So I learned a colorful new phrase in french, which has delighted my foul mind to no end. “Bouffe ma moule”, which essentially means “eat my snatch”. The story that phrase caùe from is even funnier,but too long for livejournal. I was shown a place near the old part of the city where they would lock prisoners as theContinue reading “Learning new things in Antwerp”

On the Farm and in the city
So I’ve arrived in Antwerp. Yann’s place is huge and great. I awoke to a rooster crowing this morning because Yann has a lot of chicken’s on his little estate on the west side of the Schelde River. Pictures will be uploaded when I get back. I survived 22 hours of flying. This was largely due to my pal, Dave,Continue reading “On the Farm and in the city”
Heading to Belgium.
Saturday morning, I’m off for Antwerp the diamond capitol of the world. I was told to bring my swimsuit because it has been so nice there. It’ll be a nice change from Portland. One of my old pals from Portland is going to meet me out there too! My friend Carrie has been working inContinue reading “Heading to Belgium.”
A Tribute to Gary Gygax: Father of Dungeons and Dragons
It was 1982 when I was introduced to Dungeons and Dragons at Camp Longhorn when I was in Boy Scouts. My friend Brian was my first Dungeonmaster (this was a year before I learned what BDSM was from Oui magazine). The game was a revelation for a pubescent boy. It was a world where youContinue reading “A Tribute to Gary Gygax: Father of Dungeons and Dragons”
Getting caught up.
I’ve been negligent about updating for a while. So here’s the skinny: I’ve got 50 pages of my thesis draft written. I’ve got to try to keep it under 100. I’ve had to swear off improv until my thesis is finished because I got a day job doing archeology. My good friend, Nate Halloran, hasContinue reading “Getting caught up.”
The finer art of Transcription.
Since returning to Portland, I’ve fallen into transcribing the 45 hours or so of one-on-one interviews I compiled during my fieldwork studying the improv scene of Rochester, NY. When I look at the numbers, it seems daunting. When I look at how much time I have before I absolutely need to have a job, itContinue reading “The finer art of Transcription.”
Facebook loves me.
My inbox has been filled with notifications from facebook. Superheroes, superpokes, add a word, likenesses, you name it, and I get notified about it. I’ve even gone in and reduced what I get notified about, and they still keep on coming. It’s time to start cleaning off extraneous apps. Sheesh!

Collaboration Celebration
As my time in Rochester winds to a close, I’m becoming romantic and reflective. Nate Halloran and I just finished a short run of shows by knocking it out of the park last night to a great crowd. We ended up pushing a piano out onto the stage on a whim before the show, andContinue reading “Collaboration Celebration”
Uncle Trouble
Nate and I are doing a show whose title is taken from a short play about good and bad touch. See what happens when we’re left to ourselves.
