The Good and the Bad

Well, that was one hell of a week, wasn't it?

My memories of Robin Williams are really tied up to my childhood, growing up in the 90's. He seemed to be everywhere at that time, Aladdin, Mrs. Doubtfire, Jumanji, and his talents seemed to be endless. He was always one of those figures I thought would last forever, as I had never known a world without Robin Williams, to some extent. He was like Star Trek on TV, one of those pop-culture fixtures that would always endure, and his loss is all the more tragic because of it. He brightened the lives of millions of people, and I wish his family all the best in these trying times for them. Thank you for everything, Robin.

On a more positive note, I also saw Guardians of the Galaxy this past week and really enjoyed it. I was a big fan of Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning's run on the comic book (check it out if you haven't already), and this movie encapsulated so much of what I loved about the comic; lots of action, some great humour, Rocket Raccoon... Even the stuff I was a little unsure about, like having Ronan the Accuser as a straight up villain, or the lack of Mantis and Phyla-Vell, ended up turning out okay in the end. Yet again, it's another great installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, although I do hope they ease off the Infinity Gem stuff until Avengers 3.

And finally, the next chapter of The Grey Path is up, yay! Thanks for your patience on that, the writing process was a bit disjointed at times and it took longer than I had hoped. Hope you all enjoy.
