As an added incentive for pledging my Blogathon efforts for the Surrey Food Bank from Saturday to Sunday, I decided to give away some tickets to the Vancouver Canadians game on August 4th (Mexico Night!) Watch the YouTube video below to see whose name was picked from the hat. Thanks again everyone! *Also, you can […]

My readers are amazing, seriously you guys are awesome. Over the last 24 hours I have: … had guest posts by J.J., Keira, Alanah, Isabella, Duane and John … received 59 comments on 49 blog posts (archived under ‘Blogathon‘) … blogged about hockey, gum and bunnies. … been linked from dozens of sites in support […]

This is it – one more to go after this! Just reading the “morning” news headlines and since I pretty much covered the fireworks and some of the post-firework hoopla in the podcast, here’s the ‘official’ word. It was also another busy night for Vancouver Police. Constable Howard Chow says there were over 430 liquor […]

No, actually blogging is NOT on Tourism Vancouver’s 100 Days of Summer fun guide, although it should be – I’m having a BLAST! Okay, well I don’t have enough energy for full “blast” status right now… how about a hoot? Yes, I’m having a hoot. July 30 – Cypress – Picnic in Cypress Provincial Park […]

I’m just scooping this right from John’s blog because he played it a little while ago and I can’t get it out of my head. It’s educational. Very educational. In case you’re unfamiliar with the band, They Might be Giants, you may recognize their song stylings from Tiny Toon Adventures‘ “Particle Man” and “Istanbul (not […]

Alanah sent this over to me. I’ve seen a couple makeup transformations before, including the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty mini-movie but this one’s just fun AND it comes with an animated .gif! It’s time for the big reveal for our unretouched cover-image contest, and, well, our winner is the July cover of Redbook, on […]

Ok, I’m not a racing or car knowing person at all, but these guys and gals (yes, gals!) were punching it up to 231 MPH in 6.5 seconds! Holy crap that’s fast! What’s really rattling is to see someone nearly lose control out of the start. That even freaked my out a little bit. The […]

iChat with Duane: duane: corinna gave me a big hug when I left last night duane: I like hugs duane: you and john don’t hug me rebecca: im not a huge hugger… it just reminds me of high school girls that are fake and would hug their friends with 1 arm at lunch.. and after […]

Not like I would forget but if you’re just logging onto the blog for the first time and wonder why I have over 40 posts so far over the last 24 hours… yeah I’m not just an eager blogger. The point to this entire day and night of madness is to get pledges. Like a […]

After being up for 20 hours, shiny, pretty and explosive things amuse me. I found out there’s a Flickr group for the HSBC Celebration of Light aka the fireworks here in town. I noticed Dave submitting his photos there. He had a great perspective for tonight’s since he wasn’t downtown but over in North Vancouver, […]
