oh good morning there
two films on raymi’s movie radar list:
blindness (click for trailer) – because losing vision is one of my many irrational fears, i would be so totally depressed if that happened, and terrified, and i would never get to look at myself in a mirror ever again (sob), or see fil’s face, sigh. after seeing beautiful things in this world having your sight taken away, ugh. worse than being deaf cos at least then you wouldn’t be alone in the dark. i always remember every scary movie involving blind girls, like jennifer eight, eek!
film 2:
hamlet 2. sass brought this up on sunday and it struck a chord, mostly cos i didn’t really know what the fuck she was talking about. i figure if sass shows interest in xyz pop culture i should make an effort to pay attention, she’s three years my junior, oh god i’m turning into one of those “you keep me young” chicks GROAN brutal!

Raymi,
I have been reading your blog since I first moved to TO in 2006. I had to leave in 2007 as my work visa was up but still read it every day, from the furthest point you can possibly be in the world from Toronto. If you are ever in doubt that your blog is a waste of time or effort just remember there is someone else (probably many someone elses for that matter) on the other side of the world who gets a kick out of you and your posts.
I also understand completely how the blog takes up so much time and how you change the way you think on a daily basis when you become a daily blogger (which sounds so retardo lame but hey I get it) so it makes me sad that people leave you shitty comments when something that’s so personal for you and in a way, probably quite cathartic and fun at the same time, turns into this bullshit place for people who have nothing better to do with their time other than to come and anonymously heckle. There’s nothing more spineless than an anonymous commenter. Except maybe a snail, do they even have spines?
Anyway keep up the blogging (doesn’t that sound like it should be on a button?) because despite the few pathetic losers out there who’ve got nothing clever to say, you’ve inspired a lot of people, including me, to stick with their blogs just by all the clever things you regularly say. and have also created your own form of virtual social forum via your blog comments. Take that FaceBook!
Before this turns into anymore of an after school special I should probably stop.
I feel like a retard for writing this to you but hate to think you are feeling down about something that brings so much enjoyment to so many anonymous people who really appreciate it.
Take care girl, you’re the best!
Sarah.
oh and check this out.
sassephine: as for the link you did about the comments
Raymi, you are a national institution much like the CBC and Toronto Star now what with closing down comments
AND i did it before i read that article.
