What to do if you are alone tomorrow, either because you don't celebrate Christmas, or because there's no one around to celebrate with:

With this year's Toronto International Film Festival kicking into high gear, it seems appropriate to look back to the advertising for its tenth edition, back in the days when it was known as the Festival of Festivals.

If today’s column title gets Rachel Sweet’s Hairspray stuck in your head for the rest of the day, good! Because then we’ll have made our point that the version of Hairspray hitting this weekend isn’t as good as the John Waters original. Though the music not being as good is only part of it. There’s also the inherent irony about making a musical in which one of the central themes is integration through a shared love of largely-African American music that features only music written by a couple of white dudes. Hell, the irony of just making a musical about that. Musicals are basically the whitest form of entertainment we can imagine.

We're experimenting with a new daily photo posting. Each weekday morning, we'll pick a recent image from the Torontoist Flickr Pool and feature it here on the site. It's our way to give the many excellent photographers in our pool the attention they deserve!

, and the end of the monthly Revue, Serious revives the party with guests D-Sisive, Theology 3 and Notes To Self for all the rocking that the Augusta-College block can take. After the party, head down to the Spadina stretch for some serious cold tea.

There’s no need to turn up the volume at Kubo Radio because they are cranking out the Asian fusion eats, treats, rock, soul and kung fu all at once. In fact it’s a bit hard to even keep up.  Our very cute waiter sports a tee that says “Dim Sum Fooey” and in between taking orders and serving a full house, he still manages to find the time to dance with his co-worker in the back of the spacious restaurant.  How cute is that?  Even more so is the smart fusion of not just great food, but excellent service and good music (starting with Cheap Trick’s classic “I Want You to Want Me” and getting better from there…though a slight bit too loud) – there’s even kung fu movies playing on some of the monitors on the wall – making this a fun an alive spot on the Queen East strip in Leslieville. 

Next week we'll return to your regularly scheduled programming - cookies, cakes and confections.
