Stress!!!

Posted by tigersluv on Mar 6, 2010 in Random, Vancouver, BC

I hate stress.  I hate not being able to just relax and do what I want to do.  I hate when I think of something to do, and have it all planned out – then something else enters the picture (beyond my control) and I have to alter plans, which then affects everything else.  I [...]

Choose Where You Eat Carefully

Posted by tigersluv on Feb 20, 2010 in Random

The following is the list of those that have and those that have not changed their prices for these rich man games.  I’m sad to see so many of my favourite places taking advantage of this opportunity to gouge the heck out of people (are they practicing for the hst?)
Thanks to spiffle for this list [...]

Day 6

Posted by tigersluv on Feb 18, 2010 in Random

It is day 6 of the games. So far it has been fun. I have chosen to avoid the long lines. I have learned to never complain about the 5$ cup of beer (7.50 now) and I’ve learned that Vancouver can be a fun place to walk around on weekends.
I was disappointed in Canada House [...]

Welcome to Canada

Posted by tigersluv on Feb 13, 2010 in Humour, Random

Last night’s opening ceremonies were great.  My favourite of course was kd Lang singing Hallelujah.  Nobody can sing it like her and send the shivers throughout your soul the way she can.  We did something right.  The best part of the show to me was Shane Koyzcan doing his peace on what defines Canada and [...]

And the Sign Said…

Posted by tigersluv on Jan 28, 2010 in Canada eh, Musing, Random, Vancouver, BC

Olympics 2010 are almost here.  Tomorrow they are closing the last of the street access in my neighborhood.  Tonight was my last chance to go to Costco (which I can see from my house) but I was too lazy and too tired to go.  There’s nothing like working all day and being busy, then going [...]

The Games They Play Causes My Head to Shake

Posted by tigersluv on Jan 19, 2010 in Random

The Olympics are almost upon us.  I am getting in shape – dodging requests to stay with me by strangers.  I actually had someone I barely knew (met them at a meeting in Quebec City years ago) email me and ask me if they could stay with me for the Olympics.  Oh, if I had [...]

More Love For Sears

Posted by tigersluv on Oct 11, 2009 in Random

Sears Canada call centre for catalogue orders in Regina, Sk closed on Sept. 17/09. That left 250 people out of jobs. The call centre in Belleville, On. was also closed leaving 230 people without jobs. Now when you call your order in you will be speaking to people in the Phillipines. That’s right folks Sears [...]

The Beat Goes On

Posted by tigersluv on Oct 4, 2009 in Musing, Random

It’s been a while since I made an entry. I have spent the last three and a half weeks recovering from surgery. While I always thought it would be great to just have some time at home to do all those things on “the list” – this wasn’t that time. I wasn’t [...]

Officially Jealous

Posted by tigersluv on Jul 13, 2009 in Random

I am not necessarily the jealous type, but I wish I was in Winnipeg for their four day folkfest right now. Their line up is spectacular – Ridley Bent, Arlo Guthrie, Elvis Costello, Neko Case, King Sunny Ade, Loreena McKennitt, Josh Ritter, Xavier Rudd, Serena Ryder, Loudon Wainwright III and Martha Wainright are just a [...]

I Shake My Head

Posted by tigersluv on Jul 13, 2009 in Random

Today I decided to ditch the brown bag and eat at my favourite sushi restaurant. I actually call my order in and then go pick it up, thus eliminating any waiting time. There was a woman (who I know from the office) standing in front of me. Her total order came to $4.57. She proceeded [...]
