Confession

I have a confession, I rather enjoy kids movies.  Actually, the last several movies that I saw in the theater can be termed as movies that kids would enjoy, and be allowed to see.

When I heard that Zachary Levi of Chuck stardom was voicing the male lead in Tangled, I had a desire to go and see it.  When I heard that the movie was empowering for girls and well told, I really wanted to see it.  However, as it my wont, it took me two months to get around to going to a movie theater and seeing the movie.

But then I was told that a birthday child loved Rapunzel.  Finally, I had an excuse to see the movie and I called it research.  $4.00, second run movie theater, very important research.  And it's very proven vital that I did this research.  How else would I know that Rapunzel had flowers in her hair when braided or that frying pans are incredibly versatile weapons?

Today I have a party and I'm bringing this as a special gift for the birthday girl:


Research is important.

It feels as though I've found my voice again, but I know I need to refine it's timbre and tone. Of late I've been writing draft after draft after draft of snippets of ideas and thoughts that warrant more exploration. Today, I decideed to challenge myself to go out into the world and just write a few words about what I saw. It's been something I've struggled with all weekend, which I think is part of my own deep uneasiness about society and the state of politics in the world today. Ahem...that can get me down another tangent. Today was the last day before I head back to work tomorrow and I needed to get on my bike and just experiece my city. I didn't want to push myself or get in a workout, I just wanted to see. I pumped up my tires and hit the streets. I meandered past a garage sale where a LuluLarue consultant was making one last push to get rid of product. I saw gardens and cats on porches. I geared down and climbed up hills and ended up at Wapato Park. You co

It's not often field which I am the target market. But I think this device was made for me: This  Bicycle powered Air Compressor . <iframe width="372" height="239" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/k8sWYX3-jx8" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> Now, I don't know how to build this, but I'm gosh darn it, I'm going to figure out how. If you or anyone you know can point me in a direction or help me to build this, I'd appreciate it. Or if you know of an even better option to create a pump to integrate in with a bike, that would be great as well.

Solo Performance Workshop

I've had the privilege for the last several weeks to get to participate in a Solo Performance workshop. I knew right away that when I first met Michelle Matlock that I wanted to learn from her.  Michelle runs  Circle Up Productions , an a new venture here in  the South Sound. Circle Up does a little bit of everything in the event world. Basically put, she can make every event incredible. With a background in theater, clowning and circus arts, Michelle has performed all over the world. However, her roots are here in the Northwest, and she has opened up Circle Up to share her knowledge and skills to help Tacoma truly become the city of Destiny. Last week I joined Michelle for a sneak preview of the Venardos Circus and again affirmed that I struggle with juggling. Tonight we had our first exhibit of the projects we have been working on. My performance was a bit off the cuff, but it was just a joy to hear the projects developed by the other participants. I was exciting to perform again
