Vital Lies, Simple Truths

I am blogging again for the first time in almost a year. Life has changed dramatically. I have a lot of opinions and feel the need to rant and analyze; I am happy to have a forum for it.

I moved back to Montreal at the end of November to work at a film production company, which I did until April. In July, I moved to Toronto, where I am now working at Sun Media. I call people to see if they've received their copies of the National Post.

I've had serious culture shock moving here. In some ways more than when I moved to NY. When I moved to NY, I was sort of in awe of all that was going on around me. Here, it seems too easy to be critical of this place. It's Anglo, unhip and quiet. Last week's general feeling was that of jumping out a window. This week it's not so bad.

I work with funny ladies. I have a huge room. I bought a pair of Birkenstocks. I ran away from a bad date and jumped into a bar where I happened to know five people from Montreal.

  1. Katia - nothing compares to NYC I'm sure! And Toronto is super easy to complain about. HOWEVA, when you try to just see it as Toronto and not compare it to other beautiful amazing places, there's something really great about it.

    It will get a whole lot better when I return!!!
