Taking deep breaths is my new thing. I do it all the time. If I’m feeling like I want to steal a second for myself, I just pause and take in a deep breath. That moment you hold in your lungs, the one that slows is all down, and then that feeling of release, that’s what making these podcasts feels like to me. It’s a second where I feel like I get it. And then it’s on to the next one.

I’m not afraid of flying. Never have been. If anything, I’m too fearless about flying. The idea makes me over-confident. When I walk onto a plane, I head straight towards the cockpit. “Pilot School? What’s that?” I’ll say, “I’m in 13B. Why don’t you head back there and take it easy. First drink’s on me. I’ll make sure we get to Dawson City, sure and steady.” And of course, instead of a pilot’s message to passengers, we’d play this podcast.

FINAL CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: TORONTO STRIP SHOW
We’re kicking off this year’s festival with a kick ass art show and we TOTALLY NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
Opening May 1st, “TCAF presents the TORONTO STRIP SHOW” is a month-long gallery show and fundraiser hosted by the Steamwhistle Gallery featuring a decades’ worth of TCAF talent. Any artist who has exhibited at TCAF in our 10-year history is encouraged to participate. TCAF doesn’t fundraise often, so we’d appreciate if you’d help us out this one time.
The thematic link for the show can loosely be described as “Toronto / Comic / Arts / Festival”. We don’t want to limit your creativity as you interpret the festival, the city, and the medium, so interpret that as you will. Of course, we love comics, and submitted works that make use of the medium will be appreciated.The deadline for submissions is April 22nd and must be delivered to The Beguiling Books and Art. For full details and to let us know if you want to participate, please email miles@torontocomics.com.(Feel free to reblog this too ;)
wheelr.tumblr: Why I Write an AudioBook -
I write Valentin & The Widow, a 1920s pulp adventure serial in which a feisty young English widow and her burly gay Russian valet travel around the world dismantling her late husband’s evil and oppressive secret society. (Find it on iTunes, RSS, Tumblr.) It’s big, plotty, proudly…
Barring any last minute evidence, I think it’s safe to say that my imagination never left the realm of the possible. To this day, most of the time that I’ve spent spaced out was time spent theorizing conversations with people the people in my life, in places I’d been before, doing things that were reasonably within the real of possibility. Now, please don’t think about this as me having a boring mind. Clearly. What seems more likely is the idea that I’m really just trying to do everything right, and I could use the practice.

“I enjoy the variations that can come with having a tape and listening to it in different machines. The idea that music should always sound the same, that once something is recorded, that’s it, that’s the be all and end all of that recording and it will never sound different – that’s kind of boring to me,” — The Ontarion - Cassettestival 3: Cassette culture revival
