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.
When I moved to Vancouver last September, I started becoming a hippie. The sort of all-natural, one-with-the-universe, health-nut kind of hippie (not the psychadelic drug trip kind of hippie). And I love it. I’ve really been interested in sustainability and protecting the environment for most of my life. I thank my parents for that: -My…
Glee has been a huge success within its last four seasons to many teenage girls and boys alike. You can relate to it no matter who you are, popular, music nerd, outcast, really anyone. They have also successfully covered many topics such as texting and driving, teen marriages and pregnancies and school shootings, in a…
Are you excited for the newest edition to the Jackass franchise? I know I am! This upcoming film is most definitely going to be one of the greatest comedies of the year, I can almost assure you, even surpassing We’re the Millers in comedic genius. Starring Johnny Knoxville in his infamous “old man” makeup, this…
It’s October, everyone, and you know what that means. Time again for the pumpkins and candies, for both happy kids and dentists alike. Who will you be this Halloween? Will you be out there trick-or-treating, or handing out chocolates to costumed children? Since October 31 is on a Thursday, my plans would be to kick…
I don’t watch Grey’s Anatomy, Glee, The Office, How I Met Your Mother, Pretty Little Liars, or The Walking Dead, or tons of those other popular shows. I do watch Modern Family, Once Upon a Time, Amazing Race, and some cooking shoes. In my opinion, it’s kind of sad to reflect upon the fact that…
On Oct 5, Calgary will have it’s 12th annual non-profit art and fashion show, PARKLUXE, at the Telus Spark Science Centre. This event is designed to connect fabulous local designers to Alberta and celebrate their boldness and success in North American markets. Woohoo, go fashionistas! The organization is established to add to Calgary’s culture scene…
Last week, my art teacher suggested an event to our class. She told us about Artwalk, and I was intrigued. Completely optional and just for fun, she still recommended we go. I thought, hey, why not? Calgary Artwalk is a fantastic event spanning over two days and several blocks in downtown Calgary. I had the…
September 27-29, 2013, Doors Open Calgary will be held, allowing the general public a chance to check out Calgary’s most interesting attractions, all for free. From the Calgary Tower to the Taylor Family Digital Library to the Glenmore Water Treatment Plant, over 30 amazing sites will all be open for exclusive behind-the-scenes tours. This year…
I am sure everyone reading this has a book series, movie, or television show that they are obsessed about. That one where you count down the days until the next episode, that one that you buy all the merchandise from so now you have no room in your closet for normal clothes. I get it;…
I’m one of those weirdos who loves poetry (and I’m proud of it!). So when we are given an assignment at school that is all about discovering poems, writing poems, and visually sharing them, I am happy. However, this assignment has taken a lot of time… and so because of that and tons of other…
I had very high expectations for Grouplove’s second album Spreading Rumours. I also had very high expectations for the lead singer, Christian Zucconi. He is one of my absolute favourite male vocalists. I must say, my expectations were met fairly well. With the regular album at 13 songs and the deluxe version at 16, it…
The premiere of the international trailer of the 1987 remake, Robocop, made its debut this past week. I was more than over the moon to see the trailer on the featured page of YouTube. But then naturally I began to think about the idea of Robocop and its effects on humanity. First of all, I…
“To photograph is to hold one’s breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality.” – Henri Cartier-Bresson Why taking pictures is a crime Tourists gather under the magnificent structure in the light drizzle, heads tilting upward, staring at the little screens held tightly in their hands; a few already snapping away the moment: they…
As summer draws to a close, the cold air starts creeping and the leaves begin to fall. Autumn is here! For many that means pumpkin pie near a warm fireplace drinking orange pekoe tea whilst enjoying a favourite book. That’s just one type of person. For more of us who have to stay in the…
The spring of life offers a wealth of beauty along with it’s essential role in our survival; water is deserving of the focal point when taking photos that involve it. Being adaptable, the flow can invoke excitement and tranquility at the same time. On the Labour Day weekend, I headed out to Bow Falls and…
