Annoyed that Aus retailers have "Black Friday" sales. "Black Friday" was one of the biggest natural disasters in Australian History.

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.

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.
