Visiting the US is always a strange experience for me. Being Canadian we don’t encounter things like announcments about terror alert levels, we don’t have aggressive looking helicopters flying around overhead, we also don’t have as much American media as I thought we did. There’s always a lot of concern in Canada about US media flooding through Canadian TV but that’s really not the case. While a lot of content is created in the US or is influenced by those here the networks in Canada do a great job of filtering and mixing it with native content.

TIME!

Got back yesterday evening from Harvest 2007 in Peterborough. I played with Grandma’s Special Recipe and we edged out the local A team (Old Skule) for first place in the finals. Quite a bit of fun! Our tournament record was 7-0 with two 11-1 and one 11-0 game (final was 15-9).

Kicking back watching “30 Rock” with G and Lenny…good times!

So…TIFF is now done until September next year. Sigh…was kind of enjoying watching many good films each day.

Jon posted his list with his ranking so it only seems fair that I do mine. "No Country for Old Men" "Lars and the Real Girl" "Juno" "Heavy Metal in Baghdad" "SUKIYAKI WESTERN DJANGO" "The Mosquito Problem and Other Stories" "Control" "Chrysalis" "Margot at the Wedding" Yes they are ranked and they’re all good movies that are worth checking out. This list will be updated to add more movies as I see them.

Congrats on seven years of fully successful blagging!

So…just got back from Control and Heavy Metal in Baghdad. Very interesting but also very tired now so please expect an update on this post during the day on Sunday. Both are good films and very interesting.

Another one of those times when a really good ad comes along and bites you when you’re least expecting it. Watch A Glass and a Half’s first ad.
