About Me
|
I was raised in Regina starting about 3 months of age, so I'm a product of Alberta but I was refined in Saskatchewan! Been other places, but nothing can match a prairie sky. There are a lot of fine people in this province! Big Hearts! Big Smiles!

Interests
|
***HUMOUR: I think every damn thing is funny. Except, you know, the stuff that can't possibly be funny. But even some of the darker stuff can cause me to make a cynical sort of snorting sound, sort of an evil chortle. ***
***BLOGGING: Isn't it obvious?***
***HOUSE and GARDEN: We got a house, a BBQ, and a garden. Nice start... Now we just need a garage sale and a mass annual summer BBQ again!***

Favorite Music
Too hard to pick!

Favorite Music Video
Meh, I used to like videos when it was a newer medium. Don't get me wrong, I'll catch a new video now and again. Nowadays I prefer to **listen** to tunes while I do housework/yardwork, drive, draw, read, party, etc: just sitting around watching a music video kind of defeats the purpose for me. And sometimes the video totally wrecks the tune, in my humble opinion.

Favorite Movies
V for Vendetta, Spirited Away, Matilda, Ever After, Shrek, Hellboy, Ice Age, The Usual Suspects, Bridge to Taribithia, Little Miss Sunshine, Hero, James and the Giant Peach, Kungfu Hustle, Gladiator, Troy, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Piano, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, Serenity, Kill Bill, Hulk, Spiderman, Superman movies + Superman Returns, Batman Begins, Star Wars (Originals are still my faves), Star Trek Movies, Lost in Translation, Clint Eastwood Movies, Mad Max, pretty much any movie with Harrison Ford, ditto for Tom Hanks, etc
|
Favorite TV Shows
Heroes, House, Survivor, Most Haunted, pretty much anything on the Comedy Network, MuchMoreMusic & those types of channels. HOORAY FOR ANIMAL PLANET!!

THE REGINA FRINGE FESTIVAL from July 2- 8 Here is the link: http://www.reginafringe.com/ It sounds like FUN! I hear this is one of the best shows: Extra Lars Productions ‘Word of Mouth is Killing Us’ Unitarian CentreFriday, July 3rd @ 8:00pmSaturday, July4th @ 7:15pmSunday, July 5th @ 5:00pmMonday, July 6th @ 8:00pmTuesday, July 7th @ 8:45pm Despite resounding indifference, the comedians of ‘Stand Up Stands Out’ (Edmonton Fringe Festival 2007) are in Regina in 2009. ‘Word of Mouth is Killing Us’ will prove once again that stand up comedy is an unwelcome addition to any Fringe Festival. Expecting audience members who couldn’t’ get tickets to anything else, Lars, Sean and Andrew look forward to hearing the sound of no hands clapping. Don’t tell your friends! ‘Word of Mouth is Killing Us’. Lars has opened for the likes of Mitch Fatel, Kevin Pollack and Aries Spears. Has shared the stage with Russell Peters and Mike MacDonald (he's good at sharing). Ed magazine named Lars, "One of the top ten comedians to watch...if you're already at a show...and he's on it." http://www.extralars.ca/index.html
