Weekly Update: Superbowl Sunday
It’s Superbowl Sunday, but I’m more than happy to be in my office here at UW working on papers and event materials. I can get all the football updates I want from Twitter, after all. I’ve got a few exciting things to talk about this week, the most exciting of which is that we have a new sponsor for Canvas and Candlelight. In addition to being entered into a draw for Day Draws to a Close, generously donated by Nik Harron, every package purchased nets you a ticket into a separate draw for a hand made cedar planter from Great Saunas. That means that even if you win a planter, you can still win the painting! Come out to THEMUSEUM on Valentine’s Day, have a great time, and support community art programs like Homer Watson House’s Art in Focus. A ticket for two to the whole event is just $50, so get yours now! (more…)

Community and Changes
There’s going to be some changes around here in the next few weeks. I’m going to dust, polish up the pages, and get the lead out. And mix metaphors to great effect. Grad school is coming along swimmingly, but I’m not going to be here forever. I’ve realized that it’s high time to start looking for some gainful employment if I want to remain in a position where I can give back and participate in my community. If you, or anyone you know in the Kitchener Waterloo area is looking for someone with excellent writing, communication, critical thinking, and counterfactual skills, drop me a line at jim@realpeoplestuff.com. I’m going to update the site over the next while to reflect that, and I’m looking forward to it. I’m also going to start doing weekly updates, both about what I’m doing professionally, and interesting things going on in the city. I want to share these with you, and it will also make sure that I’m constantly pushing myself to participate. (more…)

Movember Finale
So it’s the last day of Movember, and here we are. I’ve done pretty well, considering that it’s my first time, and I’m already alight with ideas about how to do better next year. Jodi won the bidding on my moustache, and opted to keep it just the way it was. I’ve been busy with papers and events, so I haven’t managed an update every day, but I have been taking pictures and appearing around town, so here’s a places I’ve been and people I’ve been with.

Movember 16th
Halfway through, and I'm now looking like a badass biker. Okay, that's probably not true. But it's coming along. Tonight I'm off to McCabe's with the rest of my Movember team for their MoCabe's Movember tweetup. I've raised $45 dollars so far, which is more than I've ever raised before. My goal is $200, so I'm almost a quarter of the way there, though it's halfway through the month. So I want to up the ante a bit. My handlebars are coming along, but I'm not growing them for me, I'm growing them for you, so really, I should be…
