Husbands and wives get equal Netflix privileges, and we watched my choice a couple days ago. Â This sketch was inspired by the formulaic basketball-themed romantic comedy we watched this evening. Â I know what you’re thinking: “Basketball rom-com! Â But that sounds so promising!”

I was struck by this amazing photo today, while looking through Ansel Adams’ incredible images from the Manzanar War Relocation Center. Â Having visited there a few years back, I was astounded at how bleak and desolate it was. Â I couldn’t imagine being required to live there. Â To me, that makes his collection all the more remarkable. Â As Adams apparently wrote when submitting his work to the Library of Congress:
“The purpose of my work was to show how these people, suffering under a great injustice, and loss of property, businesses and professions, had overcome the sense of defeat and dispair [sic] by building for themselves a vital community in an arid (but magnificent) environment…All in all, I think this Manzanar Collection is an important historical document, and I trust it can be put to good use.”
For more of Adams’ experience of Manzanar, check out his photos and writings.

Yes, I realize it’s pronounced “boat.” Â But these are size 13, so that’s not far off. Â Plus, I was using them to keep up above the water on this rainy day.

I’m often amused by art that for no apparent reason just takes a human form and transposes some unexpected object in place of the head.  So I thought I would stop by Flickr and let their random photo picker come up with the ingredients for just such a piece.  And thus was born the first member of the fearsome North Korean Baby Alpaca Regiment of Genetic Superwarriors.

A little doodle inspired by today’s visit to the legendary Roscoe’s House of Chicken N’ Waffles. Â A legendarily horrifying/delicious Southern California institution that never disappoints.

A little homage to my good pal “@thelonelypie,” who was our guest this evening.  Always a pleasure, sir.

So this was just based on a random photo I found on Flickr. Â Had a bit of trouble with the figure in this drawing. Â I kept erasing bits, modifying the proportions and so on, but it kept not working right. Â Eventually, I realized I had to erase her completely and start again from scratch. Â How appropriate, it then seemed, that she should be standing in front of an Edsel…

Went to the gym for about 45 mins today. So now I pretty much look like this.
And yes, I will be entertaining offers from any reputable sideshow organizers.

Went out for sushi at lunch. Did not make any friends in the piscine community.

On the Isle on Man, they are bred for one thing and one thing only: Â rock.
