16.04.10 on the way to seattle...

we encountered a buffalo. a stuffed one with a canada flag on its back that was leashed to a bench with a blue rope at the truck crossing duty free. and the sign said not to feed it? i think that was the least of its worries.

04.04.10 happy easter, gangsta!

while searching for the lost lindt chocolate bunny last week, i encountered a lindt bunny gangster hiding among the civilian lindt bunnies. good thing the chocolate stool pigeons were sitting on a different shelf.

that first photo is of the eggs that the hostess of the workshop had made. wicked cool.
in march, a coworker and i went to a workshop to learn how to make ukrainian eggs in hopes that we would teach the kids. so far, we've taught the 7th grade, my little sister and her family. it's fun once you get the hang of it!

ugh.

so it's 9am on saturday morning and i'm trying in vain to get rid of this cold.  it's always during a vacation or a four day weekend that i get the most sick.  i gotta stop being good at things.  if the boss wants a job to be done right, he turns to a few key people on the staff... me included.  and most of the time, the job is something particularly meticulous and it just can't be done half-ass.  i guess i made my own bed, i should sleep in it.  i just wish i could do a phenomenal job and NOT get sick in the process.  that's it, time for another resolution: from now on, i will only do mediocre work.

haha yeah right ;p

happy saturday, folks.  and happy easter!  hope you spend this weekend with family and good friends.  and i'd like to give a shout out to jesus: thanks.

28.02.10 sochi balloon (it wasn't televised!)

about 175 of us were selected to carry these huge balloons in the sochi portion of the closing ceremony. when that supermodel waved her magic wand during the end of that orchestra bit, we were instructed to pop them by activating the detonator (that cylinder thing i'm holding). yes, they were full of confetti. and more importantly, i got to keep the track suit! go sochi 2014!

28.02.10 watching the game at "the compound"

the hiphop core that i'm dancing with tonight crowded around one of 3 flatscreens here in tent #1. also, the made in canada cast that will be performing tonight as well. hope the ceremony will be delayed!

26.02.10 at the USA house

i quite enjoyed partying at the USA house (thanks yuen!). i got to meet most of the male athletes from the speedskating team and they are really nice! the other perks were the buffet (scallops, lamb chops, ravioli, cocktail shrimp, dessert... mmmm), open bar with generous pours, the mc café, and pringle chips in every flavour!
and there was a huge flatscreen.
wish i could have stayed longer but the sandman beckoned. plus i took heavy advantage of the open bar ;)

21.02.10 olympic fun PRICELESS

these are just highlights of what i saw as i walked around downtown last night, after giving up on lining up at republic for too long (and not being anywhere near getting in). note: there are way more hiLArious things vancouver... they just were not appropriate to post ie. my friend posing at a sign with an arrow that said "eat here".

18.02.10 sochi house reprise

ah! it must have been because the restaurant was "not working"! ;)
i thought that sign was pretty funny. actually, there was quite a commotion because mr. colbert was there doing a segment for his show. that guy is so funny. can't wait to watch what he airs next week.

18.02.10 sochi house

science world, as we locals know it, has been transformed into russia's sochi house. the line moved quickly but the inside was packed! maybe it was because of the russia hockey hall of fame tours, maybe it was because of the free russian movies they were playing on the imax, maybe because of that elusive cherub... sk... ummm yeah i can't spell that mascot's name. well it has big ears. anyway, it was pretty neat in there.
