Oh That Whacky Print Medium
The afternoon was spent wandering around Queen’s Park, near the Royal Ontario Museum, checking out an annual festival here called “Word on the Street.” It’s essentially a place where big book/magazine publishers and small or indie book/magazine publishers gather to celebrate the wonder of print. Having spent the last [...]
Surviving The Reading
In the end, the Wife didn’t have to read the book. She did have to go, and she did have to talk about it, but since she’d been written up as an illustrator, they were more interested in having her draw something, so the bulk of her talk was showing off the [...]
Another Humdrum Friday
Interviews were transcribed, Skate was played–or more precisely, subjected to one grievous injury after another, and not much else. The Wife is now getting ready for her first reading tomorrow morning of this:

Broken Bones & San Vanelona

Done it three times now.
Man, I SUCK…
But it’s FUN.
The Cheating Time Travel Post
It’s not actually the end of the day chronologically speaking, but the body clock says it is now Officially Late and so the post time on this blog post reflects that. First, I have now ranted ad nauseum about my take on the Games As Art debate with a truly [...]
I Was Asleep When This Post Should Have Been Made
Got out of bed at 2 am. Previous to that was a trip down to Bloor for an art supply run and some food at pretty decent Japanese restaurant. I blame the recent fixation on Japanese food squarely on Persona 3, since it seems [...]
Resetting The Clock Continues
At least there’s the second replay of Persona 3 to keep things moving…
