Also:

I would like to go to Club Abstract on Tuesday night because I have this Bride of Frankenstein wig that I will otherwise have no good excuse to ever wear. Someone should come with me. Anyone. Please, god, I’m not going alone.

This Weekend I:

1. Decided that I will never take the Greyhound ever again and will instead learn to fly. 2. Made lots of Fringe Festival posters for the low, low price of Tanya‘s integrity as an employee. 3. Finally understood what Tanya meant about energy drink and vodka. 4. Made Tanya’s downstairs neighbours mad. 5. Discovered that [...]

Oh, funny.

Lately I have been rather down on the whole “being a music student” situation, largely because I have this crisis around this time every year, and also because of some complicated voice/body/vocality issues that are best left undiscussed. In order to make myself feel better, here are some good things about being a music student: [...]

Five Things

In response to 5 million dollars of cuts to Status of Women Canada (because, you know, we’ve apparently already made it), Progressive Bloggers is asking bloggers to post five things that feminism has done for them. I was tagged by the fabulous, femilicious Candace, and here are my five things – five things that I [...]

You ripped my heart out of my chest – replaced it with a grenade blast

And sometimes, suddenly, unexpectedly, someone who you’ve only known for a few weeks, someone who you think hardly knows you at all, will see right through your bullshit facade and call you on it and ask you where you are and why you’re not present, here, now, in this body, and she’ll know what you’ve [...]

Very Secret Confession

I wasn’t going to admit this to anyone, but instead I’ve decided to tell the whole world. Today I bought a season of Lois and Clark on DVD. Lois and Clark was my favourite show when I was ten. I was in love with Clark. Truly, madly and deeply so. And I’m kind of worried [...]

Tea, Earl Grey, hot.

I’ve always wanted to order my tea that way, but, seriously, how totally dorky would that be (and how totally dorky is anyone who appreciates that reference)? I have had this sudden, horrible realization that I have utterly no sense of self-discipline, and, consequently, never work on anything until the last minute, never go to [...]

Report from the front lines

Choice contributions to class discussion in my Women and Social Justice class: “You know, I think that in Women’s Studies sometimes we read, like, too much far deep into things.” Too much far deep. Those were the actual words spoken. Too much far deep. I don’t even know what that means. I don’t even know [...]

And Alexandra uses her powers for good instead of evil

New Policy: If your name starts with the letter F and you enjoy coming to my house at three in the morning and pounding on my door until I wake up, you are hereby forbidden from any and all involvement in any theatre festival I happen to be responsible for. Also, I may or may [...]
