Have you seen the movie Alien or the sequel Aliens? Until last night I hadn't. I've wanted to for a while I just never made it a priority, but now I have a reason. My friend, Shaun, is going to be part of a live production of the movie Aliens... on ice. That's right, Aliens on ice, like with skates. A local theater company, Old Murder House Theater, is putting it on and as soon as he saw it announced he contacted the director to offer his services. He's been watching Aliens since he was a kid and he's been skating for over ten years so it's like he was born to take part in this production. He hasn't met with them yet, but we're pretty sure he's going to be playing one of the Xenomorphs and it's going to be hilarious.
I highly recommend you check out some of this theater companies other productions to get an idea of why we're so excited about this. The only one we saw live was Back to the Future, but they've also done Die Hard, Home Alone, Robocop and Jurassic Park.
Today is November 5th and no doubt you've seen about a billion tweets and status updates about Guy Fawkes day which people only really know about because of V for Vendetta (myself included). But did you know November 5th is a special day for another reason? November 5th 1955 is the day Doc Brown slipped on his toilet while hanging a clock and get the idea for the flux capacitor. November 5th 1955 is the day time travel was invented! So go watch Back to the Future and be thankful for the great minds in science like Doc Brown.
I'm right handed, but I drew this Turtle with my left hand just to see how it would turn out. Actually I'm pretty impressed with my left-handed abilities. It took like ten times longer to draw this than it would have with my right hand, but still, it looks mostly like a Ninja Turtle, right?
