Cosi fan tutte
Survival of the speeches
Apocalypse now!
This ‘n’ that
I just felt like writing a bit on this lazy Sunday afternoon, before I get started on another batch of Happysad cartoons. So here goes.
So I went to Dublin last week. Interesting experience. Of course I visited the Old Jameson Distillery and learned a lot. Did you know there is such a thing as Jameson flavoured mustard? No kidding. Marmelade too. Hey guys, how about some whiskey flavoured sandwich spread? Breakfast cereals?
Speaking about Dublin, here’s a hilarious must-read about why my date with Sue had to be postponed (indefinitely?).
With Sue missing in action, I had to have dinner on my own on Sunday. Luckily I discovered there is a Wagamama in Dublin. I love Wagamama! You never feel alone there. Interesting moment too: there was this pretty girl sitting at the next row of tables. Well, “girl”… I should say woman, because she was about my age and I’m not getting any younger either. Anyway. Not having anything better to do, I glanced in her direction a few times. Maybe it was just wishful thinking but I had the impression she sometimes glanced back. I finished my yaki udon, paid the bill, got up and threw her one last look, just to make sure. She looked back. Somehow I managed not to shy away immediately, as I usually do. We were still making eye contact. She gave me this wonderful Mona Lisa smile. Then I left.
I will never see her again, but that was a real fascinating 0,2173 seconds long moment. Now I just have to learn to do that stuff when I’m not abroad. It was also too difficult to capture it in a Happysad cartoon, that why I’m telling it here.
In other news, if you have a Facebook account, you may be happy to know that someone started a group for Happysad cartoon fans. Thank you, Tom Hughes!
I like the new Miss Kittin album, Batbox.
And finally, I’m planning to buy a new computer this year. I’ve decided not to bother with the whole Vista mess that comes with a new pc, so I’m switching to Mac. Not right away though, I have to save up a bit more. Feel free to make your contribution to my new toy, using the Paypal donate button. It’s that yellow box in the upper right corner that’s all covered in dust and cobwebs.
Now back to work…
