Plane Crash


I've been sick for the past few days (I won't tell you what I got, cuz it isn't pretty) and I hate being couped up in the condo with really nothing to do.

On Sunday Russ and myself decided to go out and enjoy the nice sunshine and weather in Vancouver. We took a drive to Spanish Banks and decided to walk along the boardwalk. To our surprise we came across a plane crash!

Ok so it wasn't a "real" plane crash but it looks pretty damn convincing. This is a set for a Hollywood picture being filmed in Vancouver. I'm going to go out on the lim here and say it is for the movie "Passengers" staring Anne Hathaway and Patrick Wilson (synopsis - A grief counselor works with the survivor of a plane crash.)

Donovan Life



I love to look at new condo developments are they are going up and from time to time I love to sign up and be on a mailing list. It is always interesting to see what form of advertising they create to try to get you to buy.

Now a new development will soon be starting called the Donovan. Today in my inbox I got an email to view their Donovan Life mini-series. This will be posted on their website every other day under the "watch Donovan Life" link. Check it out, it's funny and is described as "Yaletown meets Sex in the City meets Will and Grace".

Enjoy!

Post Vacation Blues

I know it has been sometime since I posted on here and there have been a few things going on in my life as well.

It has now been over 2 weeks that Russ and myself got back from our holiday in Puerto Vallarta. This was one of the most relaxing vacations I have ever had and was so relaxed the first week back at work as well.

Granted this did change a week after when reality starts to hit. Russ' mom had a very mild stroke, but is recovering fantastically well. There was a day there were we thought she was going to lose it, but she bounced back and will probably be going home tomorrow. Yeah!!

In the meantime we've had Syd (Russ' African Grey Parrot that lives with his mom) over our place. Think of a gifted 5 year old and you will understand this parrot. She has about 150 word vocabulary and is always asking for things. She will most likely head back to Russ' mom's place when she heads home.

So don't anyone fret, I'm still doing fine and learning that vacations only last a short time, after that reality always comes back. Just enjoy them when you have them and remember, you always have more coming to you!
