Hello, Greetings, Salutations, Aloha and, er, Kudos? It’s time for another Fun-Size Friday, another chance to go off on all sorts of random tangents, provided that each topic discussed is kept to no more than a hundred words. You may be wondering why I’d impose an arbitrary word limitation on myself. To that I say, what’s the point of writing if you don’t challenge yourself every once in a while? You may also be wondering why I don’t just get a Twitter account, to which I say, well…I don’t want to. Great, now I’m all self-conscious. Let’s move on.

I’ve never seen “Batman Ninja”, but based solely on the visuals and just the awkward vibe I get from watching the trailer for it, I’m not exactly in a rush. It’s a shame, obviously, since I can’t think of anything more suited for awesomeness than the idea of “Anime Batman”, but the execution just falls flat for me. I suppose the bar has been raised a bit higher ever since I saw this three-minute short by Wolf Smoke Studios a few years back. I’m no expert or anything, but come on, you gotta admit this looks better.
THE NIGHT IS SHORT
AND I AM BEAT.

I don’t know why I’m constantly surprised when I get to the end of a long work week and find myself completely exhausted, but here I am again, humbled and totally wiped out. Things are looking up though: I’ve got some new Jim Gaffigan comedy to watch, an Invader Zim movie to enjoy, and a few more comics I didn’t have time to read earlier. I hope you make some time for yourself as well, and that we come back next week fully rested and restored. That’s probably not how it’s gonna go, but I can dream.
Later!
