Lovely weather we’re having, eh? But the bright side to this horrid snow in late April is that it stops me (and everyone else really) from taking advantage of the nice weather we just had. Last week, I told you all about senioritis. This week, I’m going to tell you how I’ve been coping with…
Do you remember the track and field unit in gym class? You know how you’re supposed to try your hardest during that last part of a race or so to cross that finish line? Well, I’m here to tell you that isn’t the case for senior year (grade 12)! Grade 12 is more commonly known…
Over spring break, yours truly managed to break her phone! It was actually quite a funny story of how it happened, but I’ll spare you the details. I am still rather upset about it though…but thankfully, my friend had a spare one! Hurray for not being phoneless! Proud phone/text addict right here… =] So since I’m…
I was cleaning out bookmarks (favourited websites) when I found a bookmark for Petals Around The Rose. I’m not entirely sure if I’m happy or sad that I’ve stumbled across this again, so I thought I’d share my thoughts (read: frustration) about it… I believe my friend sent me this a while back, as we…
So the other day I went out and got some chips. Feeling somewhat healthy (yeah you can’t be that healthy from eating chips), I decided to pick up a bag of SunChips. To my surprise, the bag was ridiculously loud. And I mean ridiculously. There was no way you could have been subtle while eating…
Now that you’ve learned all about photography from YAA’s Perspective series, why not put your new skills to use in… …the MEE’s Photo Contest! But before we get caught up, let’s backtrack for a moment. What is MEE? MEE stands for Mayor’s Environment Expo. This year, Calgary’s MEE is happening from June 1 to June…
Did our Where It’s Art: Please Do Not Taste the Artwork series interest you? Got nothing to do this coming weekend? Come check out the L’Arche Calgary Cake Walk and the Lindt Chocolate Competition! This Sunday, March 14th, 2010 from 12pm to 3:30pm, you can take part in this family friendly event which actually showcases…
We all already know that Youtube is pretty cool and awesome…and an essential procrastination tool! But did you know about its Music Discovery Project and Playlist Creation Tool? My friend showed this to me the other day and I have to say that it’s pretty neat. Yeah, that’s a bit of a mouthful to say. …
We’ve already told you about the cool festivals and events in March…but have you heard about the Calgary Kiwanis Music Festival? Yes, as you may have guessed, the Calgary Kiwanis Music Festival is one of North America’s largest amateur competitive classical music festivals. To put that into normal English? The Kiwanis festival is a celebration…
As I’m sure many of you have noticed, it snowed here in Calgary yesterday. What does this mean? More skiing and snowboarding! So for you snow-enthusiasts out there, you better mark this date down… February 27, 2010! The 3rd Annual Big Snow Blast will be taking place at Canada Olympic Park from 6pm to 9pm.…
Well you better be pumped, because Calgary’s CTV Olympic Celebration will be happening on Saturday, February 13th! Come on down to the Olympic Plaza that day from 2:30pm to 7:00pm for a festival-style event all about the 2010 Winter Olympics. There will be various entertainment activities, cultural pavilions, and large video screens showing live coverage…
Canada Day is indeed in July and is indeed months away… 5 months, to be exact. But the City of Calgary is looking for volunteers to join the planning committee for Calgary’s Canada Day Celebrations now! What do you do for this committee? Well, basically, you plan the Canada Day Celebrations at Prince’s Island Park…
It’s only the 1st of February, but we all know that Valentine’s Day is coming up anyways. I personally do not think much of the February 14th celebration, but chocolates, stuffed toys, and bouquets of flowers come to mind as gifts for this holiday. Now, rather than sticking to tradition, here’s a new idea for…
So while in search of something to blog about, I stumbled across a neat website. I was actually in the process of googling Paper Root and Twisted Goods (both of which are stores that I absolutely adore…located in Eau Claire and Southcentre, respectively, and both are also in Market), hoping that they had websites. They don’t…
So I’ve been listening to Amp for the past bit, using it as background music (or background noise, whichever you would like to call it). I’ve noticed two songs that are ridiculously overplayed. Not that radios don’t overplay songs in general, but these two songs… bug me. Really bug me. Maybe I’m being picky, but seriously,…
