell there might even be days that I make three or four posts but I do hope that nerds across the land stumble across me.

So for our one year anniversary Ash and I journeyed back to the Indianapolis Zoo. Which is actually where I took her one year ago today. We had a pretty sweet time except for one section. You see, if you've never been there, the Indianapolis Zoo has a section they call "Encounters" which they probably thought was a sweet name considering it's just farm animals in that section. Although I will say that they do have a pretty sweet scottish highlands cow but I digress. In this section of the zoo resides a pony. This particular pony goes by the name of "Chet". Ash wanted a picture of me standing next to this pony but he kept retreating to his tiny little building whenever we came near. However, if anyone else came near, mainly small children, then this pony would come out and greet them and allow all the younglings to pet him. So my question at the end of the day is short and sweet: Why is Chet such a dick?
