Give Me Love In The Mornin’ Light

Posted by on April 13, 2006 No comments

Ah yes… G. Love really did say it right.

Fantastic show, fantastic band. A little impromptu night out for Meg (I was wearing my rain galoshes, which I enjoy a lot, and my brother's oversized, very large rain coat) when I decided to hop on down to the Commodore to check this band out. (I haven't missed a week at this joint in about 7 weeks – I really meant it when I said I'd take advantage of being back in Van and see as much live music as possible). I was also being summoned from several directions to get my arse down there fast, so I did. And sadly, the show was sold out, BUT WAIT! This lovely girl appeared out of the abyss and handed me a ticket and said, "You can just have this one". Um, wow? My concert guardian angel. Good fortune is on my side. This luck just keeps on a-comin'. So I bought the lovely lady a g&t once on the inside.

What a show. What a CUTE man. What a band. What music. The perfect blend of hip-hop, blues, rap, rock, groove – love it. Who knew? Sorry no pic of mine to go along with this one. Coming soon. Check out some tunes and vids.

Go indulge. Have a listen to a little G. Love.

And I’m choked about it.
Just played my first match of the season, tennis, that is, with my best pal Kel. My new league has commenced. I have to admit, I haven’t really played a whole hell of a lot over the last 7-8 months, with the whole changing of cities, travelling a lot, being transient and unsettled, and the life situation overall. Prior to that, I played at a club in the Toon last summer, but had not touched the sport competitively in about a decade before that. I am happy to brag that in SK, I was undefeated with my stellar and fabulous partner Lil. So yesterday’s loss of 6-1, 6-0 was a SHOCK! And I’m mad. And disappointed. Boo. I haven’t lost like that since I was, oh, I dunno, 7 years old or somethin, when I couldn’t even keep score or barely hold a bloody racquet.
Where’s my head?

I Hear Seagulls.

So I'm comfortably sitting in my new office, here at Raincity Studios, surrounded by oodles of fabulous natural light pouring in from the large, old windows in this beautiful, historic building, The Seymour Building (the original) in downtown Vancouver, and I look to my right and see a slice of Coal Harbour and the snowcapped North Shore mountains, while the wall directly behind me is a wideshot of an east-facing view of the downtown. And while I work blogging, writing, learning and opening my mind to geekery, over the dull roar of the city buzz below, I listen to the musical cries of the seagulls…

Agent 99 Checkin In

Posted by on April 1, 2006 1 comment

I am official.

Hey internet folks. My new post as Marketing Champion, Agent 99, grasshopper guru extraordinaire has officially commenced at Raincity Studios here in fabulous, sunny Vangroovy. As of today, I have joined the team of Robert Scales, Mark Yuasa and the other lovely gems here at Raincity. My role for the studio falls somewhere and anywhere in the ways of marketing, branding and design. I met Scales, Kris Krug and Boris Mann (of Bryght) trekking around the lovely city of Torino while working for the CBC at the Olympics. Through much vino, espresso and fine fromaggio, it was decided I should jump on board with Raincity.

A wee bit of “works in progress”, soooo much more to come really soon, but check me out thus far:

Ode To Tony, For The Hell Of It

This will only amuse a small selection of you, but I must share:
In the wee early hours of this morning, I began my day, giggling to myself the whole way through, with 110 forehands, 110 backhands, 110 volleys and 110 overheads… and I worked up quite the sweat – that stuff actually is effective. Who knew? I couldn’t get that wall of folded up brown bleachers, at about net height, out of my mind!

Today I ran the longest I have run thus far in my life…. in the pooring Van rain… just hope I make it to May 7th, the big 42km day, a mere 6 weeks away, healthy and able to just run the buggar to the end…

Cleanse Done, Festivities Begin

Posted by on March 24, 2006 No comments

All is well with the bod.

I’ve proven, yet again, an obvious fact in relation to this whole cleanse thing: While I’m sure my liver thanks me, and my intestines are likely much better off after this week of goodness being delivered, you’re never quite healthy and happy and rid of “toxins” on the inside if your emotional life and mental well being are out of sorts. Once they are in sync, your physical body will likely follow. When they’re out of sync, your body will most definitely let you know – THIS I know. Take from that what you will, but a cleanse can only do so much…

My week-long physical cleanse comes to a grand halt and ends this evening with a normal b-day dinner. I may even indulge in a well-deserved glass of wine.

Happy Birthday Roberto.

Still cleansing….

Ah yes, and still hungry. But this cleanse is a bit of a joke. I think I must be missing something? I have a mere two days left and I feel pretty great. For those of you who have inquired what the regime looks like:

No caffeine, no booze – easy on the latter, not so much on the former. My morning and lunch shakes are yummy, consisting of berries, some fruit and almond milk, but are quite powdery tasting, due to the addition of the substances that look toxic, but are actually supposed to rid your body of the toxins, RevitalX and Detoxitech, the thick dust I have to clump into the blender. Dinners are TONS of greens, herbs and maybe fish or chicken. And I drink water like it’s going out of style.

Like I said, a bit of a joke. Oh, and I am allowed a handful of almonds and seeds as snacks along the way. Eating like a bird is fun! All that said, I can’t wait to get my hands on a big, fat bagel with lox and a larger than life LATTE!!!!

Cleanse day 3

All good. Relatively things are normal. Tad tired, tad hungry, but still really active. At this point, this particular cleanse comes highly recommended….
