Gil
Hi Dustin!

Can we add Gil's blog back to the blog list? I hear he is writing there again and i just thought it would be nice to have him with all the other friends up there.

Alternatively, can someone post his blog address here? I can't remember it immediately ...Gilsomething...somethingBrowdy... ah I can't remember that sort of thing!

Radio Free Québec
Good news! The Gouvernement has agreed to increase its funding of TVQ Television and to create a new public radio service, Radio Free Québec. With its new budget and staff, we hope to greatly increase our current broadcast schedule.*

Here is a clip from Radio Free Québec's coverage of the Québec election.

Both radio and TV services can be accessed at radiofreequebec.com

Some parting thoughts
When Pakistan was partitioned from India on the basis of religion (Hindu vs. Muslim), both countries were given little enclaves in the other country where "their" people lived. Some of those enclaves themselves have enclaves, so that to walk a kilometre would mean crossing two, three, or even eight international borders.

The Click Song
Miriam Makeba died today. She was a terrific South African folk singer in the 60s, with hits such as "Click Song" and Pata Pata:



and as cheesy as Paul Simon can be, this is a pretty moving rendition of Nkosi Sikeleli Africa with Miriam Makeba and Ladysmith Black Mombaso:

Nostalgia for Nosamours
Ah, remember the good old days? When Celine Dion was happy to get the anthem singing gig at an Expos game in an unfinished Olympic Stadium?

Old School
I've convinced Emerson to let me run an "Improv For Writers" workshop, on the assumption that short story writers in particular can benefit from doing the sort of character- and plot-work that improv scenes require. I'm doing a pilot version over the next two Sundays, with the hope that I can expand it next semester if it goes well.

My goal is two spend the first week (two hours) getting people broken into improv basics, and the second week (three hours) focusing more on stuff like the aforementioned character and plot.

So, since this ostensibly started as a blog about improv, does anyone have any suggestions on good exercises for complete beginners?

So malicious
Wikitravel is one of my favourite travel and tourism websites, especially while in Europe. It's a great way to get tips to make your holiday more relaxing or daytrip more fun. I just checked out its entry on Mogadishu; well worth the read for its entertainment value.

Time To Call It, Bryan
So who's it going to be? Buster McMarxist or Methuselah Jones?

I am going to continue with my gloomy appraisal of how progressive US voters actually are, and say:

Obama 266
McCain 272

Which gives Obama most of the battleground states (including, very charitably I think, Nevada, Colorado, and Ohio), but leaves Pennsylvania and Florida swinging to McCain and pushing him over the edge.

To quote Sideshow Bob: "Your guilty conscience may move you to vote Democratic, but deep down you long for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals, and rule you like a king."
