It was such a pleasure to attend the Oakville Film Festival this weekend and see an amazing Bosnian/Serbian film, Cat's Cry. Such a gut wrenching story, filled with love, dedicated and heartbreak.
The panel afterwards was especially spectacular — hearing from the producers and main actor was such a special treat.
Lead Actor Jasmin Geljo was lovely to speak with and was kind enough to snap a photo with us!

We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out.
I'm goin' to Jackson, I'm gonna mess around,
Yeah, I'm goin' to Jackson,
Look out Jackson town”

Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad

Can’t understand what I mean?
Well, you soon will”

But someday your looks will be gone
When the others turn you off
Who'll be turning you on?”

On this day in 2022, Kate Bush went to #1 in the U.K. with ‘Running Up That Hill’ from 1985. The song played a key role in ’Stranger Things’.
“And if I only could,
I’d make a deal with God,
And I’d get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems”

🎶 Vinyls in the afternoon 🎵
Noon zipped by, so today I am spinning in the afternoon. The Beat of the Brass by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass is— I think a great way to start off the week.
My favourite song on here is, "This guys in love with you"

Bob Dylan recorded ‘Like a Rolling Stone’ on this day 60 years ago.
“You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
That he's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say do you want to make a deal?”

Land of Hope and Dreams
Today there will be no King. Today is about the Boss. Diversity is a strength.
“Well, I will provide for you
And I’ll stand by your side
You’ll need a good companion now
For this part of the ride
Yeah, leave behind your sorrows
Let this day be the last
Well, tomorrow there’ll be sunshine
And all this darkness past”

🎶 Vinyls at noon 🎵
Over the weekend I was going through all my records and trying to organize them 😅
I found this gem! I don't know if I will be listening to it and following along 😆
I can't remember if I bought this or I was gifted it, but either way I think it is a pretty cool blast from the past 💞
