Still... You have to admit that guy's pretty good. He deserved that raise.

A tad late on this black and white one. I wanted to test a new pen from a japanese brand I've got: namely a N°600EF Tashikawa pen. It's good. Pretty good, I say. It's hard enough for my hard grip. The ink flows nicely, even at high speed lines. And it gives really fine ones. However it isn't suited for western styles inking, because of it's hardness I can't give enough variation to the line without harming the paper. However it's perfect for detailled backgrounds and, obviously, manga styled inking. Though, the Winstor and Newton ink quality has a too high viscosity for this pen. After a short time the nib can't draw a clean line anymore.
I have to try it with a more fluid ink like the Pelikan brand, which has the drawback to bleed into the paper.

I have no idea what a "razor for real men" should actually look like. However... I should perhaps have gone with these.

Based on a true experienced story. Well... Except the ending obviously.

This experience made me wonder about something.... When people are bored and want to complain about it, it's impressive the amount of energy they waste only for doing so. Compared to the energy they use for doing something constructive, it's awfully huge.

Being a kid doesn't excuse this. Because in this case a kid was not tired or it was not because his ears were hurting. He was simply bored to hell for crying almost the whole 8 hours long flight to make this fact clear. If it were the first two, he would simply collapse from exhaustion. Also let us avoid feeding his plan to get as much attention as he could get by bringing him along all the hallways of the plane; so everybody could get his share of kiddy complaints. It's far from cute. The mother or father can just bring him to the toilets and stay there with him until he stops - no need to say anything; the parent has to stay silent and the kid will understand sooner or later.

This applies also to adults.

I guess you can spot the reference.  And I'm pretty sure someone already did this bad pun. Also I will get sued for it.

I would have chosen the style of the Twilight mang... heam... sorry... graphic novel. But it hurt my eyes so badly I went for this art style instead. And I wa... What do you mean I can't appreciate good shoujo just because I'm a guy? Well if it's good shoujo manga you're talking about, go read Kimi ni Todoke. Then we can talk.

Still on the Twilight saga topic there's no secret that the four respective books, and the movies, are titled Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. Guess how those titles are translated into french. Although it isn't only typical for France, the translators and some Executive Meddling can't help but to give some originality to their work for the sake of linguistical patriotism. Hence the respective translations : Twilight - Fascination, Twilight - Tentation (english: Temptation), Twilight - Hésitation, Twilight - Révélation.
I guess, given the demographic the marketers were aiming, it had to be made clear that the four books are about the same story. However the subtitles don't seem to fit with the original versions. Actually they do. Well... To me at least.
With the first one I was fascinated that there was so much fans for that; especially girls. Then the second one I was tempted to actually see the movie (and read the book). Now with the third I'm hesitating to buy a ticket (and the book). And the fourth which will reveal to me I would simply have lost time and money.
See? The french titles fit!
