I (heart) the Arbutus Coffee

I have an announcement to make: the Arbutus Coffee rocks!
I was in my house on Sunday driving myself crazy. Before I reached the point of nervous fit I took Girlyman (that’s my computer) and jumped on my bike.
I have been avoiding coming to the Arbutus Coffee to work because as far as I knew, they [...]

Louie Vito in Dancing With the Stars

In case you were in coma last week, I am going to post this as well.
Snowboard champion Louie Vito competed in ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and he did a fine job! Granted he is not a great dancer but this shows exactly what I like about the snowboard world: people who are not afraid of [...]

Grouse Mountain and the quiet revolution

In case you didn’t get out of your house yesterday (or you are not in Vancouver. You fool!) the city almost got wiped out by some rather strong winds. Ok maybe not ‘wiped out’, nevertheless my hair and make up were all over the place after I finished walking down Davie Street and I can [...]

Point Break and Sunday nostalgia (RIP Patrick Swayze)

I read this beautiful article in Huck this week. If you have a hard time understanding why some people loved and still love ‘Point Break’, Tors Arnold explains it rather well.

Tofino, camping, surf and sunshine

I waited all summer and it was so worth it! Nevermind September showers, nevermind the fact that money hasn’t been very good lately, we couldn’t let summer go without going to Tofino and surf and least once this year…
It didn’t start off all that well. On Friday, we arrived at Horseshoe Bay at 11.30 for [...]

Douglas Coupland

I won 2 tickets for last night’s CBC Book Club radio show with Douglas Coupland and it was swee-eet!
I read and loved Generation X and City of Glass, the latter I read right before moving to Vancouver, as you do. I wish my mind was as brilliant and creative as his. Douglas Coupland can handle [...]

Neverland screening report

Warning: ‘Neverland’ spoiler in this post!
When ‘Neverland’ was announced as one of the biggest snowboard movies of the year, the word got out pretty quickly. The huge line up outside 5th avenue cinema on Thursday night wasn’t really a surprise. In fact the word went round so quickly that too many tickets were sold [...]
