There are days when you just want to give up on it all. When you just want to scream "Fuck love, fuck friendship, fuck it all!" then play Grand Theft Auto until your eyes start to bleed. Okay, maybe that last bit is just me.

The point is, when those days come, it really helps if you haven't committed yourself to spending several hours at...

Tuesday night and what can I tell you...

So the Papers arrived on Friday. The big, offical ones stating that in a little under a month I will no longer be married. And about time, really... we've been separated for 3 years, and the last hope of it being temporary died 2 years ago next month, so really, just glad to be done with it....

'Bout time for an update, I reckon. Tell you what, let's just skip the part where I mutter vaguely about the complication in my life and get right to the part about puppets.

For those who haven't heard me mention it, Avenue Q is a Broadway musical that is basically Sesame Street for college graduatues who don't know how the real world works. I love...

Long time, no update. For pity's sake, I must have something to say. Well, let's give it a shot.

JDRook is currently inactive here. That will likely change soon, but not today, so I'll point out that he's currently appearing in A Chorus Line, opening tonight at the Engineered Air Theatre here in Calgary. Saw it last night, thanks to my Growing Influence. It was...

Turns out some of the smileys move. You probably knew that, but my old firewall kept me from seeing it. I miss my old firerwall, and hope to reinstall it soon. Now what was I actually going to say...

Off to see Sin City with some friends shortly. Later, hope to hit Hi-Fi with a decent group. That may not happen. Some of the people...

So a lot of my journals lately have been depressed rants.

Pretty much done with that.

Not that I've had an epiphany or anything, but frankly, I think we've all had enough. So here's something else. This is how I'd like next season to go for Scorpio, my theatre group.
FIRST UP: Two Guys, a Couch, and the Fate of the World. Phil and Chris...

Today is a personal landmark I call "1000 days since I last said I love you." An even 1000 days since the separation started. Along the way, the "trial" separation would become permanent, fix-up attempts would go disasterously wrong, and I would remain alone for the entire 1000 days. And counting.

In my dream, I held her close. She was warm, like I remember another...

It's over now. The Spy Who Left Me, the defining aspect of my life and the one thing I looked forward to above all else since Mexico, has wrapped. The cast party was brilliant fun, ran until 4 AM, leaving me in no condition to move couches the next day then work until midnight. And yet I did.

The post-show depression hasn't fully kicked in...

And at last, here it is... as you may recall (I'm sure I mentioned it) I won the grand prize at Theatre Junction's Random Acts festival a while back, and this meant I received a GIANT CHEQUE for $2500 (which I have to split with the cast, but still). Well, say hello to my little friend!

Hm. Harder than I thought. Well, I've actually got...

So very overworked.
So very tired.
Play going well. You should come see it.
Next update should be worthwhile, but now too tired.
Have to work from noon tomorrow until 6:00 Tuesday night. Gonna die soon.

THE GOOD: At the Gates, my play about an athiest arriving at the Pearly Gates to meet a surly St. Peter, has won the Embridge Emerging Artist award at Theatre Junction's Random Acts festival. This rocks. I rock. SO very much rocking, on top of which I'm off to Duran Duran later tonight.

THE BAD: I think, despite my best efforts to avoid it,...
