Last Friday, I went to see Circus Contraption based on the strong recommendation of a friend of mine. I like circuses. Unfortunately, I ended up being disappointed by Circus Contraption. Part of it was that the last circus I’d seen had been the 7 fingers circus, which was phenomenal. Part of it was that the […]

Flying business class
In case any of the three readers I have was wondering why I didn’t update last week, it was because I got called unexpectedly to visit the home office in Toronto for training. I walked into work on Friday the 13th, and was told to call the company’s travel agent because I was flying to […]
Greg Maddux wins his 300th game
Greg Maddux of the Chicago Cubs won his 300th game yesterday. And I was there (page on another site because I have more disk space for pictures on that one).
Ultimate frisbee
So after playing in that tournament in Seattle over the July 4th weekend, I was kind of discouraged about playing ultimate. I mean, it was an eye-opening experience, seeing 100 ultimate frisbee teams out on a set of 40 fields. Discs as far as the eye could see. Three straight days of ultimate. Crazy stuff. […]
Livejournal
I broke down and opened a livejournal account the other day. It’s even worse, though. I only opened a livejournal account because I don’t have a real server to host this blog on currently, so there’s no real way for me to do comments (both blosxom and Movable Type require a server where I have […]

Intellectual hair salon
My friend Wilfred and I were chatting via IM, and he was lamenting the lack of intellectual discourse in his life. I replied that we needed to start a salon, then added “intellectual, not hair”. But the more I thought about it, the more the idea of an intellectual hair salon amused me. “Today’s topic: […]
Busy busy busy
Very few updates recently. It’s been an incredibly busy month. I just finished two weeks of singing Mahler 2 with MTT, which ate up all of my evenings but was an absolutely thrilling experience that will be a fantastic album. My parents were here for the past two weekends to celebrate my birthday, which was […]
Word Wars
Official movie site I’ve been a big fan of Andrew Chaikin for a long time. He’s an amazing vocal percussionist who I first saw performing with the House Jacks, but now does a variety of independent stuff. I’m on his email announcement list, so I get a heads up of all the neat and cool […]
