GATTO Wood Oven Italian Restaurant had peach pizzas available for a limited time and oh Lordy they are super tasty! One had prosciutto and burrata on it, kind of a classic style of pizza, and the other (my preferred) had pepperoni and hot honey.

The Australian Pink Floyd show in Toronto was phenomenal! The images had an Aussie tinge to them but the music was what we expected, except for a few surprises, such as extended solos and outros. The giant pink kangaroo hopping in place—that took the cake!

I got to see the world premiere of Takashi Miike’s newest film, #BadLieutenantTokyo, at #TIFF! Lighter and more humorous than previous Bad Lieutenant movies, it still had the elegantly violent flourishes we love about Miike.

Got to see the world premiere of #AlphaGang at #TIFF with Lily-Rose Depp, Kelvin Harrison Jr, and directors Nathan & David Zellner there too! And it was the most gorgeous theatre in Toronto, the Princess of Wales Theatre!

First day at #TIFF yesterday and enjoyed the world premiere of Stuffed, a taxidermy musical that’s highly original and a very unusual story. It was a lot of fun and the leads Jodie Comer & Harry Melling were terrific!

Last night’s entertainment.
Magnificent.
Except for the cyclops, that was disappointing.
But otherwise…magnificent.

Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world. Today, $2 from every Teen Burger sold at A&W will go to MS Canada. So bring your appetite! (Even if it is just an excuse for A&W to get a healthy tax receipt for charitable donations.)

A friend of mine has finished editing his first full-length movie and sent me this:

“We are in the process of festival and distribution and have some leads but are open to more”

Anyone with XP in the #filmdistribution biz have any ideas for him?

I watched The Invite yesterday. Never saw anything Olivia Wilde acted in or directed before, but she and Seth Rogan are as a hilarious comedy duo, I was just constantly laughing!

And I’ve never related harder to a character than I did to Seth’s when he said incredulously, “Me?!”

Miracle Treat Day…Today’s the day! Go ahead and treat yourself and your friends and family to a Blizzard!

Proceeds from every Blizzard sold go directly to Children's Miracle Network hospital foundations. It is an annual fundraising event organized by Dairy Queen locations across Canada.

One last bit of the vacation. Here’s another song I heard and enjoyed while in France. The dance moves are simply beyond sublime!

Private screening of Dolphin Flip (I had a fun lil role in it), a very cute & light romcom that got a great reaction from the crowd of cast & crew. Pictured is writer/producer/lead actor Sylvester Pribil and lead actress Amanda Arcuri, both of whom totally rocked it!

Adriano Celentano was a big name at the time he wrote this utterly gibberish song, intending it to sound like American English. And somehow it became a hit with Italians who wanted to hear more songs with English lyrics. It’s total nonsense and I freakin love it.

One of our taxi drivers in Paris had the Oldies station on and this was one of the songs that caught my attention. I’ve been singing “Miss Cha-cha-cha, Miss Cha-cha-cha” in my head ever since.

Experiencing my favourite band, @marillion.com at a venue like Anfiteatro di Pompeii was an out of the world experience! The place is massive and it’s dripping with history and ghosts and to hear their epic music ringing throughout was unforgettable and transcendental!

The Castel Nuovo in beautiful Napoli, Italia, is a medieval fortress with five towers, a renaissance triumphal arch, an underground excavation, and inexplicably, a Robert Crumb gallery sharing space in a chapel.

This sumptuous courtyard in the super posh Hotel de Crillon seemed a perfect spot to enjoy a grilled Catalan sausage with mash. Plus a Hibiki Suntori whisky that turned out to be a whopping 48€!

Our final meal in Paris for this vacation. Very sad to leave. But my wallet is delighted to leave.

Shakespeare and Company is a renowned & beloved bookstore in Paris. Word is that famous writers from way back used to write there. Now there are lineups every day at all hours to get in and browse. We ended up with four books and a beautiful tote bag. And a homemade lemonade from the cafe next door.

Why is there a Five Guys in Paris?! “Hey, let’s go to fuckin Paris and eat a fuckin burger” became our catchphrase. 😄

But then we ended up at Big Fernand, where I had the signature burger with beef “of French origin” and cheese that translates to “mountain time with raw milk”. Strangely delish!

I’m sorry, did our Uber from CDG to our hotel near the Champs Elysees really cost 60€ ?! Oh well, it’s Paris, it was never gonna be a cheap vacay.

Our jetlaggy meal was a caïpirinha that packed a wallop despite seeming more ice than beverage, burratina with cherry tomatoes, and a Croque Madame.

A disappointing start to our big vacation: we got downgraded from business class to premium economy. All so a family could sit together. Which makes no sense, as all the seats are separated anyway. Oh well. This is still our first big vacation in almost 10 years, so we ain’t gonna let this faze us.
