I dunno what it's like for you good folks up in the northern hemisphere, but down here in the southern hemisphere I'm of the opinion that this whole Bluey thing is getting way out of hand.

What I especially love about drawing is spending an hour penciling something, and thinking "OK, that looks pretty good, I'll ink it now", and then inking it, and then erasing the pencils, and it's all like "haha no this drawing sucks now".

This week I've been in the process of buying a car. This morning was the business end of it all. 3 hours of reading contracts and sending documents back and forth and finalising pre-purchase inspection fixes and sorting out insurance and all that admin stuff which I rather dislike. Cool car though.

I am rather partial to a good creature feature, and The End of Oak Street fits that bill well. Decent amount of dino-related business. A focus on the character dynamics means the principals in this thing aren't just one dimensional monster fodder. I've a few quibbles, but overall pretty well done.

Making a drink called "girl failure" where, after eating a whole jar of apple sauce, you pour your soda into the jar, say "huh, looks like piss" and then you shake the jar and it fizzes and gets all over your hands

Sun is out after many days of rain, I'm quite keen to go for a stroll down by the riverside, but I'm currently having too much fun working on the drawing I'm working on, so I'm torn. Drawing has to come first.
