Hogarth.



It's natural to love the movie The Iron Giant.


I like to iron. Ah yes, I can hear the woman jokes from here, but it's true. I actualy like to iron. There is something calming about smoothing away the impurites from a favorite shirt. It's like this neat metaphor for life. Wouldn't it be nice if we could just plug in an iron, wait till it's hot, then procede to smooth out all of the wrinkles and bumps in our own lives? I wish I had iron-like advice, that once heard could change the look of things, make things appear smoother and less worn.   But alas, I am not a small appliance capable of solving problems, as much as I would like to be.


That reminds me, wasn't The Iron Giant such a great movie?


I mean, the main character's name is Hogarth.  It's obviously a winner.


*authors note
I am aware that The Iron Giant has nothing to do with ironing....just so we're clear.
