O what a rogue and peasant slave am I

If you recognize the quote above, you’ll know what direction this entry is going to take. I’ve been called to drop into Toronto in two weeks for an audition. I need to have two monologues ready for this audition, which will be for a film adaptation of … Hamlet.

Game Of Thrones Exhibition in Toronto (1)


I had a great time in Toronto today. My friend Patrick and I left around 10am and spend most of the day in TO, the highlight of course being the ‘Game Of Thromes’ Exhibition at the Design Exchange which is on Bay Street in downtown Toronto. The exhibit wasn’t anything huge, but it was great none the less, and of course the best part was getting your picture on the Iron Throne, which was free! No charge for anything! I guess this is all just to promote Season 3 which starts in just over 2 weeks from now.

The weekend that was…

I’m going to start my weekend on Thursday, cause that’s were the fun stuff started for me. I had a date on Thursday night. I met someone for dinner and a movie. We went out to ‘East Side Marios’ for supper and afterwards we saw the movie ‘Silver Linings Playbook’, which was actually really good. Dinner was pretty awesome too, check out the killer pasta dish I had on Thursday:


That there is a ‘Baked Spinach & Ricotta Milanese’ which pretty awesome. It didn’t look like much when I got it but trust me, this was very filling and it was all I needed that night. Combined with a caesar salad and a coke zero, it was a killer meal. I hadn’t been to ‘East Side Marios’ in a while and it was pretty good.

Winter Is Coming…

We are only 38 days away from the premiere of season three of the HBO series ‘Game Of Thrones’ and I cannot wait to see it. A good friend of mine is just as exited, to the point where he emailed me this morning with an idea I didn’t think of. He jumped online early this morning to make sure he scored tickets for an event coming to Toronto. Tickets are free, but there are only a limited amount to make sure there is no over crowding and that people can breath when visiting th exhibit. So my buddy went on line last night and snapped up some tickets for us both to attend this event on March 15th:

R.A. Dickey: The Baffler Arrives In Toronto


There was a portion of R.A. Dickey’s book that that I found very amusing. In ‘Wherever I wind up’, Dickey describes a situation where he’s taking a sub to the stadium in Washington to start against the Nationals for the Mets. On the subway moving towards the stadium were countless Nationals fans, unaware they were riding with the guy who was going to take on their team later that day. Dickey describes how he sat there pretending to read a book while listening to the fans talk about him and what they expected to see. One comment he thought was fun was that the paper referred to him as ‘the baffler’ because of the pitch he uses to baffle hitters into striking out, the most underrated pitch in all of baseball.
