A few notes

Listening to the discussion on The Sunday Edition as noted in "Music" over how the recession/depression/market instability - I've heard it called all of these things - and how's it's affecting women as opposed to men. To be blunt, we haven't been looking at the whole picture of the country and everyone in it. I strongly suggest you check out the podcast while it's still available from CBC.

Starting to learn-by-doing with Photoshop this morning as well. Specifically, trying to piece together the latest page of Local Hero I've finished pencils for. It's already done in Corel PhotoPaint - which is a simple enough system to learn by trial and error, thankfully - but I am going to have to Read The Frakkin' Manual for Photoshop! :-D

Something I'd like to lay hands on sooner or later? These two collections of Saint short stories by Leslie Charteris. I've got a few of them already, thanks to other collections. It would be nice, however, to get these.

More later, here and possibly at publicbroadcasting.ca's house blog on the Ottawa subway proposal...

As in Brandon...

...it seems, so too in Hamilton.

Casting the SHIELD Movie

So...open debate for anyone interested. Since Samuel L. Jackson's confirmed as playing Nick Fury for nine movies, barring a box office disaster or three, and one of those films is going to be a SHIELD movie, we've got two questions to have fun with:

1. Which of the legions of SHIELD characters will they use from Marvel's archives for this film, aside from Nick himself?

2. Who will be playing those characters?

I don't have anywhere near the knowledge about actors available for work that I do about the SHIELD characters themselves, so I'm loathe to make any guesses myself...
