Episode two follows game 4 of the Canucks season. The Crazy Canucks, (Alanah, John, JJ and I) get together for another podcast full of incite into the world of the Canucks and a little inuendo to get us giggling. We're missing Dave O on this one but he'll be back soon enough.Recording took place just after the 2-1 (SO) loss to the Minnesota Wild earlier tonight, so we talked about the game a

I learned all about American history from watching Alvin and the Chipmunks [wiki]. Ya know the one where Theodore is studying for his exam and his brothers help him out by telling stories and re-enacting history?Yeah... Canadian Thanksgiving doesn't involve pilgrims but it does involve turkey. Lots o' turkey. This is John's second Thanksgiving (Canadian style) so he decided to do a little write

Seems I've scored me an interview with the band Aberdeen City [aberdeenmusic] while they're here in Vancouver as a part of their 2006 North American tour.I first heard about the band when I met John - who always plays great up and coming tunes on his podcast, Radiozoom. They had a self-produced, self-released EP in 2003, We Learned By Watching and 2 EPs & one LP in 2005. They then released The

Alanah from Vancouver Canucks Op Ed (and fellow CrazyCanuck) gave our shining new goalie that name and it's stuck.She's got a recap of last night's WONDERFUL game posted over on the site [VCOE]. We played defensively and still had a lot of offense - Naslund scored with his head (literally) and Linden scored his 300th as a Canuck.

That's what my Oma (grandma) said to us last night. She said that even Surrey is getting too big for her, "I'm not a city girl". She grew up in a small village in what was then Yugoslavia. After meeting my Opa (grandpa), having my aunt and mother, the family moved to Canada in the 1950s. They started out in Regina then packed up the car and moved out west. They lived in East Vancouver (

Becky has been demanding a post about pumpkin patches, and apparently because I have 3 little ones I am an authority on the matter. I thought I'd enlist their help but when asked which places they preferred I got a few shoulder shrugs and an 'I unno'. After some prodding they offered that they didn't like the muddy one because their boots got stuck.When Alexis was a preschooler we visited a place

Tonight... it begins... the 2006/2007 NHL season - boy howdy! Buffalo's in Carolina, Ottawa's in Toronto, Dallas is in Colorado and I'm in Surrey. Yeah, I'll be taking the train out there tonight for some family business... so I'll miss every one (with their 4, 430pm start times) and probably catch the tail end of the Stars/Avs who hit the ice at 7pm PT.The podcast last night was really fun,

We kick off the first episode (now you can stop listening to the teaser audio on loop). JJ, Alanah, Dave, John and I begin with a 20 minute podcast (all conferenced in via Skype) about a couple topics in anticipation of the season that's about to lift off. We gather all the members for this episode, even catching DaveO on his way home from work, live via cellphone. We take a look at how we’ve

Since yesterday was so busy, I've decided today is my Monday. I'm a pretty laid back person but sometimes I just let things get to me or things just build up and up to the point where they're just plain annoying and I want them to go away.

I haven't 'napped' in ages. We participated in the Run for the Cure [mbv] earlier that morning and our team raised about $3,200 at last count. Good stuff.I'm

The other night we walked home from the Metroblogging Meetup [mbv], which was held in Kits this time around. We tasted yummy bagel creations at Seigel's bagels then headed over to the Taco Shack for more conversation and fish tacos.We returned home to the West End via the Burrard Bridge, where John wanted to "pose" for the Katkam.

Those who know me, know that I have a *slight* hearing problem. When I was 18 I went to the ear, nose'n throat doctor guy because my hearing in my right ear was really bad. He said I had a deviated septum (probably from being bashed around on the rugby pitch) and my ear drum was a lil wonky. I was then sent for further tests at St. Mary's in New Westminster (the hospital that was demolished

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 an article about the latest edition of Monopoly. The article conjures up some fun memories of rainy

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 about the Matthew Good living room show.In the post "Matthew Good Goes Bye-Bye" they detail the events leading up to Matt's

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 shootout, 4-3). It was a great time, even met up with JJ from the Canucks Hockey Blog and he bought John 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 or shows that showcase infidelity, but the way the multiple life and love stories were

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 was recapping our 'Vancouver Trivia' from last night's podcast [radiozoom].

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 out to the show as well.

