Birthday over. Birthday partying over. Long, slow, painful recovery from birthday party not quite over but the important part's dealt with. Thanks to all who sent birthday wishes, now let's take a moment to see how I'm doing as the last year of my 20's gets underway.

1) Work. Got two raises this year, one just this month, so I'm pleased with that. Still may...

So Two Guys, a Couch, and the Fate of the World opens in a few hours. Watch it! Watchitwatchitwatchit! Danny G commands!

Anyhoo, let's see if I can recall where I was.

Danny G's Tales of Adventure Part 3: Fringe Wrap Up
We're well past caring about the minutia of the shows I saw, so here's the interesting part of my last day in Edmonton,...

I do take forever sometimes, don't I. Oh well, let's get started.

DANNY G'S TALES OF ADVENTURE, PART 1: THE CAT AWARDS

So my vacation really began with the second annual Calgary ACTS theatre expo and awards show. The expo... I don't know if it was just poorly advertised or what, but it was not as well attended as we'd hoped. We did do some...

And I'm back. The journeys have ended, the sights have been seen, and it's time I got back to all my various responsibilities. Not the least of which is that my play, Two Guys, a Couch, and the Fate of the World, goes up in, like, two weeks and the entire cast will be assembled for the first time ever tomorrow. Now, when you...

First off, let me point out that the weather here in Calgary was miserable for exactly the period of time JDRook was in town. Now he's in Edmonton and it's getting nice again. So there.

Okay, kiddos, gonna be mostly offline for a while. Got some travels coming up, and I expect my internet access, let alone SG access, will be limited. Here's how it...

I'm not saying 80's music is flawless, it has some things to answer for. I mean, if you ask me, I don't think you can be serious as cancer when you say rythm is a dancer.

Anyway. Item 54: I said I'd have a story from the weekend, so here goes.

Perhaps I should just stop trying to have fun on Fridays. There always seems...

So. Updates. Right. Well, what can I tell you...

As some (okay, two) of you know, I'm somewhat quick to offer a backrub, but rarely, if ever, request one for myself. This is because in recent years, I forget how long, really, they've not done much for me. Same with muscle relaxants or anything designed to relieve tension. But why? Could I make the melodramatic...

So last time I alluded to the fact that my last play, the Spy Who Left Me, was nominated for some Cattie awards. It was towards the end, if you didn't make it that far I hardly blame you. What are the Catties, you say? They're the Calgary ACTS Awards, a recognition of excellence in community theatre here in Calgary. We are up for:...

So JDRook's back. Why not go give him a hello? Ask him how his tour's going, bother him about not updating. That's it, don't worry, he won't bite... he can't. This is the internet. You're not actually talking to him. But seriously, folks...

It's Monday. In theory, I should be at work by now, doing the first of two back-to-back early morning shifts. But...
