Today had been supermega cleaning day. Our apartment has been neglected and, as such, has turned on us. There’s still more fun to be had, like ripping the cat hair out of the carpet, but it’s nice to have a (somewhat) livable environment again.

Really, we’re just phoning it in now. Our condo is set to be ready for us by early April, and we just don’t care about the place we’re in anymore. It’s a rental, so we’re not destroying the place or anything, but there’s not exactly a pride of ownership right now either.

Day Night Day Night, one of our favourite films at this year’s TIFF, has won the award for best feature film at the Woodstock Film Festival. I’m glad; it deserves more attention than it got here in Toronto.

Scott Adams is at it again. This time he thinks he has an idea that will win him next year’s Nobel prizes for both peace and economics. It relates to the old no-two-countries-who-have-a-McDonald’s-have-ever-gone-to-war maxim, which is really just a symptom. Open trade with a country makes it much harder to go to war with them (unless you plan to overrun them completely). For example, the US will never attack China; Wal-Mart gets most of their cheap goods from China and would likely go out of business, or at the very least drastically increase their prices.

Late last night we watched Henry Fool (imdb | rotten tomatoes), the precursor to Fay Grim, another film we saw at this year’s festival. It was good, but I think I was expecting the style of Fay Grim, which was far more frenetically paced. And, of course, I wish there could have been more focus on Parker Posey, but I guess the title should have made it obvious that there wouldn’t be. I would definitely recommend watching Henry Fool before watching Fay Grim, though; it would’ve helped us out a lot.
