The fun stuff. Calgary has a ton of amazing stuff that happens in our city. Reviews of new movies, or albums, art shows or news about sports.
If you think that the Lego Movie is just another way to cash in or is just a trashy film made to sell more LEGO products, then you’re very wrong. There’s just something amazing about the Lego movie, in a weird way. Not only is the Lego Movie a brilliant mesh of childhood nostalgia, eye…
With the 2014 Winter Olympic Games now a distant memory, the world has moved on. It has moved on from the funny faces of Ashley Wagner, the hilarious #sochiproblems, and everything else in between. But before we move on and forget, let us recap all of Canada’s medal wins. Day 1: Feb 8, 2014 Mark…
The Olympics are over now. Canada’s team of athletes won an impressive total of 25. And, all for a very real price tag. I’m of two minds when it comes to programs such as Own the Podium. (You can see a nice breakdown of their portion of the funding on their website.) The reality is that Own…
Selective colour is a photography technique that refines the focus while adding a bit of monochrome flair. Indeed, this trick can extend to timelapse making as well; I found this timelapse by Liban Yusuf as an especially interesting way to view the world. Maybe it’s the reflective nature of a monochrome scene but with the…
With the Sochi Olympics winding down, I’d thought that showing these few interesting Olympics videos would remind you of the Olympic spirit shown in the games this year and in the past, and maybe make you crack a smile or two. Seems like Star Wars AT-AT walkers are invading the Olympics. 😉 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=il2ex8trQjg A little…
I know what you’re thinking. This is so fake. And to be honest, I don’t believe in them much either. But I do know that you should try to get to know yourself as much as possible or at least get as much information as possible. These zodiac signs might contain a little bit of…
1. Famine in Sudan by Kevin Carter This picture induces pity and guilt due to the huge disparity between the third world and first world. I feel that it is a sin for me to not take any action for people like these. In this picture, a child is crawling towards a food camp in Sudan,…
Recently, I went on a university tour with my school and I discovered something I usually don’t discover in Calgary – biting winds added to the chill of a Canadian winter. Since I’m a blogger who detests winter, I hardly ever go outside, and if I do it’s usually to get from warm location A…
This weekend, I drove to Edmonton go see the Harry Potter Exhibition at the Telus World of Science with fellow bloggers Jordan and Bryna. It was a long commute, so I hope this review will help you decide whether or not it is worth your time to go check it out if you were wavering…
Now that the trending game Flappy Bird’s popularity has begun to die down after being removed from the App store and Google Play, let’s ask the question that’s probably been on all of our mind’s since we hit the download button. Why on earth do these dreaded games gain so much popularity in the first…
Sometimes we find harmony in the smallest pieces of our lives.
As most of us know, the 2014 Olympic winter games have arrived. Although it may seem like everything will run smoothly, there has been extensive speculation on the safety of the athletes. Some even say that terrorists are plotting to ruin these Olympics. The question is, are the Olympics really a symbol of peace? Is…
Patriotism is an interesting thing and I’m not sure even a whole Social-30 course on nationalism enlightened me. It doesn’t hold much of a role in my daily life, but every two years, over the course of a few weeks, it becomes everyone’s focus: after all, all the fun and pride and joy of the…
As the athletes of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games are pitted in fierce competition with each other and against the ticking clock, two European women raced each other to a perfect tie in women’s downhill skiing. On Feb. 12, 2014, at the Rosa Khutor Alpine Center, Tina Maze of Slovenia and Dominique Gisin of Switzerland…
Cold weather just seems to do something to the skin which makes it irritated and uncooperative. Fortunately, I am here to review a product which has helped me to offset this winter blues and satisfy my demanding skin. Tea Tree Water by LUSH has helped me to keep my skin hydrated and combat the oiliness…
