Since its national inception in 2002, the CanWest Raise-a-Reader campaign has raised more than $5 million for family literacy programs across Canada…

On Raise a Reader Days, people in lovely yellow shirts line the streets and for a donation of [...]

4 days to go until the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation Run for the Cure. John and I will be running [604] and I’m still about 70 bucks short of my fundraising goal. If the cause appeals to you, you want to show some support, get a nice tax receipt and know you’re benefitting [...]

While lying in the physiotherapists office this morning I picked up Time magazine. I find it a good read for the few minutes I’m left alone with some electrode type thing stuck to my messed up back. After reading about what might become my new favourite show, Studio 60 [wiki], I came across [...]

John and I got JJ on the line from the Canucks Hockey Blog - a throwback to our last hockey blogger podcast with Vancouver Canucks Op Ed [604]

A Skype interview with blogger J.J. Guerrero from the Canucks Hockey Blog, [we] learn more about the guy behind the blog, why he loves the Vancouver Canucks, and [...]

After the wonderful weekend and radio experience last night, I’m having such a Monday - it ain’t even funny. Work is work, which we all know (for me) is nothing special at all. On top of that I was checking out some blogs and ran into a post on the Georgia Straight blog [...]

Spoiled boy I have. Thursday night, Snow Patrol. Friday night, dinner at parents. Saturday night, dinner with friends. Sunday night, Canucks game. Somewhere in there, I got John a couple presents, a hair cut, and dyed my hair blond. We just got home from the game (which we won in a [...]

We ended up seeing a movie late last night, The Last Kiss [imdb]. It was okay, it’s been dubbed “Garden State II” [imdb] because of the Zach Braff [imdb] involvement but the only similarities were the style of the film and the soundtrack (which are both awesome) [amazon]. I usually have problems with movies [...]

While out in Surrey this evening, we got our paws on a copy of the Georgia Straight’s Best of Vancouver edition. We browsed through, agreed with some picks, strongly disagreed with others (eg. my dad and John could not believe that Beaver Lake was best urban oasis).
While on the topic of things Vancouver, I [...]

We threw together an episode tonight before the concert.

[John's] birthday is coming up on Sunday, and we’ll be attending the Canucks game againt Anaheim in celebration. We get into a variety of topics, including Vancouver Trivia as [John's] one year anniversary in Vancouver is quickly approaching [radiozoom]

Work is pretty damn busy this morning BUT, it’s my Friday today! John’s birthday-long-weekend starts at 4pm (as soon as I leave the office). Tonight is Snow Patrol and I’m not the tour reporter [604] but of course I’ll be blogging about it tomorrow. Hopefully we can get to doing a podacst before heading [...]

When I was little I used to listen to tapes to help me sleep. I don’t mean they were “you’re getting very sleepy” tapes, but just music in general although the spoken word Dylan Thomas tape always did the trick as well. I also know that when reading this my sister is going to [...]
