What a busy freakin' weekend!!!

Friday Night - Windsor International Film Festival

Film - Weirdsville

The opening scene has a mouse swimming, trying to get out of a grungy toilet. I was somewhat afraid that the movie would go downhill from there, but I was wrong. The movie was brilliant with an awesome soundtrack that comes out on CD November 27, 2007.

Saturday Night - WIFF and a late Halloween party

Film - Persepolis

This animated film from France won the Jury prize at the Cannes Film Festival. The film is about a Iranian girl's childhood during Iran's war with Iraq. She tries to find her own identity during the ousting of the Shah, a war, and Islamist rule.

I need to see the movie again. Maybe next time I'll spend less time trying to compare the subtitles with what was being said....

Late Halloween Party - Denis and Monica's place

After Persepolis, Maria and I stopped off at my place to a) let the dog out, and have a play, and b) pick up the bucket o' frozen daiquiris from the freezer, before heading off to Denis and Monica's late Halloween party. There was a nice mix of people and pets (My puppy scratch is healing nicely, thanks for asking) and tons of food. A good time was had by all, especially the
guy who went in drag. He looked better in a dress than I do *sigh*.

Sunday night - In Remembrance - a Concert by the Windsor Classic Chorale and Friends

One of the Grad House gang is an alto with the Windsor Classic Chorale. They had their first concert of the season last night - the second of what is an annual event commemorating Remembrance Day. There was a piper, a trumpet player, a cellist, and some local celebrities reading letters from soldiers from the World Wars. It was a beautiful concert.

In non-weekend related news, I booked my accommodations for my annual Holiday trip to visit Kristen. Too late to back on pet-sitting with Bandit, Greg...

TTFN,
