81 great songs from 1981 & more 🌜
Well, shiver me timbers! Â
Just checking in for a hot second to reassure you (and myself) that 2021 is gonna be the year we turn a corner and dance this mess around. Scientists have just discovered dwarf giraffes--something I bizarrely predicted in --so things are already looking up. Right?
A few quick notes before I have a Zoom with my dermatologist ...
I made you a playlist ...
The upside of chronic insomnia is that I'm really getting the most outta my Spotify subscription. Last night I finished a playlist of 81 favorite songs from 1981. And yes, you'll find multiple tracks from The Cure, The Go-Go's and Stevie Nicks here, 'cause I wouldn't have it any other way.
My 2021 diary is in comic form. Â
One of my New Year's resolutions is to draw a simple comic every day. (Honestly, it's like my meditation. Try it the next time you're Living On The Edge.)
You can read all of my diary comics via patreon.com/whitneymatheson for as little as 2 bucks a month. Thanks for your support!
We are Nightwork. Â
Some of you have seen the "Holiday Squares" game nights and video chats I've posted with cartoonist and writer Dean Haspiel. Nightwork Studio is our new venture that will include more events and creative collaborations in 2021.
Follow Nightwork on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube to keep up. Below is an image from a recent video in which we answer, "What do you wish you would've done *before* the pandemic started?" (AÂ portion of this conversation also appears in Gil Roth's excellent VIRTUAL MEMORIES podcast.)
Go ahead, wear that shirt again today. Â
Be kind to yourself this week, and eat at least one baked ziti. Reach me anytime at whitmath@gmail.com or by whispering the name of your favorite Hanna-Barbera character into the evening wind.
On the run in '21,
Otho, Your Live-In Interior Designer
