I might have returned to reading the DC Universe titles for this. Maybe. It's an intriguing set-up, and a definite return to a saga of generations for the DCU line of comics series.

Nov. 1st, 2020 06:48 amSo on November 1st, we've "fallen back" re: our clocks in Ontario. I find I am less thrilled with this twice-a-year ritual as the years go by. I woke up at what felt like the usual time to find it was "earlier" than my body and the CPAP machine were willing to admit to.
Two more days, and we'll make some further progress at discovering what kind of future most Americans want for themselves and their country as a whole. And we'll find out what the Mar-A-Lago Malefactor is willing to do to inflict a future he prefers over the objections of the rest of the United States as well, I suppose. We already knew that he considers Mafia dons and dictators to be his role models, just the way his father raised him.
Some of you remarked about my choice of showing you the influential cameras of my life. This was a consequence of my culling project. I have to downsize somewhat because of the changes I currently expect in my housing situation in the weeks, months, maybe years to come. And so, there are attacks of nostalgia my brain is suffering.
Meanwhile, a time of Pandemic does look like the worst possible time to downsize, doesn't it?
At least I seem to be finding time to sketch and write again, despite everything else going on.
Yes, I'm still looking for work. Job alerts subscribed via the federal Job Bank, Workopolis, Jobilico, Indeed, Carleton U, CHEO, several other federal agencies and private firms...
More later.

URBAN LIFE: Things You Suspect...
May. 25th, 2020 04:47 pmHouses that used to be storefronts. There's ways to look for them, depending on the history of your neighbourhood. Dylan Reid discusses some of them - applicable in Ottawa and Gatineau as in Toronto - over at the Spacing Toronto blog:

Sprung Forward
Mar. 8th, 2020 09:27 amMost of the household clocks have been adjusted as I type this. Listening to The Sunday Edition as I type this, and it's focused for the first hour on the mess that Narendra Modi has made of India's governance and society since becoming its prime minister. Particularly his focus on ensuring the ongoing persecution of India's Muslim citizens.
August is here
Aug. 1st, 2019 02:27 pmOr so the calendars Gregorian all tell me now.
I went to Comic Jam at the Shanghai Restaurant in Ottawa's Chinatown last night. I got some good food, decent amount of practice time with pencil and paper again, and got caught up with some friends.
Checking job boards again today, of course.

MARVEL/COMICS: Danielle Cage-Jones
Jul. 10th, 2019 03:41 pmOkay. She was born effective The Pulse # 13. (I miss that series, by the by.) Published 2006.
And just celebrated her second birthday in Jessica Jones: Blind Spot, print-published 2018. (Which I just got to read in hardcopy thanks to the Ottawa Public Library last night. So, e-mail to Perfect Books is now in order...)
Make a note, freelance writers!

Belated Greetings to August 2017
Aug. 2nd, 2017 05:40 amI am somewhat slow off the mark in greeting the new calendar month, yes. Being so busy with the day-to-day and the creeping sense of an ongoing Quiet War Against Democracy As A Concept as we've now finally been seeing it in recent years and months...
Anyways, we're here in August 2017 Gregorian Calendar now...

Weird Star Wars Timekeeping Question
Feb. 12th, 2016 11:34 amThe books we read all use a calendar system that puts events in the timeline on either side of the Battle of Yavin from A New Hope. I am becoming increasing convinced that the characters themselves are not using any such calendar-dating convention within the events of their lives.
What are some workable alternatives?

A recent blog entry by David Brin drew my attention to this graph:

I had an opportunity, thanks to the local library, to lay hands on the above-named epistle, nearly fifteen years after first publication. The first new Saint story in over a decade, assuming we count the adaptation of a movie script that, after the same author got done his novelizing job, was almost thoroughly eviscerated of any references to the novels and short stories that inspired it by the time it reached the movie theatres. I think perhaps one Biblical quote that tied into The Last Hero managed to survive the filming, but I digress.
