You just proved that blogs work!

Tonight at the Fringe Party, I hearby swear that I shall not do the following: 1. Drink an entire 1.5 litre bottle of wine within half an hour of my arrival.2. Get inexplicably depressed about, oh, you know, life.3. Get walked home, sobbing, at 1:30 in the morning. Not that this has ever happened. Also, [...]

Ceci n’est pas une liste.

So, things have been kinda tense lately. Mostly with regard to situations domestic, but hopefully that will get better, although I have been saying that for two and a half years, so who knows. But, yeah, tense. Like, gin-and-tonic around lunchtime kind of tense. Like the kind of tense where you find yourself quietly weeping [...]

Just for the record:

Seeing as how there has been some confusion, I would like to clarify by pointing out that Mon vagin à mangé mon chapeau: Un labyrinthe féministe, is not, in fact, a real film, and you will probably not be able to find it at GenX. However, you will be able to find it in my [...]

Squeal.

45 colours of fishnets! I wish I had millions of dollars.

In France the ducks say "coin-coin."

Some sample dialogue from life: Alexandra: Mom got me a chocolate duck. Did mom get you a chocolate duck? Kristen: What? No. She just got me a regular one. Alexandra: What? But that makes even less sense. Kristen: What? Oh, wait, ok, I don’t actually know what you’re talking about.

He’s in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, and Star Wars Episode I,” and you were like, “no, the ubiquitous Australian actor is Hugo Weaving. He’s [...]

You say pretentious; I say super-duper

Well friends, I have officially handed in the last paper of my undergraduate career. In classic academic asshole fashion, I managed to devise yet another scheme to avoid writing yet another paper, instead transforming the project into an (easily bullshittable) experimental art piece. (For another example of this type of work, I refer you to [...]

Wheeeeee I’m moving to California!

Today I got my fancy new UCLA email address! This is exciting beyond words. (Also: The efficiency of the UCLA email system really drives home the point about how much WLU email really sucks a lot.)

Top ten reasons why you should come to my recital:

1. It will be my final act as a music student at Wilfrid Laurier University. This is significant, I guess. 2. It will be awesome. 3. You will laugh (there will be a song from Spamalot). You will cry (there will be some songs about dying). 4. There will be a whole set of really [...]

Oh, good.

Here’s hoping that the fact that I am wearing fishnet stockings to the final Baroque Ensemble concert this evening will make up for the fact that I have a chest cold and have basically lost my voice. Nobody actually likes Bach, anyhow.
