It's finally summer; time to put fans in windows. It's also time to venture into the basement room of boxes (of doom). Seriously, that room's probably a fire-hazard. Or an Indiana Jones trap or something. I shut the door as soon as I grabbed the fan, and booked it back up the stairs.

(Drawn in like 20 minutes ... blargb ... I need to get back into drawing things from life — I haven't been looking for that make me go "that would make a great comic," and I need to start doing that again).

To-day was super hot, though. Hoopfest (the world's largest 3-on-3 basketball tourney) was going on downtown this weekend, and it was packed. The festivities bring something in the neighbourhood of $25 million into the city. We also need to get the A/C recharged in the family car, as it provided no relief from the heat whatsoever.


Also, saw Wall•E today. It's a story told almost entirely without words, and so uses the inherently visual medium of film to tell a story almost perfectly. I need to watch it several more times (preferably on DVD so I can pause it) to catch all the nuances of the signs and graphic design — especially in the first few minutes. You are doing yourself a disservice if you don't see this wonderful masterpiece of a movie.
