WALL•E is TONIGHT!

Wall-E and MoM-O (short for "Microbe-Obliterator", seen on the left) is my favorite little robot (after WALL•E, of course) because he's so OCD with cleanliness that it's awesome.

You know what's sad? The fact that I couldn't fall asleep last night because I'm just that excited to watch WALL•E at midnight tonight. It's like I'm 5 years old again and it's Christmas eve. For me, the day that PIXAR movies premiere is pretty much like a religious holiday. Only it's not like I worship PIXAR daily or have a shrine in my room dedicated to the company (I don't. Really. The shrine in my room is for Harry Potter. Please THIS POST for more details). It's just that I look forward to their movies with as much enthusiasm as a 7 year-old looks forward to Santa coming on December 25th.

However, unlike Christmas where the presents are all surprises, I've been spoiled for my PIXAR holiday present for the last few months because I've read and watched anything and everything about WALL•E that I could get my grubby little hands on. Not that I really care or actually FEEL spoiled at all. If anything, everything I've read and watched has just served to make me more excited for this movie.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank all my friends for being so understanding of my WALL•E obsession and still loving me despite all my annoying PIXAR talk. You'll only have to bear it for a little while longer - at least until WALL•E leaves theaters and then again when it comes time for it to be released on DVD.

PS: Go buy your copy of the WALL•E soundtrack from iTunes right now. It's so awesome! I'm listening to it right now. I love the themes for WALL•E and M-O the best.

I'm so lucky to live near T.O.

Today, as I look through my window at yet another grey, crappy, boring day, I come to realize how lucky I am to live near Toronto. Because I'm so bored, I decided to check out toronto.com to see what was happening in my province's capital city that would be pretty darn cool to attend. Here are few that I thought were pretty neat:

The Toronto Jazz Festival (www.tojazz.com)
Lots of artists from Canada and around the world are coming out to play at this event. There's outdoor stages, but some are also playing in lounges and bar and the like. Plus you can catch free shows at Dundas Square (I think. I need to double check that) too.

Mondo Muziko A-Go-Go! (http://toronto.com/summerfestivals/event/608948)
Free musical performances at Dundas Square. AlexCuba is coming in September! I can't wait! I love his song "Amore Infinito"!


Casa Loma Renaissance Festival (http://toronto.com/summerfestivals/event/514314)
How about a little history in the city, eh? Casa Loma is transforming the gardens into a 16th century village with street performers and vendors and such. Fun times!

Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition (http://toronto.com/summerfestivals/event/517749)
Various artists are coming out to showcase and sell their works and it should be pretty darn cool!

Wakestock (http://toronto.com/summerfestivals
/event/375621)
One of the biggest wakeboarding competitions and music festivals ever - right here at Toronto's Center Island - lasting for 4 days.

Buskerfest (http://toronto.com/summerfestivals/event/609096)
At the St. Lawrence Markets, Toronto's street performers come out in full force to entertain and show off their stuff with music, theater, and
all sorts of tricks. Plus at night, the streets are still alive with shows and comedy theater.

Just a little something from runawaybox.com (I've been watching their YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/runawaybox - for the last three days and it's great) that also happens to be legendary, epic and frakking awesome.
