LOUD!: Ottawa Fringe - Again
http://textbookadhd.blogspot.com/2011/06/ottawa-fringe-again.html
Wednesday, June 22, 2011. Ottawa Fringe - Again. Live From the Belly of a Whale. No one mentions this show without the words "Countries Shaped Like Stars" popping up at some point in the conversation. And for good reason: in 2009, Nicholas Di Gaetano and Emily Pearlman rocked everybody's world with their charming musical-romantic-comedy-fairytale-epic. It was with great joy, then, that everyone greeted the news of their return this year with Live From the Belly of a Whale. Does it live up to the hype?

http://textbookadhd.blogspot.com/2011/06/fringe-review-3.html
Monday, June 20, 2011. Fucking Stephen Harper: How I Sexually Assaulted the 22nd Prime Minister of Canada And Saved Democracy. In response to some obvious initial questions: 1) No, he didn't actually fuck. Stephen Harper; 2) The Sexual Assault wasn't intentional (and, indeed, that charge was dropped); 3) Yes, that is really the title of the show (and the accompanying book, only $15! But bear with me - I promise I will make myself clear in due course. The title of Fucking Stephen Harper. A hyperactive Hal...

LOUD!: Ottawa Fringe Triple Header (Part 1/3)

Tuesday, June 21, 2011. Ottawa Fringe Triple Header (Part 1/3). After all of these virtual outings, I guess you could say I've been left with a kind of morbid fascination with the place. To some extent, I still can't put a finger on what it is that makes Pripyat such a powerful image. I think there's a haunting, apocalyptic quality to a city without any people left in it. Like a car accident on the highway, you just can't avert your eyes. And there you have it. Retour a Pripyat. View my complete profile.

LOUD!: Ottawa Fringe Reviews 1 and 2
http://textbookadhd.blogspot.com/2011/06/ottawa-fringe-reviews-1-and-2.html
Saturday, June 18, 2011. Ottawa Fringe Reviews 1 and 2. Every Story Ever Told. Telling stories within or - similarly - about. Stories is a trope as old as the hills.

Storytellers seem to agree that, when it comes to layers of narrative. Both Every Story Ever Told. Is a one-man show in which the protagonist (? The young...

LOUD!: Moving (New Blog)
http://textbookadhd.blogspot.com/2011/08/moving-new-blog.html
Tuesday, August 16, 2011. I have probably neglected this space long enough to lose any readers that I did once have, but for posterity/RSS feeds/whatever, here goes. In keeping with my tradition of being 3-5 years late to the blogging party, I've decided to move to Wordpress, and start a new blog there. For now, let this be its own little historical curio: the record of my life from age 16-21. Here's to another glorious five year mission! Thank you all for reading.
