March is almost over and it's been a fun month, and just a tad more relaxed than I expect in April. A little down time is welcome, and it's certainly easy to hibernate when the weather is not so hot out. There has still been a lot to do though, and this weekend would have been a lot busier if I'd been able to make the Juno Awards, but I'll be watching the festivities from Toronto.

This week's excitement started with the media preview for the Canadian International AutoShow at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. The AutoShow opened for the public yesterday, and it's bound to be another big year for the event--there's a lot to see and do: classic cars, concepts, prototypes, and new vehicles that are either coming out, or making their way to market late this year.

Thank-you, 2016. Yes, it was a tough year, both personally and as a fan of popular culture and its icons, but it was also one of The GATE's best years. It's worth taking a moment now at the end of 2016 to look back on some of the awesome that came our way over the last 365 days.

Do you know what I love the most about the Oscars? It's not really the awards for me, but the frame that it puts around the year in cinema. It's about the love of movies, and in particular I love the way their montages make films come to life again, like you're seeing them for the first time. They're fresh, exciting glimpses into the real heart of cinema--those heart-racing, action-packed, emotional core moments that keep us going back for more stories time and again.
OppoSuits Christmas Suits

All I want for the Holidays is a Christmas Suit

Christmas is my favorite time of year because it starts around mid-November and goes all the way until the end of December. While I'm no fashionista, I do love getting dressed up for the right occasions, and this year I have to point out a new love for the holidays from to OppoSuits: Christmas suits. They're stylish and seasonal, and for $129 they're actually pretty cheap if you ask me. I've seen ugly Christmas sweaters for almost the same price.
