aunties and uncles

we had a lovely day off today, taking time to celebrate and enjoy life and a variety of accomplishments. aren finished the first two short films and needed a break before going back in to tackle the feature. he will present his cut to the director in four days. when faced with having an extra day to edit and burning out or less time but more energy/creative focus/will to live, he wisely chose the later. i'm finished at the costume shop. i went to see toronto dance theatre's new show, timecode, last night and was blown away. the integration of video with the movement was breathtaking (for reals, you all know how i feel about 'multimedia'). i'm very excited and honoured to be working with such an amazing company.
first, breakfast. we went to aunties and uncles. it was delicious. we both loved it immediately - great atmosphere, excellent food, good coffee (though no soy milk, the dude practically scoffed at me. i think i will have to start carrying around a small thermos of the stuff to thwart the dairy enablers), terrific value for money. definitely our favourite by far (of course, in our hearts, a torch burns eternally bright for hatch).






then we got aren a new coat. or canadian forces parka, one piece, as the salesman described it. toasty. aren's also wearing his new fall/winter hat by me. thanks singne and ron!


we enjoyed a delicious pomegranate as an afternoon snack. aren then decided a nap was in order.

next up, dinner out to celebrate me getting into four at the winch and our good day.
