Strangely, I’ve realised that one of my weird shock moves is something of a barometer of my mood. If I’m in an upswing, it occurs to me to occasionally break out the hate-fuck for comic purposes. The Hate-Fuck defined: for the proper results on this move you need to have it follow a discussion ofContinue reading “The Hate-Fuck”

Notes on Heroes from Garry Smith
“This need to escape via the hero has been described variously…as: an identity voyage, psychic mobility, and dream relaization.” “[There are] three main directions hero worship can take: reinforcement, seduction and transcendence. Reinforcement keeps the individual within the social structure and directs him[/her] toward socially approved goals. Seduction keeps the individual within social bounds butContinue reading “Notes on Heroes from Garry Smith”
Invasion over, Slovenians routed.
Well, the Slovenes fly home tomorrow, and I’m sad to see them go. We had a great outing today taking them to waterfalls and lunch at Timberline. I had great conversations with both Gregor and Sonia, who rode in my strike vehicle. It was so nice to be able to return the hospitality they showedContinue reading “Invasion over, Slovenians routed.”
Rockin out in Victoria
Friday night at VIIF. 3 great shows, and some great conversations. I can’t wait to work in the ensemble show tomorrow. I can’t wait to see Narabov play. I’ve been having a great time sharing a room with Kerry. Marilyn has been making me laugh my ass off, as is Tom. I’m getting to catchContinue reading “Rockin out in Victoria”
Suffering
I’m in the midst of a life lesson on suffering and attachments. I like to think of myself as someone who seeks to reduce the suffering in others, but I’m sorely lacking sometimes in dealing with my own suffering. I’m also recognizing that I also act to increase the suffering of others when they threatenContinue reading “Suffering”
This makes me very sad.

Back on the horse
I had a good show and rehearsal this weekend. It feels good to be back on the stage and laughing with friends. I’m still catching up with being back in Portland after so long. It was a hard landing, but it can only go up from here. It’s strange not having Nate Halloran around.
Single again
I’ll never date someone under 25 again. expatriate was an inconsiderate flake who kept telling me he loved me when he didn’t. On top of it, he asked me to give him a backrub just hours before telling me it was over……Class act. He’ll make a good politician. At least he picked me up fromContinue reading “Single again”
Beginnings and Endings
I was struck by a mix of emotions today at the BBQ that was the finish for wedding festivities for my cousin’s wedding. It struck me near the end that this could potentially be the last time I see some of my closer aunts and uncles alive because of their age and health. Meanwhile, IContinue reading “Beginnings and Endings”
