So today is officially the day after the Winnipeg Fringe Festival.
Therefore it’s also officially the first time I haven’t attended the festival at all in over ten years, probably fifteen. It’s hard to describe how sad I am about that.
To some people the festival is a fun period of time where they go out to [...]

The other day I was at the drugstore trying to choose a birthday card for my team to give to our boss when I noticed a familiar face peeking out from the kids birthday section. The shining silver mouth, the oddly expressive eyes and the almost batman like points of his head were all [...]

An uncertain neon oasis…

We are in the middle of a global economic recession. Though I certainly wasn’t in any doubt about it before, I had it systematically reinforced during my recent visit to Las Vegas. Things are bad in Sin City… and getting worse.

In 1994 I was a geeky 10th grader making his way through high school and trying to decide what to do with his life. I was on the verge of making some serious mistakes regarding romantic entanglements that would haunt the next 5-10 years of my life, I was coasting through school without having to [...]

Despite the somewhat shaky nature of Studio 60 and the what happened to the West Wing when he got all coked up and had to leave… I love Aaron Sorkin. He’s probably my favorite Hollywood writer and the sheer force of oratory that he can write for his characters can leave me weak in my [...]

Apologies for the interruption, the internet connection in Big Sky was the shit (I was only able to steal wireless from another condo at long range) so updating was so inconvenient that I became lazy. Who wants an update without photos anyway!
Besides which, time was pretty packed while we were there and evening mostly involved [...]
