A very swinish influenza

OK, so I don’t know for a *fact* that I have swine flu. I do have something, either a bad cold or a flu of some type, so I’ve spent the past couple days off work, lying around and watching movies. It would be a lot of fun if I weren’t physically so [...]

Unwise Ipod blogging

So here I am, on my couch, barely able to type because there are two basset hounds lying on me, about to unwisely discuss sensitive personal and professional matters on the internet.

Concert Review: Sunparlour Players + Josh Reichmann, Theatre Centre

Last night my lovely friend Celeste took me to this show. While one of the Sunparlour Players (Mike Rosenthal) was in the PRO for a couple of years, and is a friend of mine, I’d never actually heard them play.
So we went down to the Theatre Centre, which is normally, well, a theatre, but [...]

Concert review: Or how to be the least liked band EVER

Karl Mohr and Ivan Blackbird, Cameron House
I must begin this review by confessing that I did not stay for all of Ivan Blackbird’s set.  Ruth Cassie (the singer/songwriter of Ivan Blackbird) writes great songs and has assembled a fantastic band, but I was operating on three hours sleep the night before, had already had two [...]
