Haha "unfortunately". Do you know what she's doing? She probably already knows this but in case she doesn't, let her know that there's been a lot of harassment from protesters lately to those wearing the uniform, so she should watch out

this winter is extremely warm. I'm going to school in the mornings and coming home wearing just a sweater. Does anyone else have a feeling we'll get a dump of snow sometime in spring? lol

Going to three events, just got my tix today.

Also, here's Vancity Buzz's complete guide to the Olympic season, parties, pavilions, protests and all! Augments my post of their guide to free stuff during the Olympics in VLS General.

After years of waiting the Vancouver 2010 Olympics are here and Vancouverites are ready to celebrate with the world in style. Before you head out that door check out the most comprehensive and easy-to-read guide you will find anywhere. It will be continuously updated and new features will be added daily. Just check it out for yourself below:

Torch Relay: With the torch touching down in your neighbourhood soon check back with this guide. We got schedule, celebrations, live updates, and much, much more...





Canadian Pavilions: Provincial and Territory houses will showcase during the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. Click on the link to see a comprehensive list of all the Canadian Pavilions.
International Pavilions: Sochi House, USA House, Heineken House and much, much more in extensive International pavilions list.





Free Events: If you don't have tickets fear not Vancouverites, the city has a lot of free events going on around the 2010 Winter Olympic games and Vancity Buzz has the complete guide.





LiveCity Yaletown
LiveCity Downtown
Richmond O-Zone
LiveSites and celebrations in the suburbs





Clubs and Partying: Vancouver nightlife has been getting better and with the Olympics there's so many parties that we can keep track. So we've highlighted what we view are the hottest parties in town every night!

Transportation: modes, street plans, maps, bus re-routes, costs, and more...





Weather (Live and Forecasts)




Security: A necessary evil to ensure the safety and keep the pesky protesters out of the venues. Our guide will prepare you for the increased security

Protesting: Don't know what they hope to acheive, but they'll be there. Word of advice, avoid and ignore. They'll go away. Hopefully.
