Stupid writing exercise o’ the day: write your own eulogy
Gawd, I hate writing exercises that have you write your own eulogy. Such a cliche, and in any case, isn’t it all so much blowing smoke up your own butt? Also, doesn’t it depend who’s supposedly writing the eulogy? “Write it as if it was your boss.” Which boss?...
Sheer coincidence, I’m sure
The other day I got stuck behind a bus with one of those propaganda ads on its ass about how fiscally responsible Translink supposed is. Yeah, yeah, one of the least worst in the world… but that includes those Indian busses and trains where no one pays, they just...
Pretentious Names
Friend of mine was mentioning a 22 year old colleague of hers named Sterling. Jesus, the 90s were fucked up. Well, at least it’s not Madisyn. Apparently the chicks at this business networking thing she was at all gushed about how much they love his name. There’s something in...

Update on the Vampire’s Ball

One of my Langara profs used to work in the newsroom with the late great Jack Webster. Apparently Jack once told him, “When it stops being fun, Teddy, get the Hell out.” Pondering that right now, which is to say there’s a good chance the Vampire’s Ball (my weekly...
Wild orgy night
Wild night in the fish tank tonight: two of my dwarf aquatic frogs are humping while a third watches and a fourth is sitting next to the first three with his/her back turned to the whole sordid scene. Party on....
Great timing
About 1/3 of the way into my set tonight at La Fontana, I get a stabbing pain in my left knee (old injury) and I can feel it about to give out. Caught it and shifted to balancing on my right foot while having just my left toes touching...
Good morning.
Busy day today. Set my alarm for 9:15 (which is early for my biorhythms), had to be at work for 10:00, out of work at 2:00 then zip over to the West End for a comedy-related business meeting (ie, real work; important work), zip over to Langara after that...
