It's been a while. A long while. Not exactly sure of the time frame to be honest, but it may be far too long. Well, where was I? Air Force Basic Training, 323rd Training Squadron, Lackland AFB, Texas. Had a fantastic time. Grew a lot. Lost 15lbs, almost made honor grad, and met some great people(and some awful people.). Now, I'm at Tech School for Weather. Meteorology. Cloud science. Keesler AFB, Mississippi. I have about 6 1/2 months ahead of me and I'm looking forward to getting past it. I'm back. Look forward to my writing on the weekends primarily, as the weekdays are far too busy for that. Anybody miss me? Wouldn't be shocked if nobody remembered me, wasn't around that long in the first place.

I hold the world, but not the people in it.

Welcome back, Atlas. Please resume your duty of holding up the world. Things have been getting weird in your absence.

Some stories are like corn. It takes a few attempts and a few crops before you can grow the perfect earful. Also it takes a lot of time. Then some stories are like random roaches in the Walmart parking lot. Before you know it, they have run up your pant leg and are getting cozy with your privates.

Let's just say that's the last time I went to Walmart at 2AM in the morning.

Are you speaking from experience perchance

...What?

Saw three films recently, Arrival, Logan, and LEGO Batman. Gotta say, all three really blew my expectations out of the park and were fantastic films. Arrival was one of the best Sci-Fi films I have seen in a long time. You know why? It has a lot less to do with "DIE ALIEN SCUM" and more with actually just communication. It was fascinating and I loved it so much. The big reveal at the end and how it all played out just made it perfect. Definitely recommend seeing it. Logan was very good, a better representation of the character on the screen like he is in most comics. The language use was slightly off putting because it was like he was just given permission to swear so they wanted to use it as much as possible, haha. Other than that, the characterization was excellent as always from Hugh Jackman. Minor issue with the plot tho; I've read Old Man Logan, the comic it is based off, and the way Logan decides to hang up being a superhero is SOOOOOO much better and deeper and darker(not saying it being darker makes it better necessarily, but it works for what happened to him.) than what is shown and implied in the movie. Not as gripping, I thought. LEGO Batman. Near perfection. Jokes were great, references to Batman's long publication history, and all the supporting characters made it a top contender for film of the year and it's only April. Just saying.
