Keeping Busy

Like any normal college student, I should be partying or taking road trips, but instead I've been kind of working. I mean kind of in the sense that I don't work a complete full time job (with the exception of the full time job that I DO work).

So, what have I been doing?
Updating the SLCC Globe website.
That's not all though, I've also been working on my own portfolio site as well.
Aldo's Writing Space makes its glorious return to the interwebs.
More or less of a strict review and such website, it acts as a portfolio with my rough drafts in it for presentation.
There you will find my more serious articles and if they are for something, then you can find the link to where they are oficially posted at.
My first post or item was actually my review of the Utah Fighting Game Convention known as Salt Fest. The post also has a link to Big Shiny Robot, the site I wrote it for.

Anyways, that's all I wanted to say as I updated.

Iron Man 3 reactions

Since this is my personal blog, I don't really want to do any reviews here, instead I'm going to do reactions or whatever else I want to call them...

Anyways... I saw Iron Man 3 last week and loved it. What did I think? Here you go:

  • I actually loved this interpretation of the Mandarin. If they want to do more with it, the names been established as a terrorist, all you need is someone to take the mantle.
  • Tony Stark having PTSD felt natural to the story and the character, and it made the movie that much better.
  • I liked this version of Extremis.
  • Seriously, how do you stand out when you're in a movie with RDJ? I don't know, but Paltrow and Cheadle did a marvelous job.
  • I hope I wasn't the only one trying to figure out which suits came from which story arcs in the comics... cause that's what I spent doing almost the last 30 minutes of the movie.
  • Stark ditching kids in the middle of a street during winter? Yes please.
That's pretty much what I though. I loved it very much.
If this is the quality of Marvel's Phase 2, I am all for it.


Export - Delete - Import

Today I deleted my previous blog portfolio thing. It was called Aldo Writing Space. I posted reviews and ... that was pretty much it. Over a year or so I only posted 16 articles on it. Seeing that I barely post on this one, it was no surprise that it would be neglected.

Because of that I exported the blog, imported it to this and deleted AWS.

I will be working on a new blog to use as an actual portfolio, though I'm not sure if I want to stick with Blogger or go to Weebly or WordPress. Let me know what you think.

Anyways, I'm not terribly sad that I deleted the old blog since I never did anything on it, but I am proud of the fact that one article actually had over 600 views. Though I suspect that it's because of the images or whatever...
Here's the page on this blog. LINK
