The other night I took these photographs of Lisa and Yuula’s performance.
I saw Doc @ the Young Centre and I don’t think I’ve cried during a play since like Festen maybe (although then I stood in some alley in Covent Garden, not able to breathe) and Jane Spidell was the best, like I wanted to write her a love letter after, I still do. There were three different brides posing for photographs in the Distillery District, one leaning against the wall and...
Min favorit bild från Bland Tomtar & Troll.
Sunglasses don’t make you invisible, leering bankers.
Do you know of any books about emerging multiculturalism, immigration and asylum in Sweden? By Swedish researchers? Or about the rise of far right nationalism, particularly in youth culture? Tell me.
I have eaten movie theatre food since 9am. The Sleeping Beauty was horrible, people walked out, I thought about it too. From the first shot I regretted getting up at 7:30am on a Sunday. How can you make À ma sœur! and then this? It’s Breillat’s Beekeeper. Or maybe Bluebeard was. Romance was a silly too now that I remember, even though I wanted to like it so much. So disappointing!...
lettyt:
This is for Sippor. and me. And everyone.
Can you believe how in love I used to be with this man? Of course now I’m very glad my plan to marry him didn’t work out, considering how everything turned out with his cornrows and an aging that lacks grace to say the least. But when I was 11, oh my god. One summer my parents, normally Piaf and Stravinsky listeners, stole my Use...

Biking in the rain at midnight from the island to the city to a dance party at Holy Oak, wearing a dress and reverting to mixed drinks.
Jen, I’m doing the same thing with Louise right now.
open studio for the rogue wave installation/performance event.
Still from À ma sœur!
Ozon’s new film is of course sold out at the TIFF. Sous le sable is one of the most beautiful films ever. But I’m seeing Notre jour viendra and Vincent Cassel in a “rage and hate-filled” movie can’t be wrong. And Breillat’s The Sleeping Beauty, which is supposed to ‘recall the more harrowing moments of Breillat’s legendary À ma...
I still can’t believe that Karen Bach is dead.
Yuula scanned these old photographs of the island today. Toronto Island used to be a peninsula, but in 1858 a storm severed the islands from the mainland and the Eastern Gap was formed. After that a hotel was built, the Royal Canadian Yacht Club moved here, cottages went up around Hanlan’s and summer homes for wealthy Toronto residents were built on Centre Island. On...
my pretty bike & other things today.
Promise: The Making of Darkness on the Edge of Town is the most exciting thing at the film festival and only fourteen days from me thanks to Jordan, fellow Bruce Springsteen, Roy Orbison and map enthusiast. Meanwhile my vegetarianism disappeared with the filet mignon at St. Lawrence. Then I ate honeycomb. Animals, I am sorry, you and your houses are so delicious and I am so weak. I’ll try...
Nikola Tamindzic took this photograph of Melissa, who put together a book called Coming & Crying. Maybe you’ve read about it? Jonathan Ames and Stephen Elliott wrote things for it, among others, and can you even decide whether Wake Up, Sir! or The Extra Man is better? No. I’ve known Melissa for, I don’t know, a decade?? From prehistoric internet times. She’s...
wool dresses, oysters, hurricanes, holy oak, a terrible place that makes everything into a waffle but their patio is empty, beer, more and more and more.
