Now for what's been awesome in my life lately. First off, last week was my birthday (thank you all for the lovely birthday wishes!), and as usual, wadewalker threw me a surprise party at my favourite vegan restuarant, Lotus Pond. Everyone was there, and I was ridiculously surprised. How he manages to fool me every year, I have no idea! What is this, year 5? Sheesh! Anyways, my friend Sarah got me this fabulous cartoon of me from Get In Toon, some really great local artists.



Then, two days later on my actual birthday, wadewalker and I attended the Monday Magazine M Awards, a local celebration of arts. I was able to accept two awards on behalf of my friend Sarah Kramer (see above) for her new cookbook, and for the book launch party I danced at for the same book. Accepting on behalf feels just like winning, I should be a professional awards acceptor! Then came my category, and the birthday gods must have been shining on me, because I won for Favourite Dancer!



Unfortunately, Wadewalker was cheated out of his Best Director awards, and the two leads in his last film The Dead Inside didn't win either. I hope they stop lumping film and theatre productions together in one category next year.

Finally, I've got two great shows coming up in the next two weeks:




and the Zomburlesque Frontline Films Fundraiser!
