Artistic Immunity
Mar 24th
That’s a term I came up with last night. Like diplomatic immunity, but for the overly creative. There are only 39 entries in Google for “Artistic Immunity.” Perhaps I should patent the idea.
Last night was the Main Event. My hands are still black from the makeup I was putting on people. I chose not to be in this year’s drama events simply because I’d been in every other one. So, in the end I helped out doing makeup; I figured I’d been on the receiving end enough that I could dish some out. It was pretty fun, being behind the More >

Mar 22nd
Today is March 22nd, in honour of which I trimmed my pubic hair.
In other news, today is March 22nd, one year since I first started blogging. It’s certainly been an interesting year. I wouldn’t hesitate to say it was the best and simultaneously the worst year of my life. Thus, this year was the best and simultaneously the worst year of my life.
The year at a glance (and what made it the best/worst):
- Got a new job, doing maintenance at TACF (great)- The Passion movie (great)- Buying turntables (great)- Playing a lead role in a large stage production and performing in Ottawa (great)- More >

Leave it to New Zealanders like me to come up with nifty ideas like this calculator. Speaking of New Zealanders, it’s been said at work that by having a mullet I’m carrying on the legacy of Hamish, the previous employee in this position. He had a crazy mullet (and serious fu-man-chu for a while).

Last night I cut my hair into a mullet. Sadly, I must cut it off by Saturday at the latest. But it’ll be a fun week. I’ve been singing Five Iron Frenzy to myself all night:
“Cutting it short on top,I want that for me.Growing it long in the back,So savage and so free.”
In other amusing news, my mother arrived back from the Catch the Wave cruise, and brought me a pipe! It’s quite an interesting pipe, looking more like a Caribbean ganja pipe than an Irish gentleman’s pipe. But that’s quite alright. It’s actually a nifty little thing, because it More >
Shadow
Mar 1st
Been listening to Project 86 lately, since I got my CD back from Maija’s house. They’re newest CD is really good. I mentioned it. I’m especially liking this song…
Shadow on MeThese petalsThis blackened rose In a soil all my ownShrouding your hallowed ground Like seeds who’ll never sowLike forgery and larcenyAnd my ill-gained revelryI recite these scripted linesWhile embers of a different time…Go drifting by
When every word you ever said came trueAll I missed in all of this was you
Can you see a shadow on meCalling me to leaveFind in me a trace of you in All this tragedy(You’re the only More >
