Lake of the Strangers

Lake of the Strangers

In celebration of Lake of the Strangers winning the Sterling Award for  Outstanding New Play (they were nominated for four awards), and in connection with Naheyawin, I've revisited my viewing of the play so many months ago. I was sent a series of questions about how I was affected by the work. I also did a review of the show.

Children's book reviews

I do a lot of reading to my kids so I thought I'd go over some of my favourites (and least favourites) of out kid lit library. There is a little Sandra Boynton, Dr. Seuss, Moby Dick, Paw Patrol, and Beatrix Potter (with some others mingled in for taste). Main picture is from 'The Three Snow Bears' by Jan Brett.

Here is the long description of just what the crap Grimpen and Friends is, " GRIMPEN AND FRIENDS is a variety gaming show on the website twitch.tv, streaming every weekday from 11am to 2pm PST. We play games from all sorts of different genres on all sorts of different systems while chatting about our love of video games and random stupid nonsense. "

In this edition, I read a short Christmas story I wrote last year for Apocalypse Kow's awesome annual Christmas show. Also, I recorded a performance of myself during Booty Goose's 'Weird Al Karaoke', where one takes a popular song and changes the lyrics. I wrote a filthy version of 'Its Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas'. Enjoy!

She is triple H (not the goddamn wrestler): humble, humorous, and ensconced with humanity. We talk about working in the arts, being your own hero, and what it is like dealing with the brokenness of society and still being able to love deliberately. Oh yeah, we also talk about a mysterious box of bones.
