Toren Atkinson’s Absolute Blog

Since we got the eviction notice, we got a message telling us when they’d be power washing the windows and painting the building. So I guess they’re not demolishing the building (although it would be pretty cool if they gussied it up before they smashed it), just kicking us all out for the renovations. When I bumped into the guy from Evictions Canada (kind of like Elections Canada only even more sinister) he asked me how long I’d lived here. After his explanations about what was going on he thanked me for being so understanding. “After living here for 10 years I thought you’d be up in arms.” My response was, and is, that it’s kind of overdue. I had hoped to be out of here by now, but not just out of the building but onto the next chapter of my life (whatever the hell that may be, but I think there’s a house involved). And now I am, in a way, just unexpectedly so!

They got this cool thing on the internet - fake “reworked” trailers for existing movies. You’ve probably seen the one for “The Shining” which is great. This one below is my absolute favourite, and even though I have a vague policy about not putting up lame “hey look at this thing on the internet that everyone else has already told you about a million times” on my blog, this one’s really really good. Especially if you’ve already seen the film “Glengarry Glen Ross” and if you haven’t, you should.
