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.
The Mortal Instruments is a series that has been recommended to me multiple times in the past. I’ve always been reluctant to read it, based on the assumption that it’s too girly, and perhaps I’m right. But when I finally got around to reading it, I concluded that girly or not, a good book is…
Who’s got powerful vocals, musical talent, volunteerism and good looks? Megan Nicole! She’s a 17- year- old uprising singer and songwriter who started posting covers of various songs on YouTube starting last year.
I love OK Go. They prove that music videos can be original, imaginative works of art, rather than just closeup shots of good-looking people dancing suggestively. (Besides, they sound pretty awesome, too!) One of my favourites is “All Is Not Lost.” If you use Google Chrome (high five!), go here to see the video with…
Another great band from Canada!
“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” This Chinese proverb accentuates the importance of what I consider to be the greatest tool a person can be given: education. I believe that education is paramount to having a successful…

Lanterns and dazzling lights take over the streets. Every year, when the huge countdown clock on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala reaches…
Bryan Berg claims that he has been exposed to the delicate art of card-stacking since he was eight years old. Over time, he developed an interest of stacking cards; today he holds a Guinness World Record.
Do you know someone who is actively involved in the arts? They could be dancing for charity events, singing for a fundraiser or being an inspirational speaker. Or do you know someone involved in sports?
As you all are probably aware that Grad is coming up, and girls and boys – mainly girls – are most likely trying to decide on what to wear! And yes, I know there are Facebook groups out there for girls to place dibs on dresses (’cause if someone wears the same dress… aaaawkward). Now,…
At the beginning, I honestly felt like Tintin was one of the least perceptive person ever. His dog, who is totally adorable, seems to discover 85% of stuff that moves the story along. Hm. And not only that, but Tintin deals a lot of property damage in the places he’s at. Although he is running from the ‘bad guys’, he still destroys almost half of an entire city.
