Dear Fringe, Enough foreshadowing already!

Please, Fellow Viewers of Fringe, please tell me that you were far less than surprised when it was finally revealed that Walter Bishop had taken an alternate-universe Peter as a child to replace Peter from this world who died when he was a boy.

I haven't gotten to this point in the series yet, to this big "reveal". I've just finished watching "The Bishop Revival". No one has told me that this revelation will happen and I didn't read about it on some sci-fi blog, but Come on! you'd have to be six bucketfuls of dumb to miss this. Hints have been dropped--Thud. Thud! THUD!--by Walter and by other characters and through visual clues throughout the series. Forget about being destroyed by a collision with the other dimension... our world will just crack under the weight of all this foreshadowing.

Which leads me wonder... All these hints and two FBI investigators (one who doesn't miss a trick), and Peter (who has been shown to be super-observant) don't follow up? What the what?!

Still hooked on this damn show, though.

I [heart] Moleskine

Been investing a fair bit of time getting GTD up and running on a Moleskine. GTD isn't the most intuitive system but as I start to work with it I find it works a treat.

Anyone else out there managing their lives an a low-tech analogue format? I'd love to hear about your systems.

Great things about Toronto #1

Makes you proud to live here, dunnit? And nice to know that there's more to the theatre scene than Happy Days: The Musical.

Another riter

This also came in response to my ad for a writing partner:

Here is a sample of writing that I did for a small comedy plot:

You have one male host named Mr. Hockey, who loves all types of sports, but his favourite is HOCKEY!!!

You have one female hostess named Mrs. Artsiss Fartsiss, who loves art shows, gallery shows, anything and everything to do about art!!!

The tension between them is so think that you can cut it with a hockey stick if you get my drift, which you will find later in this segment!

Mr. Hockey goes to the Air Canada Centre for opening game of the Leafs and Canadiens. During the game he stops 5 fans that have their shirts off and all of them spell L-E-A-F-S. He asks them the History between the Leafs and Canadiens. One of them farts and tells Mr. Hockey the whole history. The fan has a spray can and wants to spray! and Mr. Hockey decides why not and joins the fans for the rest of the game.

Mrs. Artiss Fartisss just left a starving arts show; she farted by accident and her stomach making growling noises. I think that she was main painting in the whole show.

The tension between these people escalates because Mrs. Artiss Fartiss can find a 5 Star restaurant and was forced to eat at Lick's. She accidentally bumps into Mr. Hockey inside Lick's and both hit the floor and she glances at him while they are still on the floor. Her facial expression says it all because she is looking at the other Mr. Hockey it you get my drift.

They both get up and decide to have dinner together, and the saga continues! THE END!

Too bad I lost my English-UtterFuckingNonsense dictionary.

Oppertunity losed?

I've recently been trying to find a collaborator to work on some comedy sketches (one of my many passions). So I placed an ad around the web, on a few selected sites. This came in response:

"hey.... i do have a more dry whit... and python is something i enjoy.... but my favorite has to be kids in the hall... but something i have been doing or trying to lately has been what i like to call policing pop culture... things are getting out of hand and there are way to many stupid people with nothing to say but mics in there hand and for some reason people are blind to this idiocy ... so i have been writing things like ... for example do u rember the CLUB BANGER with the brilliant writing THIS IS WHY IM HOT .... brilliant... anyways i wrote a skit for a friend to wrap this is why im hot while running on a tredmile.... standing on a bech with his winter coat on in the sauna... things like that.... i have a couple friends that like to write and want to do some shit to so i dunno maybe we could colaberate"

So I wrote a short, polite note declining, and got this back within moments:

"wow that was short u asked for somone that was funny to write with not an editor .... your loss good look with making people laugh"

Maybe I should have taken him on. He sure made me laugh.
