I can't help but notice the swell of renewed energy in January as everyone, refreshed or perhaps relieved at the end of the holidays, returns to their work.
My calendar beckoned me to fill it up and so I've been busy emailing contacts, finding shows and creating shows, and the good news is, it's working!
I now have shows right up until April in the works, and an invitation to take part in a cabaret-style Fringe show in July.
It feels like a cycle sometimes of creating the opportunity, then doing the work, then seeing what other opportunity that work will open up for you. I'm trying to ignore those little voices .. the doubts and fears... so I can leave more room for my own voice.
One of my favourite moments of the year so far was listening to all the excellent readings at the Yellow Dog Tavern, at a new show created by Cathy Herbert. She had the idea to start a night of comedy writings read aloud, and the next night she has booked is February 8th, again at the Yellow Dog, the name of the show being, ' Comedy on Paper'. Definitely go check it out!

Knit 1, Purl 1, H1N1
I've been sick for a week now, but a functional kind of sick, not flat-on-my-back sick. I think it's just a head cold, and I didn't bother to see a doctor.
I've taken just about every remedy that purports to shorten the lifespan of a cold virus but the cold still lasted a week, and it feels like it's on its way out.
I've been hacking like a pack-a-day smoker and when I lie down my breathing sounds a little like a crackling campfire, but this is all mostly in my sinuses. I think if it were in my lungs I'd be a lot more tired, and there's been no significant fever. Of course, I haven't bothered to take my temperature, but I am of the opinion that if you are very sick, you know it, and I am just not that sick.
Everyone freaking out over H1N1 makes me realize that people are finally starting to get over 9/11 and clearly have found a new cause. When did the general public become so paranoid about what their government is up to? Most of the time Canadians don't even muster up the energy to go out and vote, so why do they all of a sudden want to know the real true backstory of the H1N1 vaccine?
Here's my advice: Don't get all your information from YouTube. Read a book. Go outdoors.
Quit your whining and get a university degree for crying out loud. Become a critical thinker. Listen more and talk less.
Pass the Kleenex.
