Holy smokes. I've been informed (against my will, I might add) that I've had this blog for ten years now. It's amazing to think back to where I was when I began. 2014 December 2014, Winchester, England. I was studying Creative Writing, hoping to someday work in publishing because that was the only thing I … Continue reading 10 Years of Precarious Writer: A Retrospective.
Touring Southern Alberta
Earlier this month, I returned to my home province of Alberta for my cousin's wedding and made it a whole 2-week trip. The last time I visited was for a funeral and the time before that was to get Skipper and make my move to Toronto official, so this was kind of my first time … Continue reading Touring Southern Alberta
I Moved To Toronto
It's one thing to be invited to the Canadian Film Centre (CFC), it's another thing to actually go. This is Part 2! Read the first post here: I Got Into An Acting Conservatory. When I was accepted into CFC, I had an apartment, a full-time job, and a chronically anxious chihuahua. Going to Toronto meant … Continue reading I Moved To Toronto
I Got Into An Acting Conservatory
Hello. It's been a while. I should probably update you and write about how completely my life has changed in a very short amount of time. I'll keep this as short as I can, but who are we kidding. I'm wordy. Back in May, I happened across an Instagram post on the CFC's (Canadian Film … Continue reading I Got Into An Acting Conservatory
An April Snowstorm
9am. No snow. Skipper goes out for her first pee of the day with no jacket. Success. I'm proud of us both. Noon. Maybe an inch wherever it isn't just melting. Skipper asks me to go out (a win), I notice (another win), and she pees outside while wearing a thin coat. There's enough snow … Continue reading An April Snowstorm
Recent Film Things
I wanted to call this "A Summary of Every Film-Related Thing Happening in My Life in the Last Six Months" because that's a more descriptive and enticing title, but it's a bit long. Similar to the quite-long title of a movie I'm in called "Events Transpiring Before, During, And After A High School Basketball Game" … Continue reading Recent Film Things
Calgary Stampede Vlog
The Calgary Stampede was cancelled this year due to covid-19 so I unearthed footage from the last time I went to the Stampede and edited it into a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6X-t2XBDqSA
Living
I had a bad day last week. The worst in a while, with a bunch of different not-fun things coming together all in that one day. And I discovered something amazing. Despite my best efforts and my repeated mentions of not wanting to get tied down to Calgary, in my so-called "darkest hour", I found … Continue reading Living
Autumn in Calgary
Today I had to break out the coat which in Winchester was my winter coat but here in Calgary is just an early autumn coat. School is starting for everyone again and in the morning I pass three other post-secondary institutions on the train before I get to mine. The summer as we know it … Continue reading Autumn in Calgary
Calgary Stampede!
So this is long overdue, but my dad took my siblings and me to the annual rodeo in town which you probably guessed from the title, is called the Calgary Stampede. If you've never heard of it, it happens in my hometown and goes for ten days every July. There are rides, games, and food … Continue reading Calgary Stampede!
