Myths and Legends Podcast

It was another long day at work. I heard The Myths and Legends Podcast which consisted of five very short stories about a trickster Turtle from east African folklore, one of the stories was a very amusing one about how you can build a house very cheaply if you borrow money from your friends and then trick them into eating each other, and it discussed a strange creature from Japanese folklore that will steal your eggplants, kill your horses and if you look at them you turn purple and die.

I walked home, and after I had some food I started a new comic.

Myths and Legends

Last night I did some reading (currently End of Watch by Stephen King, which is really good so far).

It was fairly quiet at work today, it always is at this time of year with a lot of people being away on vacation or training and so on. I listened to an episode of The Myths and Legends Podcast which was about the creation myth in Norse Mythology, an amusing story about Thor and Loki being challenged by giants to an eating and drinking contest, and having to wrestle an old lady and lift a cat. I also listened to an episode of Make It Then Tell Everybody interviewing cartoonist Erika Moen. I managed to get away quite sharp today as well, which made a change.

Myths and Wind-Up Birds

It was a pretty quiet evening last night. I was reading the new Stephen King novel,End of Watch, and a couple of episodes of the comedy show Peep Show, which I really like, even though I don't normally find it hilariously funny.

I was pretty busy at work. I listened to The Myths and Legends Podcast which was doing the story of Hong Gildong, basically a Korean Robin Hood, about the illegitimate child of an aristocrat who takes revenge by robbing wealthy, corrupt aristocrats and giving the money to the poor. Except he also has magical powers and fights demons. I also heard an episode of RadioLab about a man who basically tried to record every detail of his life on tape, basically wearing a wire everywhere he went. I've been listening to the audio book of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, which I got as the free download when I signed up with Audible. It's very long, but it is really good.

I did a long day at work, so I paused on my way home and got a take out steak pie and French fries.

At the moment I'm listening to the Talking Comics podcast, which is probably the best and certainly most comprehensive comic book podcast.
