Drink Klutz

Apparently in the US I’m a klutz with drinks.
Yesterday at lunch with Nathan and Casey in Olympia, a glass of ice water slipped out of my hand, tipped over, and poured itself across the restaurant table and onto my lap. I had to hang up my jeans in the sun all afternoon to dry the […]

Travel Travails

Spending the night in Olympia at Sausage Software survivor Nathan Allan’s B&B, The Swantown Inn. It’s good to finally decompress after what would probably be my worst trip across the Pacific in terms of things going wrong along the way. Since this was Jess’s first introduction to international air travel (New Zealand doesn’t count), there […]

Inflight Jenga.

Hitting the Road

Jess and I are away for four weeks starting today, with stops planned in Portland (Oregon), Ottawa, Montreal and Tahoe. Watch my Flickr stream for snaps from the road, and this blog for updates.

And what a final show it was! It’s not especially useful to dwell on your successes in improvisation, because the very next […]

Getting All Barenaked

I’m a big fan of Barenaked Ladies. Not only do they make music I dig, but they’ve got an enlightened approach to user rights, and there is a geeky vein through all of the work they do (I refer you to their blog and podcast).
But with the pending release of their new album, Barenaked Ladies […]

Taken together, the BTTF trilogy is still my very favourite film, which for me makes this split-screen synchronized edit of the coinciding events of BTTF 1 and 2 fifteen minutes of pure bliss.

Tangents

Although the show started last weekend, the first one I’m in is tonight, so I have selfishly waited until now to announce it.
Tangents is a show I helped develop over the past few months at Impro Melbourne, and it’s very exciting to finally get to show it to the masses.
Two strangers meet at a party […]
