Give Me Back My Five Bucks

BC Ferries has decided to hike their rates. Again. Currently I pay $11.80 for a one-way ticket, and starting April 1st, it will jump to $13 (or $43 for a passenger and car). Awesome. That just means the other ferry service from the island to Vancouver will get my business! Oh … wait. That’s right. There is no other service.

Stuff like this happens all. the. time. in Vancouver. A few days ago, BF told me a story about how a girl was just walking down a road, and some guy grabbed her, dragged her 2 blocks, and then raped and killed her. And … Continue reading →

So, I’ve blogged about The Flight of the Conchords before, but this video is golden. I love it. It just completely tears into all of those musicians who write songs about changing the world and how awful humanity is (think John Mayer’s “Waiting on the World to Change”) … it’s one of the funniest songs I’ve heard in a long time.
