Butterscotch December 26th


SO Hasbro made this near-life-size fuzzy animatronic pony that all the little girls are coveting. I'm waiting for the landfill photos. It is inevitable they will start popping up. This is my rendition/premonition.

A Moment of Silence



A moment please
to honour the passing of the Godfather of Soul.

He has been hugely influencial in the development of my performance. When we were asked to prepare a lip-syncing performance in our solo performance class at the National High School Institute at Northwestern (performance performance performance), I chose James Brown's "I'll Go Crazy" (by the by, the teacher said I did a fairly good rendition of a large black man, being a skinny white girl) That's where it all began. He was also the first artist to incite me to ask the question "Does an artist need to be a model citizen?". In his case, I love him in spite of his shinanigans. He gives plenty to the betterment of society in his music. (Brittany Spears might be another case) Perhaps it's due time I should tackle that tribute I've been wanting to do...

RIP, James.

The Sounds of Lil



The recording of sounds effects for Creation with Noah Blumenson-Cook has begun.
The creation and recording of music by Hari and Trucci for Distraction continues.
The creation of the music for Creation by Val Thompson begins.

Fiercely excited on all fronts.

And Pope and I will continue forging ahead until the holidays become too formidable a power to battle, in which case we'll pick it back up in the wees of January.

The finish draws near...
