So the poetry reading last night was rather cool I'm not entirely happy with the poems I read, but my delivery improved for at least one, and I think workshopping another in class will fix some of its glaring issues. I was really impressed by a few poets… but especially with Martin Kerr's performance (http://www.justanotherman.com)… Continue reading Poetry reading comments

So I got home from work today (5 people in the front end called in sick today, can you believe it?)… and quickly made a wonderful smoothie from items I had sitting around the house: yogurt (mango), skim milk, and frozen peach slices and frozen strawberries. It's absolutely yummy and a throwback to summer. Great… Continue reading Yummy smoothie goodness!

Emotions tend to be primal for you, both your fears and your fantasies. Your intuition is always right, listening to it is the difficult part. Your fortune: You… Continue reading Because I'm procrastinating again (sort of)

I've been exhausted all day. I was working in zombie mode at work today. We were short staffed too. The project however for class is moving along well (tomorrow morning I'll get crackin' on it again!). Anywho… apparently: You're 25% Irish You're not Irish. Not even a wee bit. Not even on St. Patrick's Day!… Continue reading Happy End of St. Patrick's day to all!

Since I've received a few comments from people who apparently wanted to go to the poetry reading and who couldn't 'cause they hadn't received adequate notice (although I'd mentioned it weeks ago in passing in a post)… on the 28th, I'll be reading at the Backroom Vodka Bar on Whyte. There's a $5 cover, as… Continue reading Since you like advance notice…
