Thoughts that spill out of my head into the internet ether. Who am I ? I'm a juggler comedian / talent agent who works and lives near Ottawa, Canada. Want to know more. Read on.. but it's not all for the faint of heart.

BAM! Winter

So yesterday it was your usual cold, gray sucky November weather. We had grass (it wasnt necesarily green, but it was there.) No leaves on the trees, cold wind that gets you through whatever layers you happen to be wearing.. you get the idea.

I woke up today, and BAM it was winter. It was -14c, snow all over the place. It was winter. I didnt wear a toque and my head was cold. Typical winter.

I just finished watching The New Tim Burton version of Charlie ands the Chocolate Factory. I loved it! What a bent movie. JOnny Depp is some sort of weird Michael Jacksonish alien. Great movie though.. thoroughly weird, good story, great characters (or caricatures.)

Dropping off the blig planet

So yes, my blog has dropped off the planet.

Since my last enrty I've started another gig / job. In September I went to Toronto and went to yo-yo boot camp. I spent the week practicing with a few guys learning a yo-yo show that we were to present to schools. The show is free for the school, has a "Practice make Perfect" message, and is plenty of fun. The company makes money by selling the yo-yo's in the school after the show. So it's cool.. i've been on salary for the first time ever.

It's been going well, but has been keeping me VERY busy. So now I'm doing yoyo shows in schools MOn-Fri, doing my own show on weekends, and running the agency. I have brought in some occassional help in the form of a neighbour who has some admin skills. Speaking of which I have to get her in more often.

So that's the short skinny.

More soon!
