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.

Did you know you can frame the Sydney Opera House with palm trees?

The hotel we’re staying in (with our dog Scully) has a dog minibar in the room.

Meanwhile my wife and I are taking a mini staycation in the city and doing sketching.

There is a room that's full of toys,
There are a hundred boys and girls.
Rhyming at all is not allowed,
Not in this cloud-borne castle.

Friend clued "mostly white" for "domino" in a word game.

Me: WTH? Dominoes are mostly black!
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.

Latest sketch. "Your Display Gallery", a tiny neighbourhood antique store, next to a hairdresser, a cafe, and... suburban homes. It opens on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Snopes does NOT say that The Odyssey is a myth.

Now I'm confused.

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.

One of my critical thinking/ethics students has released a song! Self-written, composed, and performed on guitar. Also available on Spotify, Apple Music, and iTunes.
“When it Dies” by jaqueline.
Has some James Bond theme tune vibes.

Just ran 7.5k in 42:12, my best time ever, by a good 19 seconds.

Who ever thought I'd be fitter at 50+ than I was in my 20s?

This imaginary blue-green colour is a clear case of cyan's fiction.

[Actually it's really fascinating, from a colour science and human visual system perspective.]

Painting is finally underway at my place! It's gonna be a mess for a week, but then fresh and new.

Now I know why this timeline feels wrong. According to Usborne Books' "World of the Future", published in 1979 and a childhood favourite reading source of mine, the 2020 Olympic Games were supposed to be held on the Moon.

House repainting is starting any minute now...

We've prepared as best we can.
