Currently, if we're counting gold medals, Canada is leading with 13, Germany on second with 10, and USA on third with 9. We are just totally on a roll. Hopefully, the will keep going into the men's hockey final tomorrow.

Men's short-track speedskating last night was awesome! And I was in giggle-hysterics when they announce that Apolo Ohno got ( Read more... )

I've just successfully used MS Excel to complete a flowchart for my creative writing assignment. Yay! [does a little dance] Now, I need to finish reading half of The Moonstone by next Wednesday, and start on that goddamn research for my Native lit assignment. Oh, I'm already lamenting the end of the wonderful 2-week break even though I still have a ( Read more... )

Last night, I went to O Zone at Richmond to watch Arkells and Our Lady Peace. I've never heard any of Arkells' songs, but they sounded suprisingly good live. I expected Our Lady Peace to be exceptional - being the Canadian legendary band and all - and they are... not bad.

On top of that, I'm slacking on my school work. Kinda. At least I'm done reading those psych texts for English ( Read more... )

So as I've said in my post yesterday, I went to Granville Island and Downtown area. Robson was crazily packed (I dunno if it's because it's the Olympics, Sunday, and Valentine's Day) but Canada Place was a little bit better. But honestly, the cauldron is really quite beautiful close-up... or as close-up as us civilians can get, which is not really ( Read more... )

So it's Chinese New Year, the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, AND it's Valentine's Day today... and I'm going to downtown later. Is that a masochistic kind of action? Totally. But I'm just getting into the mood for the Olympics and I'm still quite high from yesterday's women's moguls (yay Jennifer Heil!) and short track speed skating (I never knew ( Read more... )
