Madonna’s lyrics “Am I Gonna Be A Star?” run through my head. Took yesterday off to ’star’ in a commercial for Toronto’s Beck Taxi. Not a bad way to spend the day, drink wine, say a line…. I wasn’t feeling natural at first but it seemed to all come together. My boyfriend Craig starred opposite me, the archetypal boyfriend trying to rush his woman out the door. Hope the chemistry shows on screen.

Later in the night I attended some broadcaster’s convention/piss up with my sisinlaw Wendy. We were there at about 7pm but these kids had been drinking since noon. It was a little nuts but a great time. The highlight? I ran into Mayor Miller in the Sheraton, shot him a coy smile and got a sincere hello from the charming man.

Love this city. Toronto’s feeling electric lately and (maybe since it’s all lit up in fantastic Christmas lights) yesterday I was bubbling with civic pride.
