TIFF
I'm baaaaaack!
I'm on a train on my way to Toronto for a film festival, and I decided that this would be a good way to keep track of all my musings throughout my time here, sooo yayyy Livejournal!
Luke and Nathan came and picked me up in Champaign (oh hey, I"m in grad school now, in case you didn't know). Luke got a speeding ticket before he even got to my house, so that was a great way to start off the trip. But then we got dunkin and I got a carmel apple donut AND a pumpkin donut. Anyyyyways, after all that it was off to Detroit to stay with Nathan's friend Sean for the night before heading to Toronto. We went to this thing where you pay five dollars to eat soup (and delishhh mac n cheese) and then they vote on ideas in the community to where the money is going to go each time. I think it's a really awesome idea, and if they had something like that back in Champaign I would certainly participate. Then after soup we needed even more food, so we went to this pizza place and got GHOST CHILE PIZZA. holy shit, I ate a piece, but I really did think I was going to die. We got a delish tandoori pizza too, but it took a looong time before I was able to enjoy that. Goodness gracious. By the time we headed back to Sean's we were all pretty sleepy from a long day of driving, so we passed out pretty soon afterwards. The bathroom at that house was great, and the people he lives with are really nice; when we woke up this morning the lady he lives with had out bagels and juice and cereal and all sorts of stuff, sucha sweet lady! Sooo yeah, now I think I"m going to settle back and watch some Prison Break until we reach our destination. More later :)
