Some photos from @odesa-company.bsky.social production of Steven King's "Misery" opening today at the Princess Avenue Theatre in St Thomas. I assisted with props and set decoration and love the 80s vibe. Photo credit: Ross Davidson. Directed by the Smalley Brothers. Set Design by Chris Smalley.

Carrie Fisher: β€œBut let's face it, the world of sex is weird no matter how you look at it. I mean-fourteen hours after you've had your face smashed into someone's genitals, you're walking down the street with the boy as though that were all just fine, thank you, how are you!”

My geeky patch vest that started with patches from costume clubs I joined and has evolved to represent numerous fandoms.

I really enjoyed this documentary about Mr Dressup, who hosted a children’s television program in Canada. I didn’t expect it to be so moving and informative. Definitely worth watching!

I hope everything works out okay. I had to wear a heart monitor for a few days. I remember the awkwardness of all the wires

Showing off this faux birthday cake I made for an upcoming production at Port Stanley Festival Theatre. It’s an 8” styrofoam form covered in drywall spackle and painted with acrylic paint. The candles are bamboo skewers with paper straws on top. I made the dripping wax with hot glue.
