You may remember Shalu from such blog postings as her wedding two years ago. So why is she having a bachelorette party TWO YEARS after her wedding, I hear you ask? Well, Shalu never got a bachelorette because she had to go to India for a family emergency before her wedding, and her friend Andrea […]
Yesterday was “phase 3” of Vancouver 2010 Olympic ticket sales ((Phase 3 was supposed to happen the previous Saturday, but there computer system was b0rked, so they made it yesterday instead.)). I hadn’t tried to buy tickets in phases 1 or 2 ((although my friend Rachel got a bunch of tickets in phase 2, so […]
Just saw this on Twitter and it was too funny not to share with you: And when you follow the link, you get this search result from the Vancouver Public Library’s catalog: In truth, I think it’s the Toronto Maple Leaf *players* that need those books, rather than fans. And I just tried to do […]
After my second weekend in a row spent on the Island, then a drive out to Aggasiz for a meeting this morning, and then a beach-side run this evening, I have to say – I heart you British Columbia. The fall colours are really starting to come in, making drives to ferry terminals and through […]

HOV, for the uninitiated, refers to the “High Occupancy Vehicles.” On highway 1 in Vancouver, you are required to have 2 or more people in your car ((or you can be on a motorcycle)) to use the HOV lane. But here’s the thing – Smart cars have only 2 seats. Thus, when I’m driving by […]
In celebration of Pride weekend, Kalev, Tod and I marched in the parade with PFLAG: For the record, I’m the short one with the hat. Image credit: Posted on Flickr by vl04.
As you may know, 7/11 gives away free Slurpees on July 11 (i.e., 7/11) every year. Which just happens to be my half birthday. Last year, Kalev and I decided to walk around downtown Vancouver, going to as many 7/11s as we could to acquire free frozen sugary goodness. This year, we decided that walking […]
