Relocation
You may perhaps have noticed that I haven't posted much of anything in quite some time. I thought I should let you know that that is because I've moved my blog. You are all invited to come visit http//kingshearte.blogspot.com, where I blog mostly about stuff I read, watch, make, and participate in. I'll still check in here to see what you lovely ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
So the manager of the cafeteria at work just died today. As in this morning. In the cafeteria. I wasn't there, and I didn't really know him, but dude. It's been a rought morning, and the whole office is a mess. Because he worked in the cafeteria, pretty much everyone knew him at least a little, plus several of his family members also work here, so ( Read more... ) -

In a murder mystery of, say, 400 pages, by what point do you think the first dead body should show up ( Read more... ) -
Light at the end of the light switch?
So, after the joint us-Thom gongshow that got our power cut off in the first place, Hydro is doing their best to perpetuate the idiocy that keeps us in the dark. You see, when I last posted, we were supposed to get hooked back up Friday or Saturday. Yeah, no.

Auditions and Garfunkel
So, after a hiatus of a few years, I decided to give Orpheus a shot again, and auditioned last Friday for the next show, Tom Sawyer. Got the call last night. Didn't make it. Which is OK. I'm a little disappointed, but not broken up about it or anything. What does kind of bother me is the way the director explained it. He basically said that, ( Read more... ) -
My August Reading
Life of Pi - Yann Martel - A book that, frankly, only gets really interesting at the end, for reasons that I don't want to get into, and that, based on other reviews I've read, either you get the point or you don't. I thought it was very interesting; others found it... disorienting? Confusing? Thought it wrecked the rest of the story? I think they ( Read more... ) -
My June & July Reading
My June & July Reading
Coeur d'encre, the French translation of Tintenherz, more commonly known to Anglophones as Inkheart, by Cornelia Funke, trans. Marie-Claude Auger
I'd heard a lot of good things about this book, but sadly, it did not live up to expectations. Tedious in parts, inconsistent, and not-very-believable characterizations.

Panto Shenanigans!
So, I should have posted this a while ago, but I didn't get around to it. This year, Don and I both auditioned for the Lakeside panto, and we both got cast, and we're very excited. He's playing the villain, and I will be playing the extra-stupid half of the comedic duo. I know he's looking forward to it, and I seriously can't tell you how excited I ( Read more... )
