I haven’t written here in a few weeks – I was working on the next Weeknotes (Weeknotes 29 – for reference, we’re now in Week 33), and I wanted to post an update here for anyone who hasn’t seen it on BlueSky (so, a whole lot of you, most likely).

Weeknotes / 2024 / Week 28: Woo-Woo
This one’s coming to you closer to the weekend, if not quite within it. I count that a victory.

Weeknotes / 2024 / Week 27: Second Half of the Year
This is coming later than I’d like, but I was pretty slammed with work Monday and Tuesday. Usually, Monday is my busy day. I strictly avoid working on the weekend, and avoid looking at work emails too, so Monday is when I respond to everyone’s weekend emails. Plus Monday is file delivery day for most comics publishers, which means last-minute revisions and pre-flight checks.

Weeknotes / 2024 / Week 26 Part 2: Watching and Reading
This is a couple of days later than I’d like, but I was under the weather again this week.
Anyway …

Weeknotes / 2024 / Week 26 Part 1: Updates
As mentioned, there was no newsletter last week, since I was in Goa with some friends, and as much as I love you folks on the Internet, I had no desire to hole up in the Airbnb and type while my friends were out having fun.

Weeknotes / 2024 / Week 24: The Mystery Gods
After the eventful weather of last week, it’s been pleasant to have a week with not much incident. I had to stay home last weekend because of the weather, so I wrapped up my work for the week on Wednesday to spend time with K.

Weeknotes / 2024 / Week 23: Strive to Fail
It’s been an interesting week here in India. For one, Pune has been bombarded by torrential rains all of last week, which is usual after a cyclone hits the east coast of India, as Remal did at the end of May.
Things came to a head on Saturday, when Pune had the worst rainfall it’s seen in June since 1991. Several parts of Pune were flooded, a friend was stuck in traffic for four hours getting home, my parents’ house flooded (only a bit, thankfully), and a video went viral of a man floating down a busy road on a foam mattress.

Weeknotes / 2024 / Week 22: Things and Places
It’s been a nice week at Casa Bidikar.
I’ve finally started working out regularly again. I’d been waiting for my various chronic pains to recede enough, and I’d got myself a gym membership at the beginning of the month, but it took a while to find the bandwidth and motivation to start going regularly. My aim is to hit two functional training days and two cardio days per week minimum, and anything above that is gravy.

Status 2024-05-28
STATUS / A late start to the day – I overslept, partly because I’d been running on less-than-normal sleep for a few days. I also started working out properly again yesterday, since my back is doing well.
ON THE DESK / Yesterday was scattered – all revisions and deliveries. Today I’m working on The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos #12 and the back half of Robin #4.

Weeknotes / 2024 / Week 21: Good Weather
After a very hot first half of the month, May has settled into surprisingly pleasant weather here in Pune – I don’t know if I can fully trust this weather, since our “summer” has had two weeks of daily rain. We might be about to have a strange mixed monsoon/late summer that we’ll encounter in a few weeks. Climate change!
