Impossible to work

After a long and protracted illness (laziness), I have returned. Why? Because yesterday I saw a Punch and Judy Show (and a short play by Rachilde) in someone’s living room. It was a wee preview of what Xwing is going to be doing in the spring. I won’t say anymore, just stay on the lookout […]

So the other week Sarah sent out an email to some friends asking if anybody wanted to go see Tiny Ninja Hamlet on Monday. I (spending a great deal of my time online) was the first to respond, so I got to go see a bunch of tiny ninjas perform Hamlet. I did not realize […]

I apologize to those who actually want to read what I have to say here. I have been entirely too busy trying to finish up issue 1 of Try Less Hard with Sarah to be able to post anything. I also went to four separate performances last weekend, which really took a lot of time […]

Hopefully your day is slightly sunnier now.

You know, I watched a fair amount of baseball this season. And during the season, Detroit really seemed unstoppable. But apparently I was wrong, as all 5 games of the World Series including a throwing error on the part of a Tigers pitcher. I mean, wow, Detroit sucks, who knew? TSK said to me before […]
