Guess whose cadaver has been potentially donated toward research and educational purposes?
Hint: It’s mine. Mine has.

Let me lay your mind to rest.
A moment of silence for Spaghetti Joe, the mature female mountain huntsman spider who took up residence in my home toward the beginning of autumn this year.

Sadly, Spaghetti Joe passed away peacefully under the upstairs futon last week.
It’s funny how freedom can make us feel contained.
Last month’s MAD Fashion Showcase went well!

Hit the runway in a jacket by Von Chibi paired with jaunty hat by Cherry Pie and a 3-tiered jabot I’d whipped up in the week before the show.

Despite a fevered ability to take thousands upon thousands of photographs of invertebrates and interesting looking rocks, I’d left the camera at home that day, so only snapped a handful of vaguely unfocused selfies with the phone.
If you are interested in photographs (maybe also videos) from the runway, then please hit up the Facebook pages of Von Chibi Designs and Cherry Pie Millinery (whose works I was sporting) or that of Melbourne Alternative Designers to get a look at some of the many talented craftspeople this city has to offer!
Should you be interested in gratuitous closeup photographs of huntsman spiders then feel free to scroll on down and acquaint yourself with images of my energetic sparassidaughter, Spaghetti Joe:
Nobody suspects pants.
Please go binge-watch this good free thing on the YouTube called Trying My Best by local comedy troupe Birthday Loyalty Club which I am shamelessly promoting because my incredibly handsome and talented co-pilot Sian (MaEmon) is involved:
Thank you that is all.

Hope to see you there!
Words are unnecessary.
Important news!
Across the ages we have reigned as we endured.
All blog entries have been updated, so links and images should be back in proper functioning order. Please let me know if you encounter any issues.
Other recent updates include removal of delayed image loading from both the blog and comic as it was being temperamental. Image loading times just weren’t enough of an issue to warrant arguing with it.
You can’t be free because I’m selfish, I’m obscene.
Happy Valentine’s day!
The hazed out sun won’t help anyway.
Happy (slightly belated) New year.
Weirdly, upon arrival home on January 1st 2017 everything was still more or less the same as it had been prior to leaving on December 31st 2016. Aside from the cat vomit on the carpet that is, pretty sure that wasn’t there when we’d left. Not that I’m any stranger to cleaning cat vomit out of the carpet at 2am of course. That’s just something you gotta deal with when keeping felines inside your home, regardless of what time of the year it is. So…
Why did this seem like a good opening tangent?
With all the changes you’ve been through, it seems the stranger’s always you.
So, uh… Somebody paid for my brunch on Sunday and I have no idea who it was? Was it somebody I know? Or who knows Tech Support (since you paid his too)? Presumably if you’re an acquaintance you’d have said “hi” so maybe it was just one of those Random Acts Of Kindness people sometimes do? Then again, it was 11am on a Sunday and I’m not saying that my sleeping habits are Entirely Fucked™ but even on a good day I tend not to recognise people out of context so maybe you did try to say hi?
If so: I am very sorry for ignoring you.
In any case, I am still very confused, nonetheless, thank you.
Of course, being very confused is my natural state of existence, so.
