Thoughts and observations from a quirky cartoonist and designer.

Inconsequential Thoughts

October 26th, 2005 with 14 comments.

Have you ever had those moments where you completely forget whatever it was you were supposed to do? Despite meticulously jotting said “to-do” item in an event planner, journal, online app or just a plain piece of paper you still forget. It doesn’t matter if you used a blue pen, if you were practicing yoga at the time or flying 2,000 feet over the Indian Ocean, we rarely remember everything we need to accomplish, even when we write them down.

Vision

Blue EyeThey say that one of the tell-tale signs that you’re getting older is when your eyes just aren’t working like they used to. If you think about, we take our vision for granted and that’s because there’s rarely a moment when someone will ponder whether or not their eyesight will ever fail them. Rather, we just are under the impression that like our health, our eyes will never stray from being in good working condition and that we’ll never have to resort to glasses or contacts, or anything that we’d need to depend on to flip through the pages of a book or refrain from tripping over a fire hydrant.

Young Frankenstein

October 18th, 2005 with 10 comments.

Young FrankensteinOf all the Halloween films made in the past 30 years or so, one of my favorites to this day is Young Frankenstein. More of a comedy than a fright or gorefest, this Gene Wilder/Mel Brooks collaboration released in 1974 is not only one of the funniest movies made (right up there with Blazing Saddles and History of the World), it’s also the perfect Halloween movie, paying homage to the classic Universal horror films of the 1930s and 40s.

Adjustment

October 10th, 2005 with 5 comments.

Control ValveAdjustment is an unavoidable, vital aspect to the stability of life, such as a control valve that changes the water level of a river. In a sense, adjustment means recognizing, adapting and changing something in any given circumstance so as to make it suitable for one’s own benefit.
