Today I came to work with a sign posted on the building. The TV show Shattered was filming in the Parking Garage Roof next door. Today's scene involves a car chase with police and fake guns in more than typical Vancouver weather, and screaming in area behind. I am lucky enough to get a bird's eye-ish view on … Continue reading Shattered

Concert: U2 with guests the Black Eyed Peas
On Wednesday October 28th I saw the long-awaited U2 360 Tour, Vancouver concert. My friends on the east coast had been posting pictures and updates as U2 slowly made their way across the continent making me completely jealous, and it created more anticipation as the days grew closer. I own the U2 Live at Slane … Continue reading Concert: U2 with guests the Black Eyed Peas
Sky Dancing
This post is a bit delayed, I really wish I'd known about it ahead of time. I saw this "rehearsal" on the way to a friends place on Monday October 5th. I think its pretty darn amazing. The director was lying down on the ground with a megaphone shouting directions at the aerial acrobats, and … Continue reading Sky Dancing
Did that really happen?
Its not a full moon, but that's usually the first thing people suspect when something like this goes down. I was at work early this morning, shortly after 8am. My boss and I were getting ready for a presentation for a potential client. He parked outside the door rather than at his usual parkade so … Continue reading Did that really happen?
Seattle: Music, Jim Henson and Frank O. Gehry
On Saturday I took the Quick Shuttle from Vancouver to Seattle and back again, on a journey to actually venture in to see the Experience Music Project/Science Fiction Museum (EMP/SFM), specifically the Jim Henson Exhibit. (If you've never taken the Quick Shuttle, its a pretty nice experience, inexpensive and though the border can take some … Continue reading Seattle: Music, Jim Henson and Frank O. Gehry
99 1/2
Tuesday was a highlight for me with a very unusual celebration. Edgar is a retired member of the Delta Concert Band who still comes out to watch us play, even though we've moved our location from the Ladner Community Centre to Seaquam Secondary. He drives out every Tuesday to listen to us play, because he … Continue reading 99 1/2
Wake-Up Call
5 am this morning I was woken up to the Fire Alarm. I quickly put on some outdoorsy clothes, grabbed my purse, locked my door (I can never remember if I'm supposed to do that...) and stepped lightly down the 8 floors of stairs to get outside. Most people stayed in the lobby, or in … Continue reading Wake-Up Call

Go Canucks Go!
Its official, the playoffs are here. This morning at my 7am walk to the gym, I discovered that Canuck Fans have hit the streets early, waving flags and handing out hand towels with the Vancouver Canucks Logo in support of our city's hockey team. Many a horn honked their support while I stopped to take … Continue reading Go Canucks Go!
Balloon Man
My brother arrived the weekend of the Juno Awards, which took place in Vancouver. For three days leading up to the televised broadcast on Sunday, Graville Street was converted into a large musical block party, between Nelson and Robson streets. It was a great time, though I missed getting my West Jet scratch and win … Continue reading Balloon Man
My Quirky Vancouver
I love this city. Vancouver has been my home for the last 18 months, and I'm still not tired of it. Its been at least a year since I've stopped being the tourist and become more like the citizen I ought to be. Still I find that everywhere I look, there is something to see. … Continue reading My Quirky Vancouver
Book Review: The Highly Sensitive Person by Elaine Aron
Its been a while since I've written in this blog, and not because I haven't read bits and pieces here and there. But it occurred to me that perhaps I should write a bit about a very informative book. Elaine N. Aron wrote a book called The Highly Sensitive Person. In personal discussion, a friend … Continue reading Book Review: The Highly Sensitive Person by Elaine Aron
The Great Purge
For all you bloggers who read my blog (the very few of you), you would be shocked to know that I purged my books. I am a reader and a writer (of sorts) and I'm moving across the large Canadian countryside to beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia. Which poses a problem. I have a lot of … Continue reading The Great Purge
Book Review: The Farseer – Assassin’s Apprentice by Robin Hobb
Finally, she held up one that was like a silver bit of net with a blue stone caught in it. She made a face over it, then nodded reluctantly. "That man has taste. Whatever else he lacks, he has taste." She held it up to my ear again, and with absolutely no warning, thrust the … Continue reading Book Review: The Farseer – Assassin’s Apprentice by Robin Hobb
Book Review: The Stand by Stephen King
'You are to go west,' Mother Abagail whispered. 'You are to take no food, no water. You are to go this very day, and in the clothes you stand up in. You are to go on foot. I am in the way of knowing that one of you will not reach your destination, but I … Continue reading Book Review: The Stand by Stephen King
