Another Date with Strombo

Well Hello There!

How is everyone this fine and dandy May 10th?
I'm doing pretty swell, though I feel extremely cold and tired. Why does it feel like Oct? or Ireland for that matter.

Today was another date with Mr. George, and today's show was packed with fun guests!
First it was Paul Henderson, the man who scored the winning goal against the Russians all those years back. It's so long ago I wasn't even born yet. That's a crazy long time ago :p Not to make anyone feel old or anything...

Then it was the lovely Sarah Polley. She seems very sweet and smart. Apparently she's afraid of connecting flights. I wouldn't blame her. I bet she went through the horror at Heathrow like I did. Who wouldn't be scared of them after experiencing that mess. I find that rather interesting though. A fear of being in between something. George was mentioning how he was often weary about that as well. But he decided to look at airports in a different way. Everyone is there because they need to get somewhere. In a way, we're all part of a community because we're sharing this one common thread. That's actually part of the reason why I enjoy airports. Everyone is there to go some place. There are people from all over the world in one area... it's very interesting.

Then it was Jay Baruchel and director Jacob Tierney. They were there in support of their latest flick 'The Trotsky'. Here's a trailer:



It looks pretty good! Could be interesting! Plus, it actually takes place in Montreal if I'm not mistaken! Jay was a really sweet guy, talking about how the most important women in his life are his mom and sister. awwww so sweet. Both Jay and Jacob went on and on about how much they love Montreal. Seeing as I was born in Montreal, it made me really want to go back and visit. Alas, I will stay in Toronto for now.

It's been pretty sad weather in the GTA and Southwestern Ontario recently. I don't like it. Especially when I don't have gloves and a hat... it makes walking around not very fun.

Today was also when I started to really get down and dirty with my cover letter and resume writing. I just sent out some stuff for a part-time job... we'll see what happens!

I suppose that is all for now, I'm going to more of The Hour tomorrow! I'll let you know how that goes!

:)

keep smilin,
