Annoyed that Aus retailers have "Black Friday" sales. "Black Friday" was one of the biggest natural disasters in Australian History.
It's as if US retailers decided to import a foreign tradition called the "Hurricane Katrina Sales" into the US.

Friend: Good dominoes, MOST dominoes, are white. Only cheap wooden ones are black.
Me: I grew up with black dominoes. I've never seen white... ooohhhhhh....

Someone replied to an email I wrote in 2017:
> Agh, sorry, I thought I'd sent a reply to this sooner!
They address the question I asked in my email, that I no longer care about.
Wife says I should wait until 2034 and then reply:
> Thanks, but that's okay. I don't need that info any more.

I started watching the new Frankenstein by Guillermo del Toro on Netflix last night. Victor Frankenstein is payed by Oscar Isaac (Poe in Star Wars), so I kept imagining him being played by Jim from Darths & Droids...
And now I want to do a comic version with exactly that.
