King of Schmooze endorses Tri-Spa Candidate

KOS has decided to jump into the minefield which is provincial politics with his endorsement of Tyler Currie, who is part of John Tory's Team, for the riding of Trinity-Spadina in this October's upcoming provincial election.

The election, on Oct. 10th, should be interesting.

Time to Start Posting!

I find it mildly amusing that the last time KOS posted here was this past Christmas while visiting his parents.

Here I am again and have found some time to get back to speed on all things KOS.

Highlight so far this year?
Hanging out with Toronto's own Eric McCormack of Will and Grace fame at Hemingways one cool late April Sunday evening.

Nice guy seriously. Funny, too.

Christmas Day 2006

So, KOS is in St. Catharines visiting with the parents for Christmas. KOS prefers to call the period between Dec. 24-26 "Christmas, but you can call it whatever you so desire.

It's always a great time of the year as far as KOS is concerned, mostly because people have the chance to basically "do nothing". It's too bad that people don't take advantage of a time of year where they can just sit back and veg.

KOS actually prefers to ,avoid big events with lots of people. I just prefer to sit back and recharge my batteries with no distractions. Maybe get some Chinese food (Thank God for Confuscious!), sit back and watch the traditional Christmas Day NBA game and rent some DVD's.

Being at my parents house I can sit back, watch movies, relax, and remember what it was like being a kid. Not that I'm not a kid at heart, but just embracing the memories of the carefree life you have as a kid.

I'm not sure what the time between Dec. 24-26 means to you, but that's pretty much what it means to KOS. No need for presents, no need for turkey ......... just time to wind down after a busy year.

Cheers!

He's No Superman!















James Marsden, Brandon Routh, and Kate Bosworth in Warner Bros. 'Superman Returns'

Look! Up in the Sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, it's James Marsden!

So, it's not to often that one gets to meet a real live 'Superman', but the King of Schmooze came pretty darn close on Aug. 15/06. Just stopping off at the mid-town palace I was greated by giddy servers and bartenders saying, "Cyclops is here!"

Now I'm thinking, "That's not a nice thing to say about 'Insert Name Here'!" but they're actually talking about James Marsden the actor. He did play Scott Summers/Cyclops in the X-Men movies which is where most people recognized him from. So I'm thinking, "Ok, so how hot is Famke Janssen now Jimmy!?".

So being the intrepid news hound that I am, well actually the shameless self-promoter who needs content for my blog .......... but I digress........ I head downstairs to the Library Bar at Hemingways to saddle up to the bar and listen to Jimmy regale the female staff members (who were finished working) with stories of his acting prowess.

Needless to say I didn't want to get in the middle of that so I just stayed off to the side and watched baseball highlights on The Score. I did manage to buy Mr. Marsden a pint of Hooegarden, which is what he was drinking. We then got into a brief conversation about baseball and the Boston Red Sox.

So enough of the bombast! All that to say 'The King of Schmooze is back in the building!'. As we approach the Sept. 7/06 launch of the Toronto International Film Festival, I thought it best to get the creative saliva flowing again. Just to remind people that I am the King of Schmooze!
