saturday night movie



i just finished watching canadian film One Week and fell in LOVE for more than these 4 reasons:
#1. it has the most lovely soundtrack (stars, wintersleep, great lake swimmers...)
#2. joshua jackson plays an english teacher/writer and is quite charming while he's at it.
#3. the director, michael mcgowan, called the film a love letter to the country (precious).
#4. it features my grandpa's hometown: White River, ON which has the title of coldest place in canada, having once reached -58 celcius, and perhaps even more exciting, it is the birthplace of winnie the pooh!

if you haven't already seen it i suggest doing so. it will bring out the proud canadian lurking within your bitter windsorite soul. then let's take a road trip. maybe hit fast-forward through the praries. i'll make a mix tape.
in the meantime, here are a few of my favourite canadian travel photos:
