After we snapped this photo, she tried to eat the flower. Need to oil up that wheelchair. It's gettin' a might squeaky. Blue babushka. Passersby love the golf hat. Lazy walker... https://www.instagram.com/p/ChLLSa8lr9h/ According to the technician, she prefers massages over exercise. Who doesn't?
Today, we visited Toronto's Parkdale district. We were joined by Dr. Blackjack for a chocolate tasting at the SOMA Chocolate factory. But first, we hit Imanishi Sando Bar for some Japanese-style sandwiches. Unable to choose between the crispy fish, shrimp, pork, and spicy chicken, we opted for all four... Then, we visited the newly-opened Affinity…
Today, I had a hankering for a tomato sandwich after THIS twitter post showed up on my timeline - https://twitter.com/Gennefer/status/1557568954972794883 Truly, a work of art - and beats the hell out of the tomato sandwich I got in the Utopia Falls writers' room - So, inspired, I stopped by the grocery store on our way…
Raw (2016) A young woman, studying to be a vet, develops a craving for human flesh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFlXVX2af_Y&t=5s Thoughts: Mixes eroticism with cannibalism in its examination of female identity and social pressures. Provocative on multiple levels but tonally flat. The latter cements its unique artistic ascetic but at the cost of muting the viewer's emotional connection…

Today's Yes/No... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1556983279739338753 Certainly not for $18!
The Midnight Meat Train (2008) A photographer's obsessive pursuit of dark subject matter leads him into the path of a serial killer who stalks late night commuters, ultimately butchering them in the most gruesome ways. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtUiRfMy_uI&t=5s Thoughts: Some inspired direction here but the carnage is so over-the-top that it strays into silly territory. A solid…
Stopping to sniff the flowers. Picture perfect. Me and my gal. Suji siesta Her silent bark... https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg5gtMlF8HK/
Every Thursday I accompany Akemi to her pottery class in the Junction. And, every Thursday, while she dabbles in clay, I enjoy a neighborhood stroll followed by a solo lunch followed by a matcha latte at a local cafe with free internet. For our first six visits, I frequented the same fantastic delicatessen - When…
Jennifer's Body (2009) A newly-possessed high-school cheerleader turns into a succubus who specializes in killing her male classmates. Can her best friend put an end to the horror? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUjZHFNMlOM Thoughts: There’s a glibness to the humor and an interminable delight in its own cleverness that makes this movie tonally off-putting. Still, is it entertaining? Yes.…
Yesterday, Akemi, Ivon, and neighbor Kevin and I checked out Le Genie French Bakery (382 Yonge Street) where we enjoyed - The pain au chocolat, the chocolate-hazelnut flower tart, and the pistachio Paris-Brest. Akemi was all over that pain au chocolat with all of its airy crispness and rich butteriness. We split the chocolate flower…

Choose one to lose! For me, it's shrimp all the way. Love me some scallops (possibly my favorites). And I do love a good lobster roll. Crab is great, especially stone crab - so long as it's served with the shell already cracked. A bit labor intensive, sure. But shrimp? Maybe breaded and roasted…
Ghost Stories (2017) Skeptical professor Phillip Goodman embarks on a trip to the terrifying after being given a file with details of three unexplained cases of apparitions. Thoughts: The fact that these stories are first-hand experiences told in flashback defuses much of the stakes - until the final “twist”, which proves to be the big…
At one with nature. Suji distraught to discover that her favorite pee tree is no more. Trying to sell Suji on a new pee tree. A little off-roading. Risky Business. Lost her golf ball. That's a one stroke penalty.
