On July 21st I emailed the media guy for inquiring about a media pass as a representative of Radio Glendon. I’d been vaguely aware of Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest.

Toronto vs. Ottawa vs. Me. June 18, 2010 at 3:39 pm · Filed under YIIP. Going from Toronto to Ottawa you might not expect, and as I have joked extensively, that there would be much adjusting or adaptation. Massive amounts of culture shock? I chose the clothes, I like puttin’em on, I think I look good, and it’s still me. Where once I might have hesitated with a question or a comment with the boss of my bosses, I don’t anymore, now I just knock. As for those unexpected specifics of my office? So I’ve...

Toronto vs. Ottawa vs. Me. July 29, 2010 at 12:38 am · Filed under General. I’ve been reading. A Prayer For Owen Meany. Veined throughout the book is an incredibly layered and complex commentary on the American war in Vietnam. The passage that caught me, a brief commentary on a protest in Washington in ’67, highlights only a fraction of my sentiment towards the G20 protests but it is, I think, rather poignant. It is as follows:. 3 Comments ». Wrote @ July 30, 2010 at 10:50 am. Wrote @ September 8, 2010 a...

Toronto vs. Ottawa vs. Me. July 14, 2010 at 10:11 pm · Filed under YIIP. So, its been 14 days since Canada Day, but while Larissa had a giggle about my muscles, I did promise her I’d post here about my experience in our nation’s capital on Canada Day. Megh and I went down just after noon, and walked around, met up with Lyne, and walked around some more. In all honesty? 1 Comment ». Wrote @ July 15, 2010 at 10:52 am. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.
