I saw this man yesterday, we made eye contact and smiled and I could no longer string together sentences.
I saw Jay Baruchel's new movie last night, it was pretty great. I went with my friend Kevin so I had hot jungle fever next to me and hot jewish love on the screen. Ideal.
So here is the list of celebrities I've seen so far (in order of importance to me)...
Daniel Bruhl (above)
Jay Baruchel
Dylan Moran
Ed Harris
Samantha Bee
Jason Jones
Evangeline Lily
Gil Bellows (Billy from Ally McBeal!!)
Various minor Canadian "celebrities"...

I really like Yeasayer right now. Some of their lyrics are so positive and uplifting.
I have no updates on outfits as I have worn jeans and tshirts every day of the festival. Although I am slowly converting my colour scheme into purely black, white, grey and denim. Its awesome.

Everything all at the same time.

Here are some things going on in my life.
This thing is going to kill me...
But on the same note, this man (Cameron Bailey, Co-director of TIFFG) is my new idol.
This book is intense and confusing but extremely enjoyable. Its slowly taking over my soul...
I swam in the lake on Monday, this isn't it but you know, variation on a theme.
My friend Lily "enjoying" a beer on her birthday (ie. Tuesday night).
And here is me enjoying the rosiness of my cheeks after purchasing Posietint (see previous post about trip to Sephora).

And because I am still so in love with this girl...

Lykke Li - I'm Good, I'm Gone. I watch this at least once a day...

I am on the brink of the most intense month of my life and I am terrified and so excited all at the same time. Oh yeah, I waited in line for 2 hours for TIFF tickets only to find out all the films I wanted to see where sold out... At least I will spend 2 hours in the same cinema as Jay Baruchel! And tonight I visited Mexico, it was awesome.

We got the house!

Hello, italian mansion. I am moving in over the weekend after we sign the papers on Friday so I will be internetless until sometime next week, I guess. 

I'm going to try and take photos progressively while things get set up so you feel like part of the action ;)

Only 3 weeks til you can come around for dinner parties and gin!

Stuff, you know.

Although Thomas, Larissa and I have not found our perfect home yet, I am already looking up inspiration for it. See below.

Also I am thinking about cutting my hair like this. 

Agree/disagree?

I think I'm a little bit in love with you...

I have a girl crush on Lykke Li. I want to be her when I grow up, even though I'm two years older than her...
In other news, I haven't been home before 3am the past three nights which has resulted in having about 12 hours sleep since I awoke on Thursday morning. My nights have been full of drinking, dance parties and boys. I enjoy my current carefree lifestyle.
Today was my last day at H&M, it was pretty anti-climatic. I worked harder than I ever had but I got to spend the afternoon with some of my favourite coworkers. It wasn't such a sad time because I will see most of the people I really like before I leave the country but yeah.
I feel a little lost tonight...

blogger hates me today :(

Hello darling,

Sorry I haven't been updating. It's been five weeks since I had a day off and I have five weeks to go, it's easy to get caught up in other things. 

Prac is going okay and I really love working at my two other jobs. I am really excited about the festivals and exhibitions we have coming up! One of my favourite parts of this story is that you will be home for their openings, we can drink wine and be civilized together.

I saw this band on Sunday and they completely blew my mind, listen to the 2008 album 'Devotion' by Beach House and feel like summer.

I promised I'd show you so...

This is my new crinoline! I'm wearing it under a vintage chiffon skirt, it's the only garment I own that covers the thing properly. I think I will have to find some dresses and skirts with mega a-lines to make it more versatile.

Other than that, I'm going out to dinner with about ten friends on Thursday for my birthday. I hope that you can call me during the day sometime! I will make time for it, I promise!

I did my sister's tax return and she's getting a ton of cash back, so I think she will buy me a bike for my birthday. Hopefully Larissa, Thomas and I find a house soon so I can start riding around... oh yeah, Larissa, Thomas and I are looking for a house together. 

