In my New Year’s Resolution (NYsR©) to podcast more frequently, I require more content. This is good for you the listener/readers. Thank you.
For this episode, I made two A6 blank notebooks which you can use for sketching or doodling during Zoom meetings or, and more importantly, taking notes during real face-to-face meetings with other real flesh-and-blood humans.
The first notebook is 112 pages in 7 signatures. It also has page numbers for ease of referencing and finding your masterpieces. The name of this book is Sketchbook in both Japanese – スケッチブック–, and Spanish – Cuaderno de Dibujo. And has a stylish yellow vertical sash. This indicates both the front cover and the fore edge.
The other one is 128 pages in 8 signatures. It is completely blank, no page numbers or bookmarks to differentiate pages. But it sports three titles: Japanese – スケッチブック–, Spanish – Cuaderno de Dibujo –, and English – Sketchbook. It also displays a chiyogami sash near the fore edge to give the artist/writer/user a front cover design.

Molly Bright continues. Last podcast I told you about Sawako being related to water in all its forms including waterboarding and stale, scummy rain water in the corner of her cell where she’s being held captive. Today, you’ll learn about Molly herself.
She’s a businesswoman out of Phoenix, Arizona. She’s a buyer of home decoration furnishings. She is often worried about money: prices, costs, profits, and has no qualms about ripping off creators to make a bigger profit for her company. She assumes by making money for the company that the company will be loyal to her; this is a mistake she learns in the course of Molly Bright.
Substack
Chapter 14 of Heart of November (changed to Heart of September) is up and waiting for you to read it. Amelia meets her rapist. Violence ensues.
A new series called Diary of a Dead Cat Quarterly is on its first issue. The first issue is about Soup. What is the relationship between a children’s game-show host and David Bowie? And what is the relationship between the children’s host and soup? What is the origin of Soup? All these questions are answered in
Diary of a Dead Cat Quarterly: Soup
The next issue will be on Tarzan and Electric Cars. Only on Substack.
