Hey! It’s 2am! And I am AWAKE. Rockin’.<\/p>\n
I promised that I would not not not rave about ROTK, but let’s just say that it did not suck. I would, uh, recommend that you go see it. As soon as possible.<\/p>\n
In other news, I just got drunk at the Bishop in front of Mark Askwith<\/a> and I think, made a complete ass of myself. Go me! Nothing says obnoxious like playing CanLit name dropping with someone who used to work at Coach House Press and currently has his own show on Space. <\/p>\n It’s funny; in the world of comics, he can smash me to pieces (this is a guy who gets to proofread Neil Gaiman), but in Canadian authors I was actually holding back out of respect. I didn’t even TELL him the hilarious story of my first meeting with Al Purdy, bless his soul. And that was pure gold. Or my ridiculous dislike of Evan Solomon, after his uncalled-for signature inside my copy of “Crossing the Distance”. *Or* my Christmas jam with Rohinton Mistry and his wife at Appleby College. Cool that we both know Andre Alexis, though. I didn’t even know Mark was an Ottawa homeboy.<\/p>\n Must stop the name dropping. It’s like a disease!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey! It’s 2am! And I am AWAKE. Rockin’.
