I hope it will be worth what I give up

We went to see the Virgin Suicides at the free Harbourfront movies on Tuesday, it worked out better than the previous week where Annie Hall was rained out. I had forgotten how much I like that film, I felt like I was in a dream for 2 hours. It made me want to be young and in love...

Speaking of films, I am now officially an employee of the Toronto International Film Festival! I will be a Front of House Assistant at the Scotiabank Theatre so I will pretty much be a glorified volunteer except that I get paid and get a staff pass for all the films! I'm really excited, it makes me feel like all my time here has totally been worth it.

So today I got the new IKEA catalogue in the mail and it got me all excited for when we move to Melbourne and have a fabulous house together. I have an good idea of what I want my room to look like and I want a really cute kitchen to bake cakes and cook delicous meals in. I feel like such a grown up! Life is going to be fantastic when I get back to Australia.

I'm really into Santogold today, its awesome.

Time stands still when I think of you

What has happened to our blog! No updates in two weeks, thats almost embarassing... I at least have a good excuse for why I haven't updated, my computer broke about a week ago, totally broken beyond repair. I'm considering buying a laptop in the next few weeks even though I can't afford it at all, I still kinda want one... I had an extremely crazy weekend just past, lots of drinking and dance parties, things inappropriate for discussion on the internet. This coming weekend is Polacko's going away party :( sad times, but at least with him moving to London I will have somewhere to stay when I go there!
So because I haven't had a computer/the internet for a while now, I haven't really been very inspired by anything new. I did get an amazing hair cut last Thursday though which I have gotten nothing but compliments about. It kinda looks like this on one side...

... and its longer on the other. Its freaking hot and I love it so much.
So I also applied for a job at Toronto Film Festival, I haven't heard back from them yet but before I applied, I asked my volunteer coordinator from Images to be my reference (she also works for TIFF) and she's going to recommend me for another position! Its one that doesn't get advertised, only people who are recommended by theatre staff can apply, so thats totally the best thing ever! Working for TIFF will be the best cap off for this whole canadian adventure of mine, I'm so excited!

In other film news, Bloor Cinema is showing some French new wave films in the coming weeks, I think I'm going to see Jules and Jim by Francois Truffaut. I need to feel inspired.

Truffles Oh My!

My friend Nelia got back from Paris the other day and she brought me back a box of Belgian Truffles!

Delish!
So over summer in Toronto there's a couple of free outdoor movie series, one is romantic films (Titanic, The Notebook, Romeo and Juliet) and the other is indie flicks (Juno, Rushmore, The Virgin Suicides). I'm hoping to take advantage of them every week, mostly because it is so hot in our house that I need to spend every night outside otherwise I'll explode! The one I'm looking forward to the most is in two weeks, Annie Hall. I'm hoping to take a boy along and am thinking about an outfit, maybe some kind of reworking of classic Ralph Lauren, something like this picture from Elle...

I do like that Ralph Lauren...
Another discovery I made in Elle is Rizvi Millinery which is a hat/headwear designer who I think you would love given your love of feathery headbands. This is my favourite...

Ok I need to get my beauty sleep and actually do something productive with my life tomorrow.
