Just got home from volunteer orientation day at the GCTC. And may I say, it was SO COOL!! Seein’ backstage? The prop room, and control booths and shit? Fucking SWEET! And everyone is pretty fantastic there, no word of a lie. I’m stoked for my first shift, whenever that is, and for the dress of [...]
Jamaica Farewell
Had a pleasant nite in yester…downed a few cold beers, wrote for the blog and watched old episodes of SAPPHIRE AND STEEL. And okay, my blog readership is down like the second season ratings for TWIN PEAKS, I suppose because of my away time recently, but whatevah. I’m in my groove right now and having [...]
I did it (and I’d do it again)
Been a busy few days, and getting busier…as mentioned, the other day I headed out west(boro) to sign up for an entry level acting course at the OSSD, as I’ve been threatening to ever since I first caught the theatre bug three Fringes ago. Hit the second Crosstown Traffic while I was in the neighbourhood…chatted with [...]
Flings: a Summer Roundup, part 2
NOW I’ve done it. Hoo boy. I didn’t think I really would…but I suppose a planetary-size shakeup in one’s personal life can make you do crazy things. Sort of crazy. We’ll get into that later. First things second. As in, second part of this awkwardly themed ‘Summer’ roundup of mine, which is mostly a feeble [...]
‘Works: a Summer Roundup, part 1
Okay, so that was a bit of downtime I took there. Apologies, I was a little busy finding out that I’m the worst person in the God-damned world. Suck it, Cheney. So now that the maelstrom of life-shit I dropped myself in is, if not behind me,at least past its destructive apex (fingers crossed), where do I go from here? Yeah, [...]
-Interlude-
So I was supposed to do a post-SUMMERWORKS wrap-up post, once I got back to Ottawa…you know, a reflective look back kinda thing, maybe a top-5 list or something along those lines. And then,since getting back, I’ve also seen SWIMMING IN THE SHALLOWS by the gang at Arts Court, and should probably have posted a review of [...]
SUMMERWORKS – Day SEVEN
So, as I write this, I have worked my last Summer, my theatrical road trip coming to a close. It was a good time and ended on a high, but I’m still annoyed that it ended. With just a few more days, I couldá seen EVERYthing. But, them’s the breaks, eh? At least I had [...]
SUMMERWORKS – Day SIX
Getting close…after this I’ll only have one final night of shows to post about before it’s time for the long, grim ride back to Ottawa, and work. So let’s enjoy this baby while we can! As for yesterday, that meant a breakfast at Mars, lunch at Sneaky Dee’s, a few books from She Said Boom!, [...]
SUMMERWORKS – Day FIVE
Today started with a little much needed R&R (or ‘rander’, to put it in Haunted Hillbilly terms), with a trip back out to Markham and Bloor. Successfullly stalked the hard-to-find Green Room, where I had a delicious and cheap b-fast on a goddam lovely patio. I’d love to go back there with some folks and [...]
SUMMERWORKS – Day FOUR
Sunday was a great day, a GREAT day! How great? Ýou know how it started off? I ALMOST talked to Emily Pearlman!! Exciting, right? You know it is. I mean, we didn’t REALLY talk, but just about..! I knew it was going to be a special day, yessiree. In fact, the reason i had this [...]
