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.
Battle Royale by Koushun Takami seems be one of those books that most people have heard about, but few people have actually read. It’s premise is definitely memorable enough; in the future, Japan is now part of the totalitarian state of the Greater East Asia Republic. As part of a mysterious military program, a random…
One of the cutest and funniest music videos I have seen in a long time! Have a look and listen: [youtube o4sfh2u8cgU]
I think I speak for the masses when I say that Justin and Jeremy’s Spirit Fingers are by far the best you’ve ever seen. The twins give quite the performance and offer great homage to Outkast with their dance. Andre 3000 would be proud. The best part is that you can automatically tell that the…

I’m a DJ and these guys put me to shame…
I really don’t get it. Sure, a movie can have a horrible plot, and all the same, be fun to watch (even just to jeer at). If this weren’t true, why would the Twilight series have so much box office success? Badum ting! (Pantomime drum and crash cymbal)
Don’t you just love the serendipitous moment of accidentally finding photographic inspiration? This beautiful scene just walked right under my nose while I was sitting in Starbucks one evening.
I literally screamed when I found out I had the opportunity to see Avril Lavigne in concert! Seriously. I grew up listening to her classics such as “Sk8ter Boi” and “Complicated.” And I know you guys did too, as every one of my friends went through that “Avril Lavigne phase” in life. Also this being my…
This summer I volunteered at the Calgary Chinese Community Service Association and we painted murals to go up around the community with the help of many of the children from summer camp. After two months of hard work the murals were finally put up late last month. The aim of these murals is both to…
This video is a pretty fun and creative representative of some major events in world history utulizing frame by frame animation (note: some creative license may have been taken). It’s a final project for a course, spanning 2,100 flipbook pages, and took around three weeks to build. The result is something that could definitely be…
I’m sure all you have a dream. A dream of changing the world, a dream of becoming famous, a dream that you will never give up on. This is my dream. I love to write poems and songs. Here is a poem that explains my dream. It’s an example of our society- our youth, our…
I had no idea Lady Gaga could sing like this. It’s disappointing they don’t play this side of her on the radio. Give it a listen!
This summer, I had the most wonderful opportunity to travel and visit my birthplace in Taiwan. Of course, I took countless pictures of the familiar surroundings I grew up in, but the Miniatures’ Museum had me totally mesmerized – it was definitely one of the highlights of my trip. According to the museum’s description, the…

If so, the Cardel Art-a-thon may be the competition for you! It’s a great opportunity to showcase your talents and ideas, and it culminates in a cool art gallery-esque…
I felt so inspired by the poem “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” by T. S. Elliot (a 20th century poet), I wrote a “poetic response” to it: When the evening is spread out against the sky, When feelings and emotions are flying high. Why so intricate and obscure? When I disturb the universe so vast,…
