I’m going kind of a day behind on these – now writing this post on Tuesday AM, on my iPhone, still in bed at 8:03, tho I could argue that it’s only 7:03 at home in Central time. [at least started; gonna move over to the “real” computer to do the pics]
On Monday, we successfully added a film, Belle – period drama based on true events:
We had to go to the TIFF box office to get the tickets. Afterwards we headed up to the big Loblaws, near last year’s airbnb. Originally we thought we might make a big breakfast, with fixins from Loblaws, but we sort of ran out of time. We split a scone at Bulldog, brought the groceries home, and headed back out for the film. It was in the Wintergarden Theatre, part of the historic Elgin, but a part we’d not been in before. Crazy ceiling with fake leaves & lanterns.
early morning sky – getting up to try for TIFF tix
After Belle, we headed back to the apartment. We had sandwiches & chips & apples for lunch. Mark headed out to play, and I got ready for class at 6:00 (central, 7:00 here). Which went OK – used Mark’s laptop as my 2nd screen, so I could see what the students see. And Mark came back with a new watchband. Talked to John a bit – sounds like he might get a job in the library for grad school – he worked in the library at his undergrad art school, too.
Our last movie of the night was Starred Up – about father & son prisoners in a Scottish jail. “Starred up” is how juvenile but dangerous offenders, who get sent to adult prisons, are referred to. Grim but well done seemed to be the prevailing opinion. Walked home & bought an overpriced carton of Hagen Daaz cookie dough ice cream, that was a little icey on top, but delicious none the less. And I tried on vain to reset my voicemail so I could retrieve the messages I can’t listen to – no luck. Oh well, my message says to email me so presumably if anyone really needs me they’ll do that.
Posted from iPhone – mostly.
