Q: How come you don't post as frequently as you used to?

A: Winter depression (mediated by Vitamins B, C and D, but still unmistakably present); BUSI 121, Foundations of Real Estate Mathematics (15-20 hours a week); and, just for giggles, the as-yet undiagnosed medical incident (mini-stroke or nerve damage, jury still out) that essentially paralyzed my typing/writing hand from Sunday through yesterday afternoon. Seriously: my handwriting, never your classic up-and-down cursive, degenerated into full-on Cy Twombly-meets-Morse-code scrawl. Dashes 'n curlicues!

And, while I'm in a bitter, ungenerous mood:

An Open Letter to Vancouver's Visual Artists, Especially Those Given to Repeatedly Visiting Me At Work

Hi, guys 'n gals. CJB here, possibly the only Canadian critic who doesn't have an office door that locks. If you're contemplating dropping by the bookstore simply to update me on your career, or conspicuous lack thereof, please think again. And if you're planning to ask me to write an (inevitably unpaid) review of your exhibition of ballpoint-pen drawings of birds; dumb-ass "process-based performance"; or staged photographs of dolls and Matchbox toys, beware: I just might.
