    Rannie and I are at the R.C Harris Water Treatment Plant on Queen St. East in Toronto, aka, one of my new favourite places to be; it’s exactly like being in a real-life version of Myst.

    While we were filming some workers showed up and I pitched to get us inside, but they weren’t buying.  They said since 9/11 all tours have ceased.  And there’s a new guy running the place who is intent on bringing the property up to his high standards… apparently the brass inside is amazing, and all the windows that were once bricked over and slowly being replaced with bullet proof glass.

  • I’ve Been Editing This

    It’s footage from last week.  Above is a moment when we confess something, something we both do.  I’ve not decided if I’m gonna include it or not.

    On another note, I got new music today (ohhh, see what I did there).  

    Same place as last time: RoyaltyFreeMusic.com.  I downloaded a second set, like 10 songs, so fresh music; all 20 of my movies are set to the same 8 or 9 pieces.  I know what to do with “Exploring Cycling” now.

    On the left, I have the postcard version, too.  On the right the mouse on top of the mast is saying, “Canada is so beautiful”.  

  • I’m Into Plaid Lately

    And I’m trying something new in that area behind me you can’t see.  

    You know how there’s usually a vase of fresh flowers there (which I like to think also acts as proof of the show’s timeline), well I’m into little vases now, and a pot of lavender (top 3 smells of my life).  

    They’re Alstroemeria.  They’re the new carnations because they last for weeks.
