Tonight on the Knowledge Network: 12 Takes, a half dozen BC filmmakers’ takes on a dozen BC artists, from Jenn Strom’s whimsical, animated exploration of the works of Nick Bantock, to Kevin Eastwood’s lively overview of the pop art of Douglas Coupland, to John Bolton’s visually uncompromising study of the design and architecture of Omer […] →Read more
Someone asked me this the other day and I don’t actually know the answer to this question. I was going to count them, but then I thought, why not make it a contest first? Guess how many pairs of shoes I own! You have until 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on Thursday (September 23, 2010) ((Only […] →Read more

I also have a tendency to experience petechia when I barf – the blood vessels in the skin around my eyes […] →Read more
