  • Characters on Coronation Street

    If perchance you do like I do and you watch Coronation Street, a question for you; is there a character on the show that you actually like? Is there a character you feel any sympathy for? For me the only person I have much sympathy, or is it empathy? for is Leanne,  Peter Barlow’s former…

  • He-Man Remix Day Changer

  • My Hunger Games Movie Experience

    Yesterday I had the opportunity to go to a real movie theatre and watch the movie The Hunger Games. First, about the movie, right off the bat I have to say that I was not impressed. The movie was predictable and completely formulaic. I knew who was going to get killed and by whom from the opening scenes of the…

  • Cirque de Soleil Michael Jackson; Day 5 NaBloPoMo

    I was never really a Michael Jackson fan. At the same time I was never a Michael Jackson “hater.” Sure when Thriller came out I was impressed but overall I was just indifferent to him and his music. This evening though, I gained a whole new respect for Michael Jackson after attending Cirque de Soleil,…

  • The Burr Theatre Becomes The Columbia

    Wondering why the people who bought the Burr Theatre are changing the name to The Columbia? Well, they are changing the name back to what the theatre’s name was before it was the Burr Theatre; The Columbia. Today I saw Doug, one of the crew working on The Columbia’s renovation. He informed me that the carpet is…

  • The Burr Theatre Becomes The Columbia

    A couple of weeks ago I was cruising along Columbia Street through downtown New Westminster and noticed a flurry of work going on around the Burr Theatre. I have long wondered what was happening with this iconic New West landmark so I wheeled into a parking spot, grabbed my camera and headed inside. As soon…

  • “As You Like It” for Bard on the Beach

    Although you wouldn’t be able to guess as much when looking at the muddy construction site at Vanier Park, Bard on the Beach will soon be open. The Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival will open their 22nd season with the light-hearted romantic comedy As You Like It. The play is staged Tuesdays through Sundays,…

  • Lafflines at The Columbia (nee the Burr) Theatre

    I was cruising along Columbia Street in New Westminster this afternoon when I saw a flurry of work going on around the entrance to what I have always known as the Burr Theatre. I have seen the “Lafflines Coming Soon” sign out front of the theatre and have been wondering what was going on inside…

  • Kevin O’Leary Up Close and In Person

    As I said yesterday, I went to the Vancouver Convention Centre to see, or perhaps more importantly, to listen to Kevin O’Leary of The Dragon’s Den fame. Entertaining yes, informative yes disconcerting definitely yes. I have to be up front about things, Kevin O’Leary and I have profoundly different politics. He described himself as politically…
