i'm still doing other things besides writing here. work is fine. non-work is fine as well. i'm still working on my second answering machine message compilation, in a race to get it done for the october 27th edition of the canzine fair.

i cross-posted this to film_stills, where i hope to win the award for maximum amount of screencaps (202) and least amount of ( Read more... )

so the toronto international film festival starts this week. you're probably thinking i'm going to list a whole bunch of stuff i've seen. well not really. i never got around to writing about what i saw last year (about 10 films). there's also some from the year before i never got around to mentioning (about 20). now i wish i did write about them ( Read more... )

i'm still here every day for an hour so, reading my f-list while i eat breakfast or lunch, but i still can't get motivated enough to write as much as i used to. work has been busy, and on my days off i'm doing other things or nothing really. i walk around the neighbourhood, checking out areas i've never been to. i've been to some fantastic places, ( Read more... )

i caught a lot at images and hot docs. these are now my favourite local festivals. experimental and documentary ( Read more... )

in the last few weeks i've gone to the following:

peter greenaway lecture
march 26i didn't hear about this until a week before the date; then i tried to get tickets but it was already sold out; then greenaway has film obligations elsewhere and it gets cancelled. that's too bad, as i was going to do my peter greenaway impression before and after ( Read more... )

i updated my myspace account. i'm surprised that non-bands actually still use it - i've noticed even some lj friends use it more often than lj. it does look better now, very facebook influenced. it never has crashed my computer ( Read more... )
