“Yes, women are stronger than us. They face more directly the problems that confront them, and for that reason they are much more spectacular to talk about. I don’t know why I am more interested in women, because I don’t go to any psychiatrists, and I don’t want to know why.”

TIFF ’09 | September 10 – 19, 2009
OK gang… The TIFF 2009 will be kicking off tomorrow with tons of wicked movies in the house… Once again, Toronto will be experiencing an AHHH-MAZING atmosphere, welcoming the 34rd year of one of the most famous movie festivals in North America… Many stars, including mister heart-throb Matt Damon, George “Handsome Dude” Clooney, Oprah Winfrey, and my favorite Kristin Scott Thomas will be hitting the red carpet over the next week…
I personally have a very special guest, Bob the Great (!), arriving this afternoon all the way from Munich to share his movie-loving experiences with his Torontonian friends… We all have many films on our agendas this year — I’ll be sure to share them with you once I get a chance…
Salute to all the movie lovers out there… Stay tuned for more…

L’Arbre…
This was written during a night of insomnia… not so long ago…
I want to be that tree;
as green as its own spring leaves;
as hale as the green fists in the sky;
and as heavy as your gaze,
which ennobles my dreams
in your saneness thoughts.
I want to be the tree on which
you carve your fullest heart.

A Little (Black) Note…
Here is a little note on a gray and a lonely evening…
You said this would be an emotional day for her or someone close to her… asked her not to push herself beyond her limits… a limit as big as a tea cup and as small as the sea of time… to be kind to herself before anyone or anything within her surroundings… the ones who often inject their negative souls in to her immaculate body… you told her she is not and should not be responsible for others’ woes… showed her how to place the big word “NO” in her little vocabulary of mind…
Finally… you asked her to be patient… something good will happen to her in the not-too-far future…
And you said it all right.
