Memory is a funny thing, ain’t it? I misremembered the lyrics of this song as “Sunday morning…”, but it’s Monday Morning. Here it is anyways.
Anyways, Happy Spring!
Good night.
Today was a better day than yesterday. Very upset stomach all day yesterday, for no real apparent reason. Bleah
So today went and got groceries, and mixed up some potting soil for the garden.
This afternoon was studio time. The page I’m working on was giving me a hard time. Too much dialog and too many panels. I thought about slitting it into a page and a half, and starting the next scene on the second half of the second page. I didn’t really like that idea. I cut dialog quite a bit, and rearranged panels, and now I think it’ll work. It’s all about story beats and page turns.
If X can release a new album after 35 years, I guess I can do a new blog post about it. It’s pretty good. I especially liked Angel On The Road. Listen to and get it at Bandcamp (click on the player below).

What’s uncanny about this, to me, is how much it echoes a model of distributed action imagined a few years ago by Adam Roberts in a novel called New Model Army — a novel I wrote about here. Roberts imagines a near-future world in which New Model Armies (NMAs) — collectivized and non-hierarchical organizations of mercenaries — have become major players on the European political scene. The novel’s protagonist associates himself with one of those NMAs, called Pantagral.

Drawing design inspiration from the skin of stealthy sea creatures, engineers at the University of California, Irvine have developed a next-generation, adaptive space blanket that gives users the ability to control their temperature. The innovation is detailed in a study published today in Nature Communications.
Summary:
Consuming a daily modest amount of high-fructose corn syrup — the equivalent of people drinking about 12 ounces of a sugar-sweetened beverage daily — accelerates the growth of intestinal tumors in mouse models of the disease, independently of obesity, according to new research.
