Check the date, I saw Tropic Thunder on Tues afternoon. I liked it!  My friend CJ had an extra pass to see a preview of the movie. I saw a little trailer a few days earlier and I knew Ben Stiller was in it. It is pretty dark, but they left a light on. Everyone in the cast was great. I think my favorite was Tom Cruise. Since I really laughed hard through a lot of the movie, it probably won’t do well. My parents don’t go to movies and if they saw this one I think they’d swear off on seeing a movie ever again. They tend to be more in touch with the rest of humanity than I.

Just to get things out of the way. I was in San Diego for the comic convention. It was nice. The after parties were fun. I still did an illustration for Sports Illustrated, and still have a few bugs to work out when illustrating while traveling. My buddy Patrick and his best friend Chris put me and my girlfriend up the last night. They acted as tour guide and couldn’t have been better hosts. They let us drag them to expensive bars and finally to the Dark Night movie. It was pretty darn good! We then hauled ass over to the airport and just made our flight. So the entire flight I had Batman movie scenes going through my head as I half slept on the plane

Here is last week’s Sports Illustrated. Barry Bonds (The current home run king) waiting for the call at the baseball All-Star break.
