Tasting Toronto

Took this photo at brunch with Parki and Jeff, at a
GREAT restaurant called 3's Company Cafe.
I had the raspberry cream cheese French toast. :-)


My MovableType woes are nearly sorted out, though I'm still tweaking templates and also need to start implementing some of the useful features available in the new version. Finished restoring the bulk of Inkygirl yesterday.

Yesterday I also dropped by the Goethe Institut for language practice material, including a German movie called Das Versprechen ("The Promise"), with English subtitles. Love this library! Also borrowed a video about Vienna in preparation for our trip in a few weeks, when we're renting a small castle near the city with a group of friends. Looks like we won't be going to Berlin after all, by the way; we're postponing that trip for another time.

The Annual Taste of Toronto Entertainment District starts tomorrow, woohoo! Samplings ($1-$5) from restaurants in the area plus live entertainment, all within a few minutes' walk away from our building. I love this sort of thing.

Also, the Toronto Film Festival starts tonight! Being Julia premieres across the street this evening. These galas are usually attended by some of the film cast, especially the main stars. Cast of tonight's movie: Annette Bening, Jeremy Irons, Bruce Greenwood, Shaun Evans, Lucy Punch, Miriam Margolyes, Juliet Stevenson, Tom Sturridge, Maury Chaykin, Sheila McCarthy, Rosemary Harris, Michael Gambon.

No Sean Bean or Kevin Spacey, sadly, so I don't have huge incentive to join the crowd outside for a glimpse, but I might poke my head out the window for a look.

Hey, my friend Craig has been featured in an amusing cartoon for a Toronto Star article that appears today, about the Toronto Filmfest! Check out Section C, A&E. You can see a small version on this page. And be sure to check out Craig's Toronto FilmFest News/Reviews.
