Hey #Toronto book lovers:
This Saturday, I'm going to be at Indigo (Bay/Bloor location), promoting, selling and signing my new novel, Performance Reviews!
I'll be there at noon and plan to stay until I either sell all my copies or get really bored. Please drop by and say hey.

Intermission at Summer and Smoke.
So far, Summer's been spending a lot of time with her glass collection, while Smoke's just complaining about all the no-neck monsters.
(The lighting was low)

Okay, I'll give Mirvish and the New York Times some credit:
They know how to use hyphens correctly.
I *should* be saying they should've written the blurb in a way that didn't require so many hyphens. But after working with "professional" writers who have no idea how hyphens work, this pleases me.

Seeing two plays this weekend:
Tennessee Williams' Summer and Smoke at Crow's Theatre today, and Mirvish's Some Like It Hot tomorrow.
Both by myself. (What, you didn't think I had social plans for Valentine's weekend, did you?)

I'm running out of stuff to watch on Crave.
But there's The White Lotus.
Is that as good as everybody says? Worth twenty-some hours of my time?

Age verification? I had the Sesame Street disco album.
Age verification? I was a latchkey kid who was born before free healthcare was instituted in Quebec.

"God's Lonely Man."
Taxi Driver was released half a century ago yesterday. Still cinema's greatest depiction of urban alienation.