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 mention something about the time I was listening to an old Christmas tape, which had audio of her and my brother (at

It features a couple songs that were played at our wedding so of course I got all sappy and was complete mush but the time I got to the office.I bought John's birthday present yesterday.

BE A SNOW PATROL TOUR REPORTER!!We are looking for some creative Snow Patrol fans to help us document the band's tour experiences over the next few weeks. One lucky winner will be selected from each town that the band are playing in this September, to be our official 'Snow Patrol Tour Reporter'.Each tour reporter selected will get a ticket and a photo pass for the Patrol show in their home town

Last night John downloaded iTunes 7 for his Mac (and I succumbed this morning, after much peer pressure). I watched as he highlighted over 800 albums and in one click was able to start the 'get album art' process. There's a feature that lets you flip through your albums as though you're sitting in front of a 100+ disk CD changer - and that's just the eye candy. It's got way more bells and

Last night we caught Big Brother and Rockstar at Laura's house-sitting-house while playing Trivial Pursuit, 90s Edition. I can't believe John didn't get the questions about the Melissa and Michaelangelo virii and he can't believe I got the Henry Kissenger question right. We stayed there way too late then walked home around midnight from Yaletown to the West End. Got in bed with about 6 hours

John told me yesterday that Apple was going to have some fancy swanky announcements today. He's just given me the scoop, saying "that's some hot sh*t" and being altogether way too excited, but with good reason.Tiny, 1.62 inch iPod shuffles and multi-coloured 8gb Nanos (for starters) [apple]. I'm sure he'll be posting a big lovely in-depth post about all the new products but I just had to gush (

In line with such silly geeky posts as those verification codes you can never read [604] and battle of the fonts [604] I find myself compelled to comment about something I was reading on RantVancouver yesterday. In the comment section of one of the rants, someone put "IAWTP".Buh? I fear I may be out of touch with the buzz words/acronyms of today or maybe I'm just not cool or 14 ... I don't see

After working last night, sitting alone in the office at my desk, tempted to stick tissues up my nose because I was too busy to be bothered to blow it any longer, I called in sick.John is getting a little run down as well. It's worse for anything to happen to him since his current immigration status prevents him from getting medical coverage or even being on my benefits plan from work. The last

It seems I've become I'm somewhat of a local 'blogebrity'.

I read something today on Beyond Robson that didn't particularly inspire this post but it prompted me to write it. It picked at a sore spot that I've been avoiding for a while now, although it's always been there, just waiting to erupt into a blog post. This edition of 'is anyone here actually FROM here' is about the weather.Remember when it was just grey for 11 months of the year? It seems as

I've been checking the concert listings in Vancouver lately and they seem kinda dull - although there are a few gems we're going to check out later this month [604]. It seems like I completely missed out on some GREAT shows when I was living in Boston. I've only been to the Middle East once and I should have been there 5 times a week, definitely the best little venue in that city. Every big and

I am not an expert on the subject but since I have been a part of the blogging realm for the last two years I feel like I can say something.There are so many different types of blogs out there and it feels like... there's blog-cliques. People who stick together, link to each other, have blogrolls full of the same people. Not that it's a bad thing - it's just something I've definitely noticed

So this is the day. The first day of the rest of my life at work without Laura. I remember when she first started here, she said she thought I was a bitch. I guess I could come off that way... I'm just shy :p We went shopping after work one day last summer and the friendship started. Laura's always got your back man - even if she's telling you that a) your tits are hanging out of your top or b)

I will be participating in the Run for the Cure October 1st in downtown Vancouver. Last year it was on a special day... not only was it my first year doing the run and raising money for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, but shortly thereafter I drove out to the airport to pick up my then soon-to-be-husband upon his arrival in Vancouver. This year, he'll be joining me on the run.If you

Along the same lines... we caught Corner Gas the other day and they had a Littlest Hobo reference. Now both theme songs are stuck in my head.

This is turning into a rather heated debate (and I know I should probably just post something on Rant!Vancouver about it) but I thought I would open the discussion up here (even though I've blogged about it before). If anything, just to direct you to the post I have on Metroblogging [MBV]....about the Pattullo Bridge.I talk a lot about Vancouver. I also talk a lot about Surrey - in a positive

I was reading feeds on my Google home page and came across one over at CBC News about John menacing the coast of Mexico. Which made me think of my husband and then made me wish we could have afforded a nice honeymoon to some place like that. But then of course I floated back from la-la-land and read the article about the rather serious threat the storm imposes [cbc]. Then I felt bad and

Not the poofy kind, but the hard n' crunchy kind (Hawkins).I find I'm starting to rate different construction sites since I walk through about 5 of them just on my way to and from work.

