What I’m saying is, even with all of this Avengers nuttiness going on out there right now, it’s a bit of a challenge to get back into a normal rhythm after Hot Docs. That goes for every part of my weekly routine actually; what I watch, what I eat, what time I go to sleep. It’s a lot like having a week off work after pushing with all your might to get a big project done.
