I wrote and animated a mashup of 70s film, Greek & Roman mythology and 60s TV hillbillies. It's not for everybody. It could use some more work.
It succeeds at what I was trying to do.

Saw Stoppard's The Real Thing at the Novello Theatre in '84. I remember watching it from the balcony but nothing else. It was over my head at the time. I was more excited about seeing Judy Geeson in a main role as she had recently been in my fav show Poldark. Wish I could travel back and see it now.

Despite my complaints about Traitors, I watched the entire series of Celebrity Traitors UK, because celebrities. And they were celebrities I'd actually heard of and found interesting, not the kind that get called celebrity in U.S. reality shows.

Also, brothers Stig and Jörgen Gavlén of Gävle, Sweden were instrumental in the creation of the first Yule Goat. I bet they were kind of a big deal in a town that bore their name.

Everything is awful but the Gävlebocken is back with us. All luck to the giant Swedish goat! I just want to remind you all that the goat survived the Yule season in 2019, 2020, 2022, and 2024. Make your own assumptions.
