The Weekly Happy Intake

Hey! Check out my latest project. Click here now!

Lots of valleys as of late. So let’s focus on the things that make me peak.

This…

Because it makes meĀ  feel like summer, even though that feeling is fleeting these days.

Old people holding hands…

Never gets old.

Louise Burns!

She’s my Buddha babe.

This movie, which says a lot ’cause I have little patience for movies.

This song. It’s currently number one on my Top 25 most played on iTunes. That link is of a sexy, coked up version of the original.

Oh. And this person…That right there is my Jesus. I worship him. It’s his birthday today, so I took the day off to celebrate. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS JACOT! I’ll call you for the ninth time later!

We’ve arrived!

Here is Rape Whistle Fan Club’s debut! Well, the debut was actually on Friday as part of Music Waste’s video competition. Here’s a photo of us chatting with the judges…

…and a photo of the judges…

…all of whom I have a connection to. Here was our bit…Bob on the right, is my co-worker. Paul in the middle, I’ve made out with. And Taz on the end, I’ve slept with (because we used to date.) So we told them that if our video didn’t win, it means I’m a shitty worker, a bad kisser and a terrible lay. Like I said, we didn’t win. But we still had fun!

What else? Mother Lev is in town. Here’s a photo of her and my dog…

OH! I’ve launched my column, I’m a Good Story, as its own website. Click here and check back every Thursday for a new one! Also, send it to everyone you know. Even your weird neighbour!

Tomorrow I’m being flown to Toronto for this amazing press tour thing. I’m really excited. I’ll provide more details upon my return later this week. It’s going to be a busy few days. But I’m sooooo excited! You’ll understand why once I’ve filled you in…soon, soon.

Episode 18 – The Rain City Chronicles Experience


Click here to listen to episode 18 of the People’s Program Project.

One of the things I’ve been working hard on recently is a storytelling night called Rain City Chronicles. We had our first event on December 1st at Little Mountain Studios. It was a great success. We’ve got nothing but really positive feedback and it seems like the city is ready for this kind of thing. We plan on doing it every season so the next one should be in March. This special episode of P3 features stories by CBC Radio 3‘s Grant Lawrence, who talked about his first experience with a pacific octopus…


Rain City Chronicles co-organizer and freelancer writer Karen Pinchin, who talked about her first time getting in a car with a stranger…


Sex guy and Manhussy‘s Cam MacLeod, who talks about the first time he realized girls go crazy when you’ve had sex with them…


Talent Time‘s Paul Anthony, who talks about his first parentless road trip…

And me. I told a story about the first time I sang with Belle and Sebastian on stage…


Music is by Basil Waugh…


I’ll try to have the second half of the evening out in podcast format by next week. In the meantime, enjoy!

Episode One and a little spiel

To listen to episode one, click here.

Welcome to the temporary web home of the People’s Program Project. I’m going to be using this until my website, www.noneandonly.com, is ready to go.

For the majority of my adult life, I’ve been lucky enough to tell stories for a living. As a result, I’ve become obsessed with finding good ones. The People’s Program Project (or P3 for short) is my attempt to do that.

The plan is to start local. All the people in my life are talented, funny, articulate and great storytellers. So my storytelling vault is pretty much endless. But the plan is to eventually start hearing stories from outside my little world, to truly make this program project that of the people.

So on the first episode we have three stories (and a really long intro and extro.) They are:

A Small Band in a Large Amphitheatre

A few years ago my friend’s band was asked, seemingly out of nowhere, to spend a month opening for a ginormous band. I asked said friend, blind-item styles, about what it was like to tour with the biggest band in the world.

Never Been Caught Stealing

The story of a former retail manager who became obsessed with stealing from her own store.

Courage: Living Up to Her Name

The story of a recent reunion with my first baby.

There’s a lot of people who helped put this podcast together. They are:

Aaron Beckum – He’s the musical director of the show and all around very talented fellow. He’s also one of the founders of the Amazing Alphabet People’s Coalition. The podcast would be nothing without him.

Dave Shumka: A local comedian who hosts the consistently hilarious Stop Podcasting Yourself. Let’s call him the technical director, because he taught me everything I needed to know about podcasting. He’s a whiz.

Josh Wells and Amber Webber: Also known as Lightning Dust. They provided the sweet, beautiful theme song, Wind Me Up, with permission from their label Jagjaguwar.

Ben Frey: This mindblowingly talented artist designed the podcast’s logo. Good thing he owed me a favour. You can check out more of his stuff here.

Steve Pratt: He’s the director of CBC Radio 3 (which I used to freelance for) and a multimedia master who has been so generous with his time. If it wasn’t for his encouragement, I’d never have even thought about starting a podcast.

Thanks so much for your interest and stay tuned. Drop me a line at noneandonly@gmail.com and let me know what you think.
