The Baying Hound: April 2006
http://thebayinghound.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 15, 2006. JJisaFool requested that this post- originally placed as a response to Jose's lovely review of The Swan. Be posted on my own blog, as he found it a worthy topic in and of itself. I brushed it up a little, but left it as is for the most part. Question for artists, arts administrators and, perhaps most importantly, arts consumers who visit this neck of the woods . . . To what degree does one pay attention to reviews? In light of this. And this (4th show down). I think, sometimes, ...

The Baying Hound: January 2006
http://thebayinghound.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 28, 2006. For a combination of reasons- addiction management, health improvement, the advice of my acupuncturist- I'm cutting down on coffee and, for the next few days (to clear up a nebulous but uncomfortable health matter), drinking green tea, eating cucumbers and pears and avoiding peanuts, alcohol, shrimp and spicy food (I'm also supposed to be eating mung beans, but I wouldn't even know where to look- I've eaten mung bean. I wonder if those would be any help? A very fascinating sho...

The Baying Hound: August 2005
http://thebayinghound.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 31, 2005. A Bouquet of Hammers. There's little in the world of cinema as rare or as exciting as a truly original thriller. Oh, Hollywood still puts out plenty of thrillers, thrill. With incoherent plotting, graphic violence, unsympathetic characters, torture, masochism and/or other deviances, from the petty to the truly perverse. This approach can have its merits. Shock is, after all, a powerful emotion; and handled well- think Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs. You haven't seen it yet? Which ...

The Baying Hound: February 2006
http://thebayinghound.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 23, 2006. So part of my job is to cut articles related to theatre from our local paper for scrapbooking purposes. The irony that someone is paying me. To read the arts section is amusing enough in itself. But then, lo and behold, as I open the arts section today, this. Is what greets me (I recommend enlarging the pictures and scrolling through to get the full effect). And it warmed my ever-lovin' heart. Why, you ask? I thought. "There's been women's hockey. All this time, and I never.

The Baying Hound: September 2005
http://thebayinghound.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 21, 2005. Your Element is Fire. Your power color: red. Like a fire, you are full of power and light. A born leader, you easily draw people toward you. You are full of courage and usually up for anything dangerous. You have a huge ego and love to be the center of attention. What Element Are You? Who'd be fool enough to follow me? As usual, I was torn on the questions; but the brevity and specificity of the questions seemed to speak to the notion of where you are right now. Link: The P...

The Baying Hound: December 2005
http://thebayinghound.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 30, 2005. Oh, what a relief it is. Her temperature's been bobbing around a bit, and there seem to have been some side effects that I'll leave for her to elucidate once she's feeling better; but on balance, things are going well. Other than that, I've just been preparing for a new year. Please, this isn't one of those. So this year, to my pleasant surprise, New Year's Eve was a pleasant affair, spent imbibing in a gorgeous cottage on a lake. We had fireworks, music, a fireplace, a cou...

The Baying Hound: October 2005
http://thebayinghound.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 20, 2005. As I Might Have Guessed . . . You fit in with:. Your ideals are mostly spiritual, but in an individualistic way. While spirituality is very important in your life, organized religion itself may not be for you. It is best for you to seek these things on your own terms. Posted by thelyamhound at 12:24 PM. Wednesday, October 19, 2005. OK, I'll bite . . . Being directed by the beige one himself. I was also growing hair and a beard for Gorey Stories. Sky Cries Mary, Elephant Song.

The Baying Hound: March 2006
http://thebayinghound.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 30, 2006. Napping in the Eye of the Hurricane. Seems to be going well . . . I think. Actually, I'm pretty sure. I think. No, I'm definitely pretty sure . . . about everyone else's work. This is, of course, what every show looks like to me a week-and-a-day before opening, and I can't have sucked in ALL of those plays, or no one would cast me anymore. Right? A couple of days ago, but hopelessly off. Am I good enough? All in all, though, the show as a whole. I've been chanting a good deal re...

The Baying Hound: May 2006
http://thebayinghound.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 31, 2006. Notes from an Old Man. Okay, so I'm now in my mid. Thirties; I'm 34 as of 9:15 (or so) yesterday morning. I left work at 1:00pm yesterday, had lunch, went to look at some furniture and caught a matinee ( X-Men: The Last Stand. Which wasn't bad, wasn't great, was sorta disappointing- look for a review sometime in the next day or two on 5 C Reviews. I was given a dark chocolate bar with chilies and cocoa nibs, Aztec style. I ate it on Monday. Mmmmmmmmm. Oh, and I got an I-POD!
