Give Me Back My Five Bucks

In the past week, I’ve watched Observe & Report, Adventureland, and last night I went with a friend to see The Informant (I had a coupon, so at least I didn’t have to pay for it). All of them? Epic fails. All three of them were just awful, but in their own unique ways. Observe & Report – Oh, Seth Rogan. You really shouldn’t be in a dark comedy. I thought this movie would be at least a little bit funny, but it was just kind of sad. Adventureland – Kristen Stewart seriously needs to be less emo. And who … Continue reading →

Tomorrow I’m going out for lunch with a friend. She’s moving from Vancouver to Alberta. It’s sad – I really like her, and it was so fabulous when she finally moved to Vancouver from my hometown. But, BF> and I will be out in Alberta in January, so we’ll see each other then. I’m not sure where we’ll be going for lunch, but I’m going to budget about $15. Then Wednesday evening, I’m going for a dinner and a movie with a few girls from my old job. I think I still have a free movie coupon (score!), but I’m … Continue reading →

Last week still felt like summer, but it’s definitely feeling like autumn today – my favourite season. :) Summer is too hot, winter is too cold, and spring is too rainy. I love wearing scarves, taking my coats out of storage, pulling my boots out from under the bed, a nice cup of tea, and cuddling up in bed with lots of blankets and pillows. Plus, autumn always smells so good. Weekend highlights included: Going for a 40 min. stroll for Starbucks pumpkin spice lattes – went non-fat, but couldn’t resist the whipping cream. Playing Wii Sports Resort and kicking … Continue reading →

Last night was the Canucks/Flames hockey game. It was a great game, although the 3 best players on the Flames weren’t playing, so that was kind of a bummer. We ended up losing 4-5 in a shoot-out, after being down 0-3. I’m happy with that effort. It’s just pre-season, after all. Speaking of Calgary, it looks like we’re going out there in January to visit BF’s family. It’ll take 3 vacation days because the Flames game we want to go to is on a Wednesday, so we’d just stay Wed-Sun. I anticipate our flights will be about $400-450 each, and … Continue reading →

Yesterday I was down in Seattle. What a gorgeous day! Perfect to watch a ball game. We got through the border relatively quickly, so we were able to stop at 2 separate outlet malls plus Target! :) Don’t worry, I didn’t go crazy. After some of you guys commented that Aveeno is kind of a low-end brand, I thought that perhaps that was an American thing. Because in Canada, sure it’s a drug store brand and it’s in the aisles, but it’s by no means cheap. It’s around as expensive as Oil of Olay. So anyway, I went into Target … Continue reading →
