Lime pickle experiment number one.
Closing night of the record-setting 2025 Calgary Underground Film Festival saw an Eli Craig double-header, and it was the perfect pairing featuring the sold-out Canadian premiere of Clown in a Cornfield.

You dine, maybe you die — that’s the tagline for Vertigo Theatre’s current offering, A Killing at La Cucina. But this lackluster affair is a lot like avantguard fare. It leaves you questioning if you ate at all.

This week The Monkey hits the big screen. Thanks to the Calgary Underground Film Festival, I got a chance to see it a few days early, and I gotta tell you, it's one of the best films I've seen in a while.
Funny, dark, gory, it's definitely worth a watch. So many laughs. So many cringes.

Today's shitty little mental health walk was longer than normal as I was trying to take advantage of the warmth. It also meant it was blustry.

Question. Has anyone had any dealings with blueskycalgary.com?
They reached out looking for link backs, but when I dug, their about page seems super suspect. I asked for links for their "featured on" section, and they couldn't provide them. 🤔

Today's shitty mental health walk brought pigeons exploring if a new build is in their budget, painted rocks scattered throughout the park, some old cars, and lots, and lots of ice.

Gonna start doing daily shitty little mental health walks — or at least try to. I have made a coffee, and I am off for a wander!

It's incredibly unreal being in the UK this week.
So removed yet so many feels.
But today was a coffee and wander day kind of day.

So, the high school I graduated from is fundraising to do theatre improvements.
Those seats were uncomfortable in the early 2000s, I can't image how bad they are now! Donate if you can.
