  • Exploring the CNE

    Oh yes let’s go to The Ex.  It’s Canada’s largest annual fair and the 4th largest in North America; 1.3 million people attend each year.

    I’ve always wanted to work at a fair, in one of the game booths yelling at passerbys.  I think that during my cross-country trip I’ll be able to make that dream come alive.september 1 2008

  • I Dreamed About this Place


    I dream a LOT.  In colour.  Flying around.  Different languages.   Sets of recurring ones.  And as I passed this bar a very vivid dream from about 4 years ago came flooding back.  Then I peeked inside ‘The Reservoir Lounge‘.  

    I don’t know what it all means, but one day I’m gonna throw myself a party and I think I’ll have it here. august 29 2008

  • This is the Best Thing For Sale I Saw


    Wandered around the St. Lawrence Market.  For 205! years it’s been selling fresh food and things, and there’s even a guy there that offers 30+ different kinds of honey.  

    It’s also the site of Toronto’s first ever City Hall, 1845-99.august 29 2008

  • Then a CBC Lunch

    This is the best day. 

    One of my bosses took me to lunch at Terroni.  Lots of jokes and a great debate about altering reality with your mind.

    Afterward we went for walk down Queen Street and stopped to watch the filming of ‘Flashpoint‘.  My nose was all wrinkled up and I said, “Ugh, why would you even want all that stuff and people?  Look, everything for my show is here in my purse!”.

    Then he wanted to check out the guitars at Steve’s, so in we went and on he rocked.august 26 2008  

  • Morning Coffee with Discovery Channel

    We met at the Starbucks on Queen and John.  Jon’s an Executive Producer and their head web-guy.  I told him my plans for my trip, my show and we told jokes.august 26 2008

    He also asked how I knew Alex, the guy who’d introduced us:

    Jon: Did you used to work together? Or through an industry event?
    Me: No, I met him at a party and took his money in poker.
