Hi to my all-too-patient viewers. In the likely event that some of you are unaware of what is going on, I have been having some computer problems over the past months. Basically, I have been without internet or a functioning OS since two months ago (long story). While this means that I have been taking some time off from finishing pages, I've had a lot of time for sketching up-coming scenes, which will expedite my process without a doubt. Another bit of good news is that the end of all of this is now in sight. I just have to wait for my internet to be turned on and all should be well with my world.
In the meantime though, I've been doing my best to help with preparations for the JKA/AF annual training camp which will once again take place in New Orleans, this time at UNO. The JKA/AF is inviting all interested karate-ka of any organization to come and participate. The guest instructor this year is Kenro Kurasako, who is both a JKA headquaters' instructor as well as a standing director and vice general manager of the JKA's technical division. Clinics will feature beginner and advanced kata kihon and kumite. To download a registration packet, for the camp please see the JKA/AF's website:

It was a funny thing to be alone in my parents' house last night running back and fourth between the TV room and office in attempts to both watch the most historic football game in my hometown's history... and bring you the next page of Shizentai minus my poor recently deceased laptop. I'm not typically a football fan, but it's hard not to like a group of people who can succeed despite being told by everyone that they could not.
Additionally, as I have recently begun working as an entomologist in the Audubon Insectarium, I have been privy to some of the long-understudied effects of professional football on biology nerds. case in point, the Indianapolis Zoo:
Indianapolis Zoo Animals with Superbowl XLIV predictions
well... as entertaining as that was, at the Audubon Insectarium in New Orleans, my bosses had this to say in response:
A saintly rap, brought to you by GWE (Geeky White Entomologists)
Well, when all is said and done, I thought it was a great game. I'd say both teams played like champions despite the fierce rivalries between their fans (biologist and non-biologist alike).
As my city basks in the glow of its team's first Superbowl and first Superbowl victory, I am beginning to see a sobering near-future crisis involving my car parked in the French Quarter for work, and the millions of the Who Dat nation who will be descending on very same corner for the Saints' parade tomorrow afternoon.
I get the feeling that I won't make evening karate class.