I mainly listen to podcasts when we're lying in the sun on the beach. I must admit the Onion Radio News [onion] has GOT to be one of my faves. Quick, short, witty, making us giggle out loud. John usually peppers the playlist with CNN and NPR 5 minute updates so when the Onion comes on, it makes it that much more enjoyable.I mentioned Benjamin Walker's Theory of Everything [toeradio] a little

Spent time with my sister, her kids and my mom yesterday. It was completely awesome but completely tiring. John and I have barely been home in the last two weeks and it shows. Lack of sleep and lack of down time is really starting to wear on us.Tuesday night we went to the Metroblogging Meetup at Library Square Public house [mbv]. There were only a few people there but it was still good.

Laura and I ventured to Chinatown on our lunch break to pic up some cream/coconut buns, steamed buns and weiner buns. It was a bun-ny good time. In the meantime, I received an annonymous comment in regards to the "Andy" google search mystery (of sorts).As noted on the Drudge Report, there's word of a major shake up over at Saturday Night Live [snl] which will see four cast members lose their

I was having a bit of a grumpy morning. Last night we made some cheese bread in the toaster oven. At one point John thought someone was BBQ’ing outside but then we soon realized that a small fire has ignited under one of the slices. The butter n’ jammed toast he then made me this morning tasted like smoldering cheese.I need coffee. The sales guys are probably going down to s‘bucks soon and

Just as I was wondering whatever happened to my 'major prize' from Dose.ca [604], I arrived home and there was a Purolator slip at my door. We just ventured down to pick up my Muse prize pack: an autographed poster and entire discography.Thanks Dose.ca!

A while back I posted about the 9 o'clock gun [604] (which still makes me jump at 9pm if I'm not paying attention). Well there's something else that happens EVERY day in Vancouver (at 12, noon on the nose) that you may or may not notice. After bringing it to my attention a few months ago, Laura's done some research and figured out the source....I found out today that it is actually produced

Holly McNarland's 6 song EP is now available for download from the iTunes music store [iTunes]. We're still awaiting her studio album, "Chin Up Buttercup" but I think Komrade Sessions will be able to keep us satisfied until Chin Up's much-anticipated release in the spring of 2007.Holly McNarland will be releasing a 6 song EP called "The Komrade Sessions".

When it rains it pours. But of course I'm not referring to the current weather in Vancouver and I don't want to jinx anything.What I'm referring to is networking, contacts, getting new content going and being really happy with where this whole 'blogging' thing is taking me. I know I've complained about my day job in the past (and it still totally sucks) but that's all it is, a day job.

Super quick post about the new Miss604.com look. My wicked banner-maker-husband dude [audihertz] hooked me up again so I changed my colour scheme to make it all look nice n'flowy. I'll be updating again in a couple months, probably with a nice shiney 'welcome to hockey season' theme.

John and I haven't been to the Fogg since the last Canucks game of the season (and MAN that was AGES ago). During that last visit, our frequent beer-filler-upper-server guy led the two of us over to their 'swag cabinet' and let us raid it since we'd been such good Canuck fans during the season (and spending at least $70 there each week while watching games). We walked away with a flag, two

On our way to the Pride Parade last weekend [604] I was handed a 'free gift' by a marketing street team. I did not refuse the 'free gift' and state: "bloggers have some kind of higher standard" and "I cannot be bought"! [metblog].

My perfume ran out yesterday. It's the same kind I've been wearing since I lived in Boston. It's the end of an era, the end of a scent.I'm not sure if I'll venture out to get anything new... I have a brand new bottle of Ralph Lauren Romance that I haven't touched so I put that on today. It's a little more bold than my last perfume *sigh* and as John put it this morning it's like a "perfume bomb

It's about time I post about the trip to Seattle last night to see Real Madrid take on DC United eh? [604]3 more hours to go and I'm fading fast. Yesterday (after working since 7am) I hopped on the skytrain in the afternoon and headed toward Surrey. It took a little longer than expected since 4 of 6 ticket machines were down at Waterfront station and I was not the first person to get there.
