It’s been that kind of day.
I truly hope it doesn’t, but it’s bound to happen- someone who’s dropped acid in the past will come across one of these people on the street and have a huge flashback and jump off a bridge. There are bizarre … Continue reading

Hockey night in Canada – for Switzerland & USA, anyway.
We saw the quarter-final game for men’s hockey today, and damn, I’m still not sure how it went! Last night, Canada murdered won over Germany like, 8-2. Today, it was 2-0 and the first two periods were boooooring. Finally, there … Continue reading

A Good Idea At The Time:
Buskers are lining the sides (and sometimes the middle) of Granville Street between West Georgia and Smith because the streets there have been restricted to foot traffic only, and right now they have a giant, continuous audience to fleece. Some … Continue reading

A pox on your (crappy) houses!
Man, what a mixed day. We went down to False Creek to see Maison Du Quebec, Saskachewan House, Russia House and the Ontario Pavilion. After yesterday’s lineups we knew what we were getting into… for the most part. It was … Continue reading
Stupid chain…
So, Jeff & I decided to drag our asses out of bed early today and go see Olympic stuff before the crowds gather and lineups form. Ha frickin’ ha. We were at the Royal Canadian Mint Pavilion before 8:05 and … Continue reading
Who watches the Watchers… who are watching the game?
Okay, I can’t say I blame the cops for paying attention to the ubiquitous screens showing the hockey games… But this is Ice Dancing.
This is why drugs are bad.
What’s really weird is that more than one person thought that this was a super idea.
Filthy dirty Jeff.
For Valentine’s day, I bought Jeff a little Olympic mascot – the hairy, fuzzy little Quatchi troll-doll looking thing. Jeff loved his gift and Quatchi is now enjoying his place of honor, dangling from the zipper on Jeff’s computer bag. … Continue reading
Jeff is gonna get that fish, eventually.
Vancouver has this ongoing art project where every year or two unique and interesting statues pop up all over town. They’re always based on a wildlife theme and are decorated in interesting ways be a multitude of local and not-so-local … Continue reading
Amazing – but not in a good way.
Just amazing – the Olympic cauldron is beautifully designed and executed, and even during the day it’s dramatic and impressive. Here’s the stupid part: The powers-that-be here in Vancouver have decided to block off a huge area around the Cauldron, … Continue reading
Gastown Hospitality at its best:
It’s not my thing, but at least they’re being generous.

Olympic Vandalism & Endless Human Stupidity
I would very much like to find the cowardly jackass(es) who thought this was a good idea. The Bay at Granville & West Georgia that contains the HBC Olympic store was vandalized this morning when red paint was thrown on … Continue reading

Crowds… everywhere.
I walked around a bunch today after getting Jeff squared away and, can I just say it? Holy cats, there’s A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE.
I can’t un-see a giant flaming joint now…
I walked Jeff to work this morning and we had good timing – the Olympic Torch Relay came down Granville pretty much at the same time. We even managed to luck into a spot that had comparatively few tourons about … Continue reading

Exceptionally weird stuff, in a cuddly sort of way.
Only in Vancouver, people. Jeff and I frequently hike around Vancouver and especially the downtown core. This town has a very hippy-dippy, artsy-fartsy kind of culture, and while there’s always a weird sculpture or mural on every block, this truly … Continue reading
