reboot
ah, i’ve been living high and large over the past few months and too distracted by the many new adventures to attend to my blog. deepest apologies to my audience of 3. 
two weeks ago i struggled to read an epic reboot of the D.C. Comics universe. i dropped it after a chapter, then listened to The Doctrine explain why, in the history of epic reboots, the D.C. version utterly failed.
so one moment i cared only for the X-Men’s slick art work and the cinematic production’s brilliant decision to cast Hugh Jackman. the next moment i assimilated everything there was to know about X-Men to date, why the writer of Buffy the Vampire Slayer did so well with the epic series, how the parallel universes co-existed and collided, why The Doctrine kept his spiffy comic books individually wrapped in their original covers and sealed in a special box. this is not a lesson in comic books and graphic novels. it is called Marriage.
anyway, i decided to do a reboot of my own. God knows i’ve been doing that over the past few months. in the second quarter of 2009, The Doctrine and I succeeded in taking a week-long vacation, mostly in breathtaking Bohol (more on that later). i tried yoga. i picked up my badminton racquet again. i rediscovered our village park in new running shoes. i’ve been reading more and more books outside my comfort zone (does the D.C. book count??).
so yes, i’m back. see you around.
