2011

Over the summer I began referring to 2011 as my Great Big Year. I’m in my head all the time. I’m too nostalgic. I get paranoid. I like to put a label on the eras of my life. So over the summer I started making a word document of what this year has been. Here’s what 2011 was: -Reading Neil Gaimen’s “American Gods,” on the top bunk. -“Zombie Spaceship Wasteland” by Patton...

I caved a bit on my no soda until birthday thing because getting up early...

That night in Toronto...

It has been a long week of driving. I went to the Toronto International Film Festival with my pal Jon this week. We were there two nights and three days. Well, I was there three days. Jon left early via the megabus on the third day. Canadians are very cool people. Whether they were working somewhere or just random strangers on the street, they were just so friendly and helpful. The whole festival...
