There have been several blogs by moi on several platforms since 2005. Most of them had been migrated to this present blog. In those migrations, some things have fallen by the wayside… like some comments that were posted via third-party plugins… along with some music also embedded via third-party plugins. But the core is still here. By the beginning of 2020 this one will cease to be… current. As part of a personal shift, I …
Somewhere along the way, I went from loving it to liking it… and at times not liking it that much. Liking it is not bad but loving it is better… much better. Now that I know how and why (see the previous post for context) I’ve been gingerly taking little steps along this process to get forward to where I want to be with myself. Notice I didn’t say “go back to…”. From my late …
Yeah, I haven’t blogged in a while… nor have I created any new vlogs. After this year’s Rogue Festival the high I got from doing my show and working with my friends who were critical in supremely enhancing the show with live shadow play and foley work… dissipated. It was back to real life again… not that that is necessarily a bad thing. I like real life. Over the last few years I have even …
I first tried my hand at it very many years ago… and stopped after four episodes. Though I was much busier then and was involved in many more activities than I am in now, it always felt as if I was scrambling for new material. I suppose it was the playwright in me that insisted every episode had to contain an arc, structure, and substance. Ya know… control issues. So, why have I decided to …
It is 8:10 AM PST on January 3 as I write this. I’ve been thinking about moments… memorable ones… the kind that floats to the surface without any prodding. We live our lives, and in so doing, create memories. Some we try to forget and others we hold on to dearly. Good ones or the less pleasant ones… they are always there. Even if we choose not to remember them, they probably still exist in …
Well, that went by in a jiffy. Don’t get all jiggy yet… it’s still a few days away. Think of this as a pre-emptive write. Sure, there have been challenges along the way (and probably a fair amount more ahead to face)… but I really have no complaints. Besides, bitching without action is worth absolutely nothing… nothing… except to create annoyance to others. (Yeah, this is a not so subtle hint to some of my …
And not the syncopated “down on the one” kind. Truth be told I’ve been in a righteous funk for the last 6 months or so. The last time I was in one of these pits of festering despair was about 10 years ago. And I’m not talking about the periodic “one or two days I’m in one and the next day I’m not” variety. We all get those. That’s part of life. I’m talking here …
It has certainly been the Summer for it. To be accurate it began in late Spring. My Godmother, who I have not seen since I was 16 came to visit. The trip was supposed to have taken place last year, but due to unforeseen circumstances, it was postponed until this year. For a while growing up, I was convinced that Emma Peel from The Avengers was my Godmother. Yeah, she (Val) was that hip and …
Crazy Rich Asians… yeah, I watched it this afternoon… in the cinema at that! (Doesn’t happen very often.) Here is my review. First off, ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ is a fun movie that is targeted towards a mainstream audience. So, pretty much a light rom-com that anyone can enjoy with plot lines that are familiar to that genre. Think ‘Cinderella’, ‘Pretty Woman’ and ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’ served up with a healthy stack of dim …
