Dear Journal, Today I fought a giant centipede for control of a garden. Centipede is pretty much what you would call a classic.

Who would have ever guessed that Antonio Banderaz would be getting acting parts for his voice talent? What may have seemed like a sidekick character at first in the Shrek Series, mostly cause it was, the Puss in Boots character blew up in popularity.
