Ten things I've learned from Jerry Sandusky
November 17, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Teachers, gym teachers, and coaches have to be extremely cautious around their students. There was a time when teachers would run the gamut from physical affection to physical abuse. That time has passed. For the most part it’s for the best, but it seems a bit much when a teacher can’t even hug a kid, [...]
Ten things I've learned from workplace politics
November 13, 2011 By 2 Comments
Note: this is not about any workplace in particular. They say you shouldn’t burn bridges, and that’s true. But I’ve burned bridges before, and it’s hard not to be angry sometimes if you feel like you’ve been taken advantage of. The trick is to buck up and apologize if you’ve made a mistake, and try to [...]

November 11, 2011 By Leave a Comment
1. In the 1960s and 1970s, Canadian Quakers housed and supported a large number of conscientious objectors in Canada. It allowed people like my dad to live, and eventually settle, here when he came up from California during the Vietnam War. It later meant that I briefly had a place to stay in Vancouver when [...]
Ten things I've learned from nuts
November 8, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Cashews are delish! Peanut butter is really sugary. Unless it’s natural. Then it’s really oily. Small things can kill you. If you are into almond butter, you are also guaranteed to have done a lemon cleanse. Nuts, like everything, are delicious with chocolate. When I buy nut-themed mixes, I often spend a fair amount of [...]

I went to this. I want to perform in it next year. Because it’s the best. Sadly, I missed heavyweights like Baby Wants Candy and Freestyle Love Supreme, but I caught a lot of amazing stuff.

Ten things I've learned from guerrilla improvised theatre
October 31, 2011 By 2 Comments
Note: I’ve done various types of planned and unplanned improvised things both in Toronto and in Vancouver. Generally, I would consider guerrilla improv to be something done that is not in a traditional theatre or performance space, and that takes people by surprise. Like a flash mob…sort of. Having a loud argument with a fellow improviser [...]
Ten things I've learned from crowds
October 26, 2011 By
There is one acceptable place to look in a crush of people on a subway in rush hour. Up. When you are in a mob, you feel powerful. When you are facing a mob, you feel desperate. Crowds allow for many things you can’t do on your own: crowd-surfing, crowd-sourcing, ‘the wave’, orgies. Elevators are [...]

Ten things I've learned from cheese
October 18, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Cheese is delicious. Cheese is so delicious that I could never be vegan, specifically due to cheese. Also…burgers. The moon is made of cheese. Wallace and Gromit proved it by going to the moon in a home-made rocket. Lunar cheese does not taste like any other cheese. Do not cut the pointy bit off the [...]
