On Serendipity and long weekends

  • Mood: Fine…
  • Music: Read main text…

Today I’ve been working on my next “9” cartoon which, amongst other things, pays tribute to the greatest band ever. While working I was listening to the radio, as I always do, and although I ‘ve been switching between different stations I kept hearing songs of that band! If that is not a definition of serendipity, I do not know what is… it almost touched on the bizarre, if not the supernatural!

Later I cooled down and realized two things:

first there’s such a thing as subjective perception, you know like a pregnant woman keeps seeing other pregnant women, or if you are an artist trying to strike an harmonious combination of a dark red with a dark green keeps seeing examples of it all around…

and second we are talking about the major band in history and not some obscure assemble…

Of course these rationalizations don’t take away of the magic, far from it, the whole thing enhanced the pleasure of my cartoon creation…

“Which is the band?” and “what is the cartoon about?” you ask? Well patience… you have to wait a few weeks… I can’t give the gag away!

 

On a different note, everybody, here in Greece, has gone away. We have a long weekend and on Monday we fly kites and eat non-meat delicacies. Even my aged mother will go on a day trip tomorrow! Everybody has gone away, except me! I do not know if it is the backlog of work that has to be delt with, or my lack of mobility after the stroke, or if these are just excuses and I am really a lazy, antisocial person who can’t be bothered. The truth, though, is that I do enjoy my work, most of the times, it has a relaxing/exhilarating effect on me! On the other hand being squeezed in an uncomfortable bus full belching, farting, smoking, swearing, opionated strangers and screaming kids to go to a place crowded with even more of the same people for the purpose of doing absolutely nothing is not my idea of fun, and very tiring to boot!

 

OK… bye my dears… have fun you who are going away… (don’t listen to me, live!)
