Sarah Jane Smith
Tonight, a customer asked for a drawing of Sarah Jane Smith, another new one for me. I really like the way she came out. She always had that same pouty look on her face, and her hair was all over the place. (Real Doctor Who / Tom Baker fans will remember the striped overalls! I added the boobs.)

Google is Nuts
Google has sent out a warning to all Blogspot users. They tell us that starting on June 30, they will crank up their jihad against adult content. Any blog that is "monetizing" adult content (whatever that means) is at risk of being deleted.
I have removed my links page and all links to my online store, but I don't think that will help. I think Google has a religiously-motivated hatred of adult content, and is using "monetizing" as an excuse to act on it.
I came to Blogspot in 2005 after being chased out of Yahoo Groups under identical circumstances. My blog was deleted by Google a year ago already, and I moved my store to Tumblr because of it.
And now, fucking Yahoo owns Tumblr. I, for one, do NOT believe Yahoo will leave Tumblr alone, but for now, Tumblr is where things are happening.
Google, you're chasing us away, and we won't be back. You are fools. You and the other internet giants think you can force the world to be one giant Sunday school, and you are wrong. Chik-Fil-A can't stop gay marriage, and YOU can't eradicate adulthood.

World War Z?
I went ahead and saw World War Z yesterday, and it was entertaining enough. The plot was the same as any plague-genre movie. I mean EXACTLY the same, scene-for-scene. The differences were in the details and the scale. Several things happened that I didn't expect, which alone is interesting. I haven't seen "zombies" animated in such huge numbers before, or with such unique collective movement.
The movie changed sharply half way through and became a different film. New plot, new cast, everything. It's like it was two episodes of a mini-series stapled together. The transition scene was entirely unbelievable, too.
It ends just as you would expect, with one guy having one brilliant idea, which could never really work, but which immediately results in a "cure" that is sent all over the world next day, in exactly the way medical discoveries never happen.
