Fourth Street Fantasy, Franco-fête
Goodness me, I'm tired. Sadly the timing didn't work out, so I'm going to miss attending Fourth Street this time around. Wishing all my friends who aren't missing it a good time. In some cases, I'll have the chance to see them again at Farthing, which everything is booked for, and less is happening around it than this year's Fourth Street, so it's ( Read more... ) -
A classic five things
1. Yes it's been awhile. I've been reading still, albeit less frequently than in the past, but a series of events flattened me in terms of my belief that I could write intelligibly, so I've been holding back from saying much. I'm not done dealing with that, but it's been long enough.

Long weekend - Mill Race
Well I'm tentatively optimistic about the Executive Committee meeting, but that's not based on a great deal of information. @leahbobet and others on twitter mostly. We'll see how it shakes out ( Read more... ) -
Core services review - Executive committee meeting
For those who might be interested in seeing Toronto City Hall's proceedings in today's Executive Committee meeting, Rogers is streaming it here. If one is in Toronto, it's on cable channels 10 and 63. I'm unfortunately not, and I need to head out now, which means that when I get back, I'll be behind, and won't have a recording that I can view. If ( Read more... ) -
Canada Day long weekend, Pride, Fourth Street Fantasy
Greetings to new reader tiger-spot. It was nice to see you at Fourth Street. Your journal looks interesting, so I'll probably follow you, but I haven't actually gotten to know you, so it'll wait till I've worked through my old posts privacy settings.

Going!
Hah! I might have decent pattern matching, but I'm not so good at seeing an individual object I'm looking for in a mass of others. Which is to say that it was on a shelf I had already searched at least four times. Now to sleep. And then to packing.

Fourth Street Fantasy
Bah. It's looking increasingly unlikely that I'll find my travel documents in time to make my flight. While I haven't cancelled my hotel bookings etc yet, I don't know that one should expect to see me there either. As problems go, this is comparatively minor, but it's still disappointing since for a number of friends, this is the one time this year ( Read more... ) -
Luminato 2011
I just came back from seeing Part B of One Thousand and One Nights at, and commissioned for, Luminato (big multidisciplinary art festival in the city, runs about 10 days, this year's major theme is the Arab World). I'm seeing Part A tomorrow. It's a big work, fairly large cast, pretty diverse. A lot of the stories in the Shahrazad cycle are fairly ( Read more... ) -
Caution, Care, and Communication
I'm a cautious person, conservative when it comes to risk taking. When under the influence of strong emotion I am wary of acting, of doing something ill considered. The phrase 'in the heat of the moment' is a thing of some horror to me. This is partly by way of explanation of why I shut down most participation in online dialogue for about eight ( Read more... ) -
So long Eric So
For some reason, the most immediate culturally prompted impulse when I encountered this piece of news about an hour ago was to swear. I didn't, because it didn't personally make sense to me, but the part of my head that presents my conscious mind with normal social behavioural options was prompting it pretty hard ( Read more... )
