The following is a guest post written by the President of the Vancouver Sherlock Holmes society, The Stormy Petrels.
It has come to my attention that there are two new Sherlock Holmes movies in the works. This is always good news to Sherlockians - fans of the great detective.
Downey, who earned raves for the action blockbuster [...]

My episode of The Lab with Leo was one of the last ones produced before the show ceased to be but I was very lucky and proud to be a small part of it all.
I admit, I was probably the most nervous I have been in a really long time when we recorded this [...]

I was contacted earlier this week by the CBC, wanting to do a story about my blog but looking for some unique angles. Turns out the most prominent discussion on my blog at the moment is about the Dana Carvey Surrey Girl Joke so they wanted to talk about that, and I was more than [...]

Surrey’s made its way onto popular American late night television before, I hear there was even a reference to Surrey Girls on one of David Letterman’s “Top Ten” lists although I can’t seem to find it in the archives. My sister informed me today that a few days ago Dana Carvey gave us (and hundreds [...]

I think I’ve had maybe 3 pedicures in my life, most recently at Element in Yaletown with Keira just before her birthday back in December. It was lovely and I particularly loved sitting in massage chairs, getting the royal treatment from the knee down and spending some down time with a friend.

Anyone who has passed by the intersection of Georgia and Hornby may have noticed [...]

This post was written for happyfrog at the EPIC Sustainable Living Expo
At this time yesterday Mike Holmes was in Toronto redoing a roof and getting a sunburn.
Although we can’t control our flip flopping weather in Vancouver, this city was sure grateful for Mike’s appearance. I had the chance to take some notes during his [...]

I wrote this post by request (although it was my pleasure) for the happy frog and EPIC expo blogs
The man behind the crusade for the honest homeowner is Mike Holmes, and he’ll be on the main stage at the EPIC Sustainable Living Expo this Saturday.

For the last seven seasons I’ve tuned into HGTV’s Holmes on [...]

Although my involvement with The Lab was brief and only just a few days ago, I can still appreciate what they’ve done over the years.

I had the pleasure of meeting Amber Mac a few months ago when we were both members of Team Blogger on CBC’s Test the Nation (which makes some of my [...]

SWEEP! SWEEP! SWEEP! That was the chant when it was announced that our celebrity, Samantha Bee and teammate Rick Spence were both crowned top scorers at the end of the night. We were still awaiting the final team results but the bloggers were feeling pretty good at that point.

Throughout the evening our team [...]

Just got back from the CBC and am thawing out in my hotel. Several of the Vancouver bloggers had to leave right from the set once the show was over since they fly out tonight. I’m lucky to have a morning flight, a morning flight that isn’t too early no less.
I have photos to [...]
