Wave of Pink
On June 14, the Burnaby school board voted on an anti-homophobia and anti-heterosexism policy, and a rally in support was planned. Now, there had already been pro-homophobia rallies, so would we have to face a counter-rally? In a way I kind of wanted one: let’s be honest, part of me likes a clear-cut, good-vs-evil confrontation every now and then.
Lock Up Your Sons and Daughters
Bill Taylor put together a collection of old anti-gay propaganda to educate and entertain. easy to laugh, and in fact that’s part of the point. Laughter is the best medicine, and celebrating how far we’ve come is part of Gay Pride. But it’s also important to learn how our enemies think, and what they tell people about us.
Northern Voice 2011
And it’s that time of year again. Time to hob-nob with all sorts of bloggers and assorted geeks in UBC’s lovely Life Sciences Centre, with its gorgeous atriums filled with natural light.
Jesus says BRB, Mary Magdalene says LOL
Found this right in front of my building this morning. There were also a few Earth Day-themed chalk drawings on the sidewalk, and others pointing us to the nearest polling station (they all want us to vote Green). I love the West End!
PNE 2010: Rain, Candy, Pigs and Quacks
We got in right under the buzzer. Some friends and I made our annual pilgrimage to the PNE on September 6th, the very last day. It was cold and showery, but I didn’t let that bother me. There was fun to be had!
Ghosts of Old Victoria
As I said in my previous post, during my recent trip to Victoria I went on a ghost walking tour. It was fairly entertaining (our guide was quite a good storyteller), and I learned quite a bit about the history of Victoria, though of course it didn’t convince me that ghosts are real.
Vancouver Pride 2010: Liberate!
But no, there was no rain, and though the sun did come out in the afternoon, it never got terribly hot. Which was a good thing, because I had to move my ass for over two hours, either walking, dancing or volleying.
It’s not easy being a girl
Well, that was kind of fun. I don’t think I’m doing it again in a million years, but still. Fun.
So last night my volleyball league had our end-of-year party at Celebrities. Since the party is also our only fundraising event for the year, we wanted to bring in a big crowd. Something we’d never done before. The answer? The board would put on a drag show. After a bit of discussion we settled on George Michael’s “Too Funky” for music; the only female board member would be dressed as George, and the rest of us would walk around and pose like the models in the video. There was a bit more to the choreography, but that’s about it. Nothing too fancy.
Pi Day Weekend
It’s Sunday night, the end of a crazy weekend. Two whole days of fun, productivity, and far too little sleep. But I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.
We are the champions!
Well, when I say “we,” I don’t include me personally. My team ended up second-to-last place in the seeding, and then were eliminated right away on the second day. Still, I had a great time at the Queen Vicki tournament [...]
Jogging on the Seawall
For the last week, I’ve been taking advantage of the nice weather to get some more exercise done. On Tuesday I decided to get off the SkyTrain at Science World station and use my own two feet to get the rest of the way home. I’d done that just once before, taking a direct route through Yaletown.
I am full of hot air
…literally. Or I was until Sunday night.
Graphs
This is simply the greatest blog ever.
lol
I think this meme is getting out of hand.
Okay, so first we had lolcats. Then they upped the ante with lolbots.
Dude, Where’s My Flying Car?
Now here’s an awesome blog I just discovered: Paleo-Future, a look at how past generations saw the future (which is often our present). Domed, weather-controlled cities! Flying cars! Segways!