Here is a picture of my bookcase and the new lights I bought on Saturday.

I don't know but I've been told.

On Friday night after work I went to see Handsome Furs who I love so so much. They are by far my favourite rock and roll couple. And the crowds at their shows are so amazing, I have never heard so much cheering and appreciation for a band before. This is a video that I really like, I really like the La Blogotheque Take Away Show series of videos too, they're all pretty amazing...

Sorry for all the videos but I have been spending a lot of time on youtube lately... Its up there on my list of favourite at home past times, along with painting my fingernails while watching The Daily Show and The Colbert Report and laying in the sun and reading on my patio.
Today I am going to hit up Sephora and purchase some new skincare and make up products. I also need to buy another suitcase. I have started packing up my life here in Canada, it is scary and sad but also really exciting because I kinda want to go home now. Don't tell anyone here that though...
I also went to see Vicky Christina Barcelona last week, it made me want to make decisions that probably aren't the best and fall in love with inappropriate people. It also made me want to go to Spain...

The weekend that just passed will go down as one of the greatest in my time in Canada. Friday night, seeing Radiohead, magic! Then hanging out with Americans, awesome! Saturday night involved alot of drinking with my favourite Canadians in celebration of Ben's birthday. He also told us that his wife is pregnant which is some of the best news ever!!! It was just a wonderful weekend.

I also had my festival training last weekend and it totally freaked me out. I think if I can get through working at one of the biggest film festivals in the world, I can pretty much do anything... The films that are playing were announced earlier this week and my top picks for what I want to see would be:
1. Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (Michael Cera <3 Watch the trailer!!)
2. New York, I Love You (a New York version of Paris Je'Taime)
3. Zack and Miri Make a Porno
4. Che (if I have a spare 5 hours...)
I get a lot of free tickets so I should be able to see most of them. They also released a list of about 500 celebrities that are coming to town including Brad Pitt and George Clooney, but I'm more excited about the prospect of seeing Michael Cera, Jay Baruchel, Gael Garcia Benal and Adrien Brody. Swoon City!

Last night, me, Lily and Lily's friend Tom broke into a pool at 2am and went swimming. It was pretty awesome.

Everythings on my mind.

I have this incredible urge to go out dancing this weekend. My weekend is going to be EPIC. My last two days have ended up being so fantastic, full of great times with amazing friends and lots of drinking. Tonight I am seeing Radiohead and I'm so excited I can't explain it. Anyway, this is what Canada looks like today from the point of view of my patio.

This is what I want my life to look like.

And this is how I feel sometimes.

I really love this video. The song is so funny and wrong and all the girls are so nicely dressed and The Teenagers are cute so yeah. The End.

Stop raining Canada!

So my apparent Canadian summer has been taken over by bad weather. It has been raining so much here its retarded. My Saturday at Beer Fest looked a little bit like Glastonbury...

But none of us were smart enough to wear suitable footwear :( My life right now is full of limited amounts of sleep and copious amounts of partying. I only have a month left in this wonderful country so I'm making the most of it. For example, tonight I am crashing a fancy party at Kania's work, its on a roof top in the middle of Toronto, there might be a magician there, and lots of free alcohol. Tomorrow is Radiohead which I am way too excited about. And the weekend will bring the first of my TIFF training sessions.
Speaking of TIFF, one of the perks of being an employee is the free press screenings I get to go to before the festival starts. They screen a whole pile of the films that are showing for the festival for critics so they can review them early and we get to go to them too! I'm so excited about all of TIFF but I'm so nervous as well, its going to be really full on. And its also so close to when I leave so its going to be an emotional time.
I have no inspiring outfits or clothing anecdotes to tell you really. I really want to buy a lot of the guest designer lines at Urban Outfitters right now, namely this Play by C. Ronson dress and every item in the Lark and Wolf collection. Its all so pretty! And I want a french bulldog.

PUP CITY!
