Influential Albums of My Life

.

"Influential" doesn't necessarily mean "favourite" or what I think is best. Nor does it mean that (for e.g.) I think I play guitar as well as or in the style of BB King. In many cases the album simply shaped my perception of what music (even mine) could be; it "gave me permission" to try a certain something I discovered in that album.

Influential Books of My Life

.

I was invited to post books that had an impact on my life. No explanations or reviews needed, but to do so is fine. Using book covers, 10 books in 10 days.

Actually it wasn't The Openness of God by Clark Pinnock. It was this other book by the same author:

And I suspect that the Bible has had some infuence on me as well.

Okay, it was more than 10, and it took more than 10 days!

Theatre Classes at Magnus: Apr. 21 - May 26/18

.

For six Saturday afternoons I took these classes, along with Jelena, Sheena, Jessica, Teri, and Kyara.

They were quite fun, informative, and stretching, and quite different from our Sunday night Cambrian improv sessions. There was much more emphasis on listening to our bodies (influenced by some Dance Improv Andrew had done). I think we barely spoke any words in any of our exercises for the first two weeks!
