Dumb Update (Dumpdates?)

I haven't drawn much other than tattoo stuff lately, and when I'm not at the shop I'm blobbed at home. I'm finally halfway through Cowboy Bebop. I like all the characters, but I find Ed really obnoxious. I like it, but it does feel like it has a lot of filler, like "Monster of the Week" scenarios. Granted, a lot of older animes are like that -- Like Inuyasha, Sailor Moon, etc.

Things:

-The Christmas Cactus is not dead yet. Yay!

-Me and Alex MAY be going to see Shang-Chi this weekend, which is whatever to me because I have Marvel fatigue, but I'm interested in Marvel characters that aren't cookie cutter. He's feeling pretty burnt out by Marvel too; We are hesitantly cautious. Has anyone seen it yet?

-We are going to my friend's ranch the weekend of the 18th. For those of you that have been around a long time, I'm sure you heard about the ranch. I've written a journal about being there before. It's haunted!

-My sister-in-law is in our city for a few months, so I'm getting to know her. She's surprisingly liberal (for being from bumfuck Virginia) and pretty perky. I'm going to try to go rock climbing with her sometime this week...
