Go ahead, laugh, you sarcastic person you. Today, Gaby gave me my very first yoga lesson. My lower back feels a little dodgy right now, but I suppose that’s the way it should be. We went through several movements including what I think is called the Shlackmyriamani Doodly Flip (or something similar, you know the “Greeting of the Morning Sun”). Surprisingly, these exercises made me feel better. It turns out that the big point of stresss is my lower back. Amazing how doing a couple of yoga positions makes you accutely aware of degenerating muscles. In fact I was so enthousiastic, we ended up ordering a 3 set DVD by the elusive Wai Lana — a sorta 21st century Jane Fonda sort of a woman. Wai seems to dwell around Hawaï and, inbetween participating in Chinese Circus venues, shows you how you’re supposed to, you know, yoga your way through the day. The DVD’s cost $44,95 so the result damn well better be good (feels his lower back muscles cringe).

You know those water hose reels? One got thrown over the wall into our garden yesterday. Thump, like that. Gabriela picks up the thing, and goes ring on the neighbour‘s doorbell. The daughter opens.
– Is this yours per chance?
– Uhh, … dad?
Dad comes to the doorway.
– Is this yours per chance?
– Uhh… ah yes. It’s uhh the wifey’s… she-uhh she… had no more need for it.
He grabs the reel from Gabriela’s hands, mumbles “Thank you,” and closes the door.
I swear these people are smoking some serious shit.

It’s “Bring Some Color To Moonbug” Day apparently. Here’s an oldie that came out rather nice, playing on the desert island cartoon-theme. It’s the first of a four panel cartoon for an invitation but I won’t bore you with the punchline. Coloring was done in Photoshop by setting the brush tool to “Darken”, then adding color on the same layer as the black line — hit or miss, that is. If I’d have known then that there’s such a thing as setting the line-layer to “Multiply”, then doing your coloring safely on another layer underneath, I’d have saved myself a lot of headaches…
