Happy New Years to all our Jewish Crappiteers. Oy Vey Lang Syne! 

[Just Some Girl]

That's what my Shana Tova message was all about yesterday. You're such a goy.

Or doy.

Anyway, that's why I'm doing a half day at work on my normal day off...receptionist, one assistant, the voice agent, and two owner-agents here are Jewish. That leaves our accountant, one owner-agent, and two assistants, neither of whom know how to do simple things like call out a courier order because they always get the receptionist to do it. So I'm helping out for a bit, if the phones even ring.

They're taking the extra day on Friday too, and both the accountant and I have weddings to go to, so we'll be out too. That leaves three of 10 staff. Oy fucking vey.

Also, TIFF started today, so I think it'll be totally dead, and it's completely unnecessary for me to put in a few hours, but oh well, they'll just owe me a half day before the year is up...

Toronto Film Fest?

Anything tasty lined up?

[Just Some Girl]

Probably. I don't have tix (they're minimum $10 more than regular ticket pricing and 70% of the stuff comes back in regular release so...).

All y'all would love it here this time of year.

I have rsvp'd to a bunch of parties I'm unlikely to go to also.

The idea of small talk annoys me at the best of times.

Small talk combined with "industry" schmoozing makes me want to run and hide. I'm too shy, for one, and I don't care about this banal bullshit. I wonder if any of these people actually see any movies.

I may go to the CFC (Canadian Film Centre) BBQ on Sunday. (That's Norman Jewison's set-up, to train aspiring filmmakers.) I go to that every year, except last year, as it was around the time of my dad's surgery. Hard to give a fuck when your dad's dying of cancer.

But don't let my bad mood kill crappity.

On the up side, the assistant who annoys me most here will be giving his notice tomorrow (he doesn't know that I know...but he's stupidly been telling people in the "industry"). So...yay!

When he leaves you should say, "It's been nice working with you...you really know how to put the "ass" in assistant."

I like BBQ.

They usually do a couple whole piggies, from what I can tell. But they have a bunch of food (everything from satays to veggie burgers to ice creams -- all from vendors...the stuff in the booze tents is all catered-y stuff). And there's a band this year.

Last time I went, I got bombed (it goes from 12:30pm to 3:30pm), was drooling (possibly literally) all over a cute writing/acting client of ours, and was home, napping, by about 5pm. The time before that, we crashed a couple invitation-only parties after.

So I guess I like BBQ, too.

haha, good advice!

Also, those drinkin' pics were awesome.

thanks! I posted that on facebook and didn't get one remark from my so called "friends"...who are these people...I'm not wasting my talent there anymore...

my talent being making an ass of myself...

I like BBQ.

I only like BBQ when it's cooked over charcoal made with burned copies of the Koran.

And served on paper plates decorated with Allah cartoons.

USA! USA! USA!

[Just Some Girl]

Hmmmm, sacri-licious!
