Today I bought the Bluray version of "Hulk VS", the new animated movie from Marvel. It's comprised of two short films, Hulk VS Wolverine and Hulk VS Thor. I enjoyed them both very much. The animation was cool and both stories each had their own unique tone. Of course, if you've been following the project then you know that the main reason to watch it isn't to see Hulk, or Wolverine, or Thor. It's to see Deadpool! And yeah, he's pretty awesome. So, Hulk VS gets a thumbs up from me.
I like Hulk has a character, but my view of him is forever tainted. Towards the end of December of 2007, there was a big family get-together and I was hanging out with my cousins, some of whom are quite young. One of them, a 5 year old boy genius, was talking to me and said something about "Hoak". I was like "Hoak? Who is Hoak? What is Hoak?" and he said "Incredible Hoak!" I laughed so hard. That, for some reason, amused me to no end. I know, that's just how kids talk, but I honestly had no idea he was trying to say "Hulk". So we all had him telling us stories about "Incredible Hoak". I guess you just had to be there. But a few months later I would be reminded of this almost everyday, when the Incredible Hulk movie came to theaters. Every time I saw a commercial for it, I would be reminded of "Hoak" and start laughing. I liked that movie too. But somehow I think the adventures of the "Incredible Hoak" might be more entertaining than anything.

Working Turmoil
I had thought, or at the very least hoped, that 2009 was going to start of well. No such luck, by the looks of things.
Today I should have started a new teaching job at an art studio in Toronto. I was really looking forward to it, and they were excited to have me on board. Everything seemed like it was going OK, but due to lack of enrollment all around, it's not happening. I'm disappointed but I knew it was always a possibility that it wouldn't wind up working out this time, especially with the economy the way it is.
However, I do have to wonder that if parents are less likely to sign kids up for art classes these days, is the same true for sports teams as well? I highly doubt it. But that's a rant for another day.
Anyway, I still have the after school program I'm currently teaching. It's something to do, at least. The behavior of some of these kids is often pretty pathetic, unfortunately. And surprisingly, it's the older group that is the worst. It is quite frustrating, and that combined with the trek back and forth from the bus stop in the cold is leaving me really tired and worn out. But at least I'm getting paid.
Trying to work on some new art. Stay tuned.
