Day interrupted

Off

Got to hang out at the gelato place on King St. Ate a veggie panini and had some coffee. Amazed that on such a nice (freezing cold) sunny day, there weren’t any customers. The staff talked about closing up early. I know, why would any one go to a place that sells gelato when it’s -20C outside…. Apparently Saturday (what with the big snowstorm) was a busy day for them. Go figure
Later, we went to see the Cannes advertising festival at the Princess. Stupid thing was on a DVD, and their player kept skipping, and dropping out completely, leaving a full house with uncomfortable 20 second moments of silence and blackness. We didn’t even get to see the Grand Prix ad, and the DVD failed completely at that point. The audience began to filter out, grumbling, but we stayed to confront the Princess staff. Apparently no one else (out of a full theatre) mentioned anything to the staff. Typical Canadians… not that we were much better — we didn’t demand a refund or anything.
Just kicking back right now, wating for 9pm. Going to head out to the Moody Blues Café with C. R bailed on us and is taking in some bedtime reading.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
