  • Toronto’s New Crosswalk

    september 2 2008
    Started last week at Yonge and Dundas, this is the cities first “scramble intersection”.  You have 28 seconds to cross any-which-way you like when the little man lights up and this awful voice tells you to get moving.

    It’s like that giant one in Tokyo you’ve seen in the movies a million times.  It’s wonderfully efficient.

  • 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
