I have decided to keep a journal.
Nothing happened today, so this seems a good place to start.

Work on the comic continues rather uneventfully. Reader response has picked up a bit since I started.

I mailed an old box of origami to a random name out of the phone book because I couldn't think of anything else to do with it.
Later today it started raining.

My cousin Gregory called, he says he plans to visit some time in May. I don't really mind visiting him, but whenever he comes here he expects us to treat him like royalty.
Perhaps I can change his mind by claiming I bought a dog, as he has bad allergies to them.

In the absence of anything worth writing down happening to me, I have drawn a small picture of a shark. However, I decline to put it in the journal.

I have now removed the leaf-blower comic from the archives entirely, for fairly obvious reasons.

Nothing appreciably momentous happened today. More déjà vu then usual.
It rained again.

While at a restaurant yesterday, I saw a man with a very tall stovepipe hat which gave me an idea for a new Temporalectopia character. For some reason it did not occur to me to write this down until just now.

Purchased Snake'N'Bacon's Cartoon Cabaret, a very funny comic by Michael Kupperman. Featuring such classic lines as
"Look, Cartwell, your building is simply TOO TALL! I predict that on the earth's next rotation, we are going to bump into the moon!"
And
"No, I ain't seen no other escaped convicts round here, just other hillbillies like myself."
"Yes, I'm a hillbilly as well."

Someone has spraypainted a smily face on the large rock outside my house. Not really sure what to think of it.
