Another banner update
I don't 'member being so busy before but maybe that's why I need this place.
Scott and I went to the Harbourfront Author's Series to see Jasper Fforde on March 21st. First we had listen to a reading from Gail Scott, Canadian author, which was pretty painful.(Let's just say Margaret Atwood has a better presence.) and she looked positively stoney through all of Mr. Fflorde's talk. Not surprising as he doesn't really take anything too seriously and she takes everything waaaaay to seriously. It was nice to hear that someone else is as addicted to Wikipedia as I am. We lined up for the post show signing and about 5 people line up for Ms. Scott so she had a few more scowls and then went to sit with her friends. The rest of us lined the room, some with the entire canon of his books to be signed. We had only two. the most recent one and the one I happened to be reading. Hubby said it was too bad that JF couldn't go for Brunch and JF actually remembered the email from Hubby. I said that I had enjoyed the eggs Benedict on his behalf, "And how did I enjoy them?", "Very much" - not very good grammar but I was on the spot. Then he signed my book to his "My proxy eggs benedict eater" Tee hee!
New Ideas Festival with Florence on 24th 4 amazing plays in one evening and they were all really good. I've left it too long now and I don't remember - which is why I need this place. I'll add them in if I remember later.
Managed to squeeze in a visit to the Spring One of a Kind show with Karen on March 31 - good show. So many bags so little time but I resisted. And only bough a present for my visit . . .
To Ottawa to see Becca John & HANDSOME HARRY April 1st
In the cab to the train there was an awesome April fool's joke on CBC's The Current - Mary Walsh hosting. Elizabeth May, Evan Solomon, and Gordon Pinsent were all in on it. Gordon was representing a new political party, by the elderly and for the elderly who feel they are not being represented by current politics. They really had me going for a while.

Let's see what I can 'Member
Lots to cover
Tuesday,February 1st - To Canadian Opera Company's production of Mozart's The Magic Flute. The voices were lovely but I was not a big fan of the staging in the first half. The play within a play wasn't really fleshed out -hard to do within the existing Libretto. It just felt too, well, staged But the hedges in the second half were great.
Wednesday, February 2nd - AGO Preview of the Blackwood exhibition. He was doing a signing and I went to meet him. I told him about the print that my parents bought back in '68, "Island Funeral" hanging in the Guest room. I asked him to sign the page in the catalogue with the print and he also signed the front page - a great present for my Dad's birthday. The Curator suggested that the piece is getting hard to find. I may have something pretty amazing in my collection some day.
Friday, February 4th - 2nd professional cake job due. For Lewis, the 2 year old son of my boss. Awesome train cake. I'm very happy with it.
Nice overview
Close of the front. Apparently Lewis was so excited by it that he "had" to grab the figure and the train and share them with his best friend. Awesome reaction!
And you can't forget the Caboose!
So after surviving work that day and having the cake survive as well. I met up with Mum for dinner and went to see "Barrymore" starring Christopher Plummer! So amazing. Two famous Canadians in one week! The show was really funny. And I should have known better but it was pretty rude and crude! So awesome. I wonder how much of the Barrymore story is the same as Mr. Plummer's? I've got to read the Bio that M&D got for me a few years back.
Enough for now. I'll catch up later or I'll never get a post done.
