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 [...]

I (heart) the Arbutus Coffee
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.
As for me, I’ll always keep fond memories of this movie. We were lucky enough to have a VCR recorder back in the days and [...]
Me, Myself and I
Todd Richards‘ life has been documented in the upcoming “Me, Myself and I” by award winning movie director Josh Landan. Ok I’ll admit it I don’t know much about either of them, but I am determined to do something about it!
“Me, Myself and I” is the life story of Todd Richards, a guy who started [...]
Tout va bien, Tim Barber
I promise I don’t mean to steal Vancouver Is Awesome’s work but this blog is so cool I could share all their posts!
They recently mentioned this photographer that I didn’t know about, mind you it’s not like I know many photographer… His name is Tim Barber and is work looks stunning, here you can check [...]
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 [...]
