Europe 2009.

May 19, 2009

My anticipated French Riviera trip has changed a little- Sadly, the bf will not be joining me (*Tear). Suddenly, the idea of running in pretty lavender fields, in lovely little dresses doesn’t sound so appealing sans him. I’ve since customized my itinerary to me like things and cities. My sister happens to be in London during my European adventure, and so we’ve planned to spend a few days in London together.  Barcelona will follow, and then Nice, France. I can’t wait!

Comfy Tobermory.

May 18, 2009

I’ve just returned from a chilly May long weekend in Tobermory, Ontario. The bf and I joined our friends for a weekend of hiking, hot tubing and soaring-winds. Now I’ve got comfy clothes on the brain!

Drumroll Please.

May 14, 2009

… I am officially going to be in France from July 11th to the 26th- After some extensive e-ticket searches I have found a return ticket on Air Canada for $991 all inclusive. It’s depressing to think I could have done this trip for half the price five years ago! Nonetheless, I am beyond excited and have started my search for the perfect spots to experience life comme une vraie parisienne.

Drake: So Far Gone.

May 13, 2009

My roomie has introduced me to Drake (aka Aubrey Graham)- the fantastically unsigned artist that is minutes from a Hollywood blowout. And yes, if he looks familiar it’s because he plays Jimmy Brooks on  the cult favorite Degrassi series.

You can download his free album mixtape here.

Hot Docs 2009.

May 10, 2009

Tonight concludes the 2009 edition of the Hot Docs Festival in Toronto- which apparently happens to be the largest documentary festival in North America.

There were many to choose from, too many. These four are the ones I managed to squeeze in-

Winnebago Man; Directed by Ben Steinbauer.

*The above clip is the original Winnebago Man outtakes that went viral in 1989. Ben Steinbauer directed a feature length documentary on Jack Rebney, some twenty years after this was filmed.
