Space Boy on Webtoon

I’ve been reading space boy for about a month or so now and only have about 50 more episodes until I catch up. It’s honestly one of the most emotionally stimulating pieces of artistic media I’ve seen in a while. This comic makes you FEEL, but also has an incredible plot to unfold. The art is wonderfully stylized and the artist constantly interacts with fans. This thing is amazing.

First Views of Florence

I had just a whirlwind trip from Orlando to Chicago to Zurich to Florence. Everything went as planned, but it was still quite a task. I was surprised by how much nicer the transatlantic plane/flight/atmosphere was as compared to flights within the U.S.

I'm not thinking clearly — I only got four hours of sleep Saturday in preparation for sleeping on the long plane ride. Then I only slept one hour on the plane. Even though it was nice, it was a hard seat to sit in for 8.5 hours after a morning of sitting on hard seats.

So since I can't think, here are some pictures. I'll post them all on Picasa but I'll put my favorites here:

From the plane ride over the Swiss Alps! Beautiful stuff.

Somewhere closer to Florence, but not quite there, I don't think.

The plane that carried me on the last of three total flights.

A view from my bedroom window.

The Arno (someone was kayaking in it shortly after this).

A nearby piazza (have yet to start learning all their names).
