After dinner, Dickson and I went to the opening night performance of Crazy for You, the second production of the year for Grant MacEwan’s Theatre Arts Program. From the website: “an artfully constructed show-biz tale of boy meets girl, but rather than Times Square they’re in the Wild West, where they spread good will, good [...]

Dickson had been referred to King Noodle House (10613-97 Street) by a friend who claimed it boasted the best pho in the city. Emboldened by such a high recommendation, we sought to put it to the test on Friday. The furniture was clearly from another era, seemingly having been transplanted from an 80s bar. The [...]

As I watch television chefs in action, I grow ever-envious of their kitchens: the wide cooking space, the gadgets, the quality utensils. While my Mum’s kitchen is fairly well-stocked (who knew we had a mandolin?), there are a few things I intend on adding to our collection: an immersion blender – to more easily make [...]

Late last year, the Churchill Station platform was Enmax-ified. For anyone who didn’t pass through this LRT stop, Enmax took over all of the display windows, hung large banners from the rafters, and even plastered the stairs and seating blocks with their logo and message (one morning, Enmax representatives were even at the Station handing [...]

Occupation: Teacher, President of the Professional Procrastinators’ Club, sexy Paramagnus intern, ex-fanfic writer, and sane-person-wannabe. What did you eat today?

Until March, the University of Alberta International Centre will be holding weekly film screenings to increase awareness about global issues that affect the worldwide community, including human trading, conflict, and disease. Tonight, I went to watch a film entitled Their Brothers’ Keeper: Orphaned by AIDS: “Filmed over a seven-month period, Their Brothers’ Keepers goes inside [...]

Never usually one with great timing, turns out my 24 post earlier this week showed a bit of foresight. Today’s Edmonton Journal printed an article originally conceived for the Colorado Springs Gazette all about Jack’s handy bag from season 5: “they can hardly keep the bag in stock. Both men and women are buying it. [...]

Occupation: University student What did you eat today? I ate leftover taco for lunch and for dinner i had cauliflower and mushrooms What do you never eat? I never eat aspargus or brussel sprouts (ew) What is your personal specialty? I can’t cook but a can make a killer big breakfast consisting of bacon, eggs, [...]

Gotta love a good analogy. First, there was LC’s comparison of boyfriends to handbags on Laguna Beach: “LC: No, I think it’s more like purses, actually. You’re always going to have that one boy that you’re always comfortable with and you’ll always kind of like, right? That’s your purse that you wear everywhere, right? Then [...]

Jack’s back(!) in the adrenaline-pumping, non-stop thrill ride known as 24. As per prior seasons, it appears the central focus of this day will be preventing a nuclear attack (is it just me, or have warheads become blasé for other seasoned 24 watchers?). But now that the show has matured, and we’re on to POTUS [...]
