Word is I'm going to be jetsetting all year.

Coming up: reviews of Canada's many international airports and the taxis that serve them.

And yet I can't find a SINGLE copy of White Blood Cells below the $25 price point.

Have you heard the Raconteurs yet?

I don't like them as much as I like the White Stripes, which I only point out to illustrate that you made a White Stripes fan out of me, you rascal.

Ah, vindication. And from a literary professional no less. I've been absentmindedly trying to piece together that puzzle for the better part of a year. McCarthy was obvious, but for some reason, with Castaneda, I'd usually remember who he was, but draw a blank on the name. An itch scratched, finally.

Just landed from Moncton. Yesterday was Tuesday so it must have been Halifax.

East Coast, you're a lovely bunch of friendly, warm people, but if your food is any indication of your capacity to appreciate things sensual, you're a lot of lousy lays. I could get into the details, but I think this sums it up: lunch served at the hotel today was sandwiches and...

It really is. I love carla.
In fact, I love carla as much as I hate wonderbread.

If Kinko's were a shoeshine boy

Shoeshine Boy: (finishes shining shoes) There you go, mister.

Man #1: What do I owe you?

SB: A million dollars.

Man #1: For a shoeshine?! Fuck you, David Copperfield! (leaves)

SB: Bye!

(repeat 1000x)

Man #1001: Say, can I get a shoeshine?

SB: Sure! (shines shoes)

Man #1001: So, what's that come to?

SB: A million dollars.

Man #1001:...

Probably... it's not something I really discuss in person anyway. surreal The only people who knew were the friends who went with me and a couple of people I showed them to.

I'm not really sure how to interpret your comment, I guess. Is it some sort of jab or completely tongue-in-cheek wit?

Awww look at her, she is a proper dog!

Isn't it genius, I love so many Prince songs but I think that one is my all time favourite lyrically and Cyndi with her squeak just makes it perfect.

Bob just never gets dull for me.

Our best run of the play happened tonight. Glad the audience was there.

Many thanks to maike, Freakpirate, Lotus, and Oryx. I swear I heard each of them guffawing.

With respect to that brewpub, I'm thinking the weekend after next might be a fine time to make a long overdue return to Toronto.

All my plans from now until May, I suspect, will have a side order of "if I don't have to be at the office that weekend", but that notwithstanding, it would be unspeakable groovy if you were free.

Also, do let me know if there's a script for your play that you wouldn't mind letting a member of the peanut gallery read.

Ran the play twice tonight in a half-assed dress rehearsal (i.e., not in the space we're performing in, and missing some of the heavier props). It is certified grade A funny. If you're fucking a duckbilled tranny whore for all of tomorrow you'll just have to deal with the disappointment you'll feel from 8 until about 8:55. She doesn't owe you a refund: you should've...

Good luck with the play.. I wish I could see it.

I forgot to mention it after our Don Cherry back and forth but consider yourself and Ginny to have a standing invitation to crash here should you wish to visit Montreal. I have a nice little place here with a backyard and everything.. just getting everything together right now.. but an excellent location and definitely large enough for guests to stay.

Salinger was excellent.

Pleasure reading is over for now.

Until February 17 I'll be reading the same 40 pages over and over and over...

I'm currently doing a volunteer gig and I'm looking for more as soon as I can find them. As frustrating as they can be I do know it's the only real way to get ahead in the business. I'm just having one of those moments where I'm weighing the pros and cons of theatre vs eviction and creditors.

I'm also partially kicking myself because in talks with friends from back home I've discovered that after taking my name off the IATSE call list in Edmonton (because I can't very well work for them) I received more calls than when I lived there. In fact, I'd be faring a great deal better than I am now.

I sincerely doubt that I'm going to give up trying. I put far too much time and effort into an education to roll over and die just yet. It doesn't mean I'm going to enjoy the long haul... but it looks like I'm stuck with it.

The advice is greatly appreciated. smile
