WOW this November has definitely been an incredible month. Not necessarily good news mind you. Let’s break it down:

1. Record rainfall for the month
2. Record windstorms for the month (maybe I’m making this one up, but definitely had a few)
3. Boil water advisory lasting 12 days (due to number 1 and 2 above)
4. Record snowfall
5. Record low temperatures (I feel like I’m back in Ontario during January)

And now today we have more snowfall and tomorrow more rain. Interesting weather indeed. Definitely great for the Ski Resorts and getting into the Christmas Spirit. Alas the snow won’t last long, but it was nice while it lasted.

I have been in Vancouver for just over 5 years now and this has to be the second time since that move that it has snowed this much in Vancouver.

Now I just love the first snowfall of the season. It always seems to give a fresh look to the city and helps you get into the Christmas Spirit. As well the snow always has certain glow in the evenings, almost hypnotic.

This definately brings me back to the days of living in Woodbridge, ON and having to shovel this stuff. I’m so glad I don’t have to deal with that here :). Granted the only thing I must deal with when I am here is icy sidewalks and drivers that don’t know how to drive in this weather. But all in all this is definately a nice and welcome change from the usual rain.

So last night I had a very spooky experience. Russ and I were just getting ready to start to watch CSI when I thought, wouldn’t it be very cool to have Roger Daltrey appear on the show. Afterall, the Who’s music is what starts off CSI. As the episode progresses, the “villain” ends up being unmasked and who is it? Yup Roger Daltrey. I was a little spooked by it.

I have had this experience before, I was once able to describe someone’s home when I was talking to them. I had never been to their home before.

I also recall once having a vivid dream of my mother at a picnic. This dream felt like I was watching a play unfold with very bad props. Well in this dream, my mother gets up and goes to the trunk of the car. As she reaches in for something, the trunk closes on her arms and she begins to bleed. At this I woke up. Now I asked my mother about this, and she automatically wonders who has told me this. I continue to tell her it was in a dream, to which she says again the someone must have told me about this. It happens that this did happen to her and that she was pregnant with me at the time.

Maybe I have “THE POWER OF SITE” OOOOHHHHH!!!!!

Today is my mother’s birthday. Though I can’t be there in person I just wanted to wish her all the best on her day.

Feliz Compleano Ma!!!

This weekend thinking it would be another fun filled day of rain, Russ and myself decided on going to the movies. Of course our choice was the new Bond flick Casino Royale.

While waiting in line to get our tickets, we happened to run into Freddie Prince Jr. and his lovely wife Sarah Michelle Gellar (known for her Buffy the Vampire series). It was nice to see stars up here in Vancouver and just hanging out like regular people. It was also funny to note that we ended up sitting in front of them at the show, no this wasn’t planned, it just happened this way.

Well Movie review time.

This to me was a kick ass movie. Daniel Craig does a brilliant job of portraying James Bond. In this movie we see less gadgets and more action. This is the story of how Bond became a Double “O” agent. I don’t want to get into much detail as most of you would probably already know the plot of this movie. It’s just nice to see Bond get beaten up and actually bleed for once. We get to see that there is still some remorse in Bond as he kills. He isn’t as cold hearted. He also blunders which is great to see. All in all a fantastic movie which I would greatly see again.

It is with great saddness that I announce the passing of Chelsea Chi Chinabear last week (some of you will know her by “The Dutchess”).

I have not posted anything then as Russ wanted to keep things quiet and didn’t want people to know. He has definately taken it hard as he was the one that had to put her down.

She lived a fun filled 16 years and I had the pleasure to know her for 5 of those years.

She will be greatly missed, but we know she is now in a better place.

We will all have to wait until May 4, 2007 for the movie to hit the theatres, but definately looks like it will be interesting. I was hoping to see just “alittle” more of Venom, but I’m sure that will come closer to the release date. I believe another trailer is scheduled for February.

So today is Laura’s birthday and I know she didn’t want anything special done for it, but oh well guess I have to blog about her now!

Laura used to work with me and has since moved on and is working on other things. She was very kind to babysit Chelsea when we were away in Paris and I will forever be grateful to her for that! I would love to take her out for a drink or even dinner, but she doesn’t want any fuss on her birthday. And as such I have to respect that.

So Laura, I hope you have a great birthday and hope you spend it the way you want to!

Lots of Love!

So I have been sick for a few days now. Nothing major, but a damn itchy throat that hurts like hell when you try to swallow anything.

Today I’m almost better, but it seems the more I speak at work, the more my voice seems to get worse and in the type of work that I’m in, I need that voice. I think I must have inherited this from my mom’s side of the family. I know when my mom gets sick, she looses her voice. I always used to laugh and giggle at that, and I guess this must be payback for all those times!

This weekend I didn’t do that much. Russ and myself did get together with Andrea and Theresa on Saturday night for a great dinner at Theresa’s place. That girl can cook and she’s a great hostess!!! Always a pleasure to see Andrea and catch up on things.
