Today started off oddly productive…laundry. I think there were still a few Fringe-tainted garments in that pile, so it was definitely in need of doing. I need SOMEthing to wear to Toronto next week, after all. After that drudgery, I eventually headed out to the Elmdale Tavern for some Aqua Vitae and some writing, even [...]
To the 4th Stage with thee, noble kinsmen
I continue catsitting while the Jammy’s away, experimenting with sunburns. We’re keeping busy…Aleister the Cat has discovered a few cupboard doors he can open,and that seems to please him. And me, I had a spot of excitement the other day…I clicked on the Face-Book, and who had sent me…ME…a friend request, but Gemma Freaking Wilcox! [...]
..but I’ve never even BEEN to Calgary!
I came home from work today, the first day of my catsitting period while my Jammy is off at her lake. She has a lake, or something like that. She’s there, anyhow, and her cat is not,hence I have the cat at my home. Today was the first day of this transplantation du kitty, so [...]
Foolish Dreams
I almost didn’t go out tonight. SO close to just giving in to a case of grumpiness, sitting at home, watching my brand-new box set of SUPER ROBOT RED BARON… …but somehow, I managed to rouse myself from this obviously wicked cool temptation and bike my lazy ass out to…where was it? Right, Clare Gardens Park, [...]
Summer Crushin’, had me a blast
So as I’ve stated before here, I am not really ‘improv guy’. Never gotten the appeal, don’t dig that ‘whose line it is’ show, and just generally would rather avoid the whole shebang and see something with, say, a script. And since this all clearly represents a flaw in my personality (one of many), I [...]
Watchin’ movies, writin’ stuff
Not really sure what to do with this beast in between shows , but I hate neglecting it. I gets lonely. There’s good old vicariousness…I’ve been stoked to see the good reviews from Winnipeg on some of my fav’rit shows, like Pitch Blond, 7 (x1) Samurai, and Countries Shaped Like Stars. From my side, I [...]
Flingin’ with Rita
It was a nice day off yesterday, and I even had plans of stuff to fill my time with! I’m starting to get like that, all plan-y and getting shit together. My trip to Toronto for SUMMERWORKS is set to go this August…train tickets and room have been taken care of, and soon I’ll have [...]
Breaking Down the Windsor Fringe
As we enter the third sphere on the Visitorian calendar, I have to ask myself…why am I updating so much?? Okay, I’m glad I’m writing, but there are other things I should probably be writing MORE (I haven’t forgotten about you, Becky Sue..!). Oh well. At least this keep me from watching too much teevee, or [...]
Socks…ON.
Ha! It finally happened tonite, my first post-Fringe bit of theatre! Sure, I had a bit of a false start on Wednesday, when the GCTC box office Heismanned me when I tried to get into the preview show (sold out, just like last night’s show…and tonight’s…), but this time I slipped though. And I’m so stoked [...]
Shain, Winnipeg or Bust
So I hit the road today despite the moiderous heat (and yes, yes, I know what our man Switters said, that there’s nothing more useless than complaining about the weather. But when said weather comes with a health advisory, I feel somewhat justified) to catch me some much-needed theatre. My post-Fringe ennui is setting in hard, and I [...]
