Too many contrasting blog posts out there on if Entourage season 5 is shooting now or not. We haven't seen the boys around for a while in the media which makes me think they're filming. This blog claims they hadn't started filming as of 3-22-08. So, they could be by now and with a desired launch date of September 28th (pushed back from the original rumor of June) I wouldn't doubt things are almost 'in the can'.
So, at least we can look forward to 12 more one hour episodes of this HBO gem. I also heard a rumor that the writer has enough material up to season 8 (if HBO is still buying).
Survivor is gearing up for season 17 by going back to Africa. The show will be setting up shop on the continent’s west coast in the country of Gabon (Where is Gabon?). “I didn’t know where it was,” confesses host Jeff Probst according to hollywoodinsider.com. To be a little more specific it will be filmed around the coastal towns of Nyonie and Ekwata in the Wonga-Wongue Presidential Reserve.
Plus, Survivor will be shot in HD (finally!)
Season 17 marks another big change for Survivor in that it will be the first time the show has been shot in high definition. “Survivor is one of those shows that you want to see in HD,” says Probst, while noting that the scenery will look a lot more stunning than the stranded contestants.
For the second consecutive year, the Burrard Inlet Fireworks Society is proud to bring us Canada day fireworks!!
The Burrard Inlet Fireworks Show is a unique multi-community event drawing hundreds of thousands of people and numerous communities together to celebrate Canada. As usual you can catch the show from a variety of locations: Downtown Vancouver, West Vancouver, North Vancouver and Vancouver’s West Side.
The spectacular fireworks display will start at 10.30pm on July 1st. Prepare for it to run a little late.. but who can't deal with a little fatigue Wednesday morning in exchange for a few bright and colorful explosions?
I just joined Twitter yesterday, so if you're on Twitter.com, look me up.
I don't quite understand the meaning of Twitter. What exactly it accomplishes or what the attraction is. Seems to me that you can 'TWEET' which is in essence letting the world know in bite size text increments what you're up to. It has a remarkable similarity to the Facebook status. I might dare say it's the exact same thing.. which is why I'm questioning the hype around Twitter. Seriously.. I actually joined to see if I could understand the attraction, but so far, I can't.
My husband and I just passed our 3 year wedding anniversary. We own our apartment in downtown Vancouver and I'd be lying if I didn't admit we weren't considering the family route. We've been doing a bit of house hunting and started to evaluate how we'd financially and physically handle a little muchkin. It made us question how kid-friendly our lives really were.
So, I cam across an article in the Province yesterday that was kind of interesting. Apparently more dads are doing diaper duty for longer periods of time!
I had an idea the other day for Vancouverites now that summer is here and "June-u-ary" is over (as I've so often heard it affectionately called). I think we should all take our friends or significant others down to the beach for a nice mid-week evening picnic! It's easy to do, just pack up some sandwiches, fruit, and maybe a dip and pita. Might I even suggest bringing a few bevvies with you?
Surprise someone this week with a summer picnic bounty! It'll be fun.. the days are starting to get shorter again. You better start enjoying the sunshine!
You know what I liked most about it? It was written over 60 years ago. So, what you read is really what was happening and normal at the time. It's fascinating to read about China and it's people 60 years ago through the livelyhood of someone who has lived it. The tale is a fascinating story of a man's life from boyhood until near death. You accompany his honest self on the path of hardships to greatness.
I am happy to say the on going Mastercard fraud saga has finally come to an end. I feel it's my duty to report to the world what really happened and how it turned out.
Ok, here is the good news. We have gotten our money back and the remaining charges reversed. Now, the bad news: We would not have been able to do it without the help of two lawyers and many threatening phone calls and letters send on our behalf. I would say it is also luckily that we had two lawyers of exceptional stature (one being the lawyer for the Bank of Canada and the other a corporate and commercial specialist from BC).
Here is a great Birthday party idea! As you know my friends find very creative ways to celebrate their milestone birthdays such as the Triple Princess Photo Scavenger Hunt.
Anyhow, this month a friend of mine is doing a Primary School Summer Sports Day Birthday Celebration! I thought I'd share the idea with the world incase someone wants to copy it. :)
I want to share with the world (especially Vancouverites) that at Earls on Tuesday you can get a DOUBLE delicious white peach bellini made with natural peach syrup, blended with rum, peach liqueur and sparkling white wine for $6!
I'm hung over today but I just wanted to tell you how damn good they taste. (Ever since I finished my half iron man I'm a little out of control on the social front.. I just want to go around yelling that Eminem song "Guess who's back.. back again... Tamara's back... tell a friend".
Treat yourself. Treat your co-workers. You deserve a bellini. Go on. Make a date.
