Sick as a dog…

It’s been that kind of day.

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.

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

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
