I'm still mourning the end
of the Toronto International Film — the eleven days
in September when Toronto feels like the centre of the
universe and when all the fun helps us forget that summer's
drawing to a close. Toronto is truly at its best during
the festival. So much buzz in the air. Walking from the
Lightbox around the corner to Roy Thompson Hall around
8:15 pm on the evening of the seventh there were so many
summery, excited folks in the street enjoying the atmosphere,
celeb watching or in line for movies that it felt dreamlike.
This year I had the good fortune to catch six films: Words and Pictures, Philomena, The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, Tracks, Stay and Sunshine on Leith.

Sad as I am that the festival's over, it's absence has given me the chance to catch up on some other things. Like spending time outdoors.

I'm
also still putting in hours at my old office job, working
out of my former cubicle, funnily enough. And of course
I'm gearing up for the upcoming Tomorrow blog tour (thanks
to Shane at Itching
for Books for doing such a fab job of assembling the
tour!). You can click the below banner for info on all
the stops. I hope you'll drop in somewhere along the route
to find out more about Tomorrow and say hello!
I've got double-sided bookmarks ready for Tomorrow's release
