It's Wednesday May the 31 around 11:52PM and
Canada's Next Top Model is debuting tonight. Not that it sounds like I'll be missing much,
OMG thinks that that, "Since the girls are a bit plain (see above photo), that must mean they all total bitches or otherwise crazy." Which is great news. But no Tyra Banks means this will be about as cool as Canadian Idol with Ben Mulroney - a guy that makes Ryan Seacrest seem manly. But I guess hottie
Tricia Helfer - she of the Battlestar Galactica show - as host is not a terrible choice.
What's interesting to Vancouver viewers will be that of the 10 finalists, 5 of them are from Vancouver, its suburbs or at least B.C. Then again if they are all just homely looking crazies maybe that isn't such a good thing. We have Alanna, 19, from Kelowna, Natalie, 22, from New West, Sisi, 23, from Richmond, Brandi, 22, from Vancouver, and Ylenia, 23, from Vancouver - her occupation is listed as "background performer". You mean extra right sweetie. You're an extra.
You be the judge. Praise be City TV.
It's Wednesday May the 31 around 10:28PM and
It's been quite awhile since I've posted. Big thanks to guest writers Luke and Josee for pulling some weight in my absense. Encourage them to post even more dear readers. I'm also told that tommorow we'll have the usual Vancouverite Playlist via Art Director Graham too. Nice for us. Who ever thought I could have found anyone to actually help out while I'm yukking it up with Uncle Ho in Vietnam. On with the show, here are some links:
*This is old, I'm not going to lie, but I'm just posting it now. Deal with it. Shatner interviews Avril Lavigne. He is amazing. She is cute now that she isn't punk. Question: Hey Josee, is Avril Faux -French? Discuss.
*I can never not post when there is something about Kate Beckinsale. Especially when it involves "insanely low-rise pants."
*I have no idea why this is the case, but Kristin Chenoweth is May's number one google search on The Vancouverite. So, again, here is old news. But she should have started filming in Vancouver with Mathew Broderick and Danny Devito of the holiday film Deck the Halls this week.
*Speaking of Vancouver Film, Jalopnik has some pics of the cars from the live action Transformers movie. Anyway, apparently filming is going well.
*Why America. Why. And it even made David Hasselhoff cry. Shame on you.
*I haven't been able to watch any real TV in nearly three weeks. It's painful, and feels like coming off of drugs cold turkey - don't try it. But then again, maybe missing this tonight isn't a problem: "More Poker: Celebrity Poker Showdown returns to Bravo at 9, with new co-host Phil Hellmuth and players Bryan Cranston, Kevin Sorbo, Jason Alexander, Susie Essman, and Jamie Bamber." Zzzzzzz....
*Wonkette disects The Washington Post's ridiculous 4-pager on the discovery of "the wingman". "To sum up, for those of you who are 80 years old or don’t speak English: A “wingman” is a guy who, at a bar, helps his friend get laid. THERE’S YOUR 2,000 WORDS, ARTS AND LIVING SECTION." It's cute when Big Media tries to be hip.
*Thanks to TV Squad this is the funnest thing I've read in weeks. In regards to a new book of essays on being fired, "New Yorker writer Andy Borowitz discloses that he was fired from writing for The Facts Of Life because he didn't "get" Tootie." Wow, who knew Tootie was so complex. I always thought Jo was the tough character. Or maybe Blair.
It's Wednesday May the 31 around 7:49PM and
Well hello there! Just because the Cat's away doesn't mean that the hits don't keep coming. It's the first of the month and it's time for a little something we like the call...

It's Tuesday May the 30 around 4:36PM and
This city more or less sucks but sometimes decisions are made that say otherwise. Withdrawing the proposed referendum for the Aquarium expansion was brilliant. If we went ahead with the referendum, we would also have to vote on changing the city slogan to: Vancouver, it's safe to shoot up and do smack here, but if you have kids, you're shit out of luck.
I have taken junior to the Aquarium about 10 times in 2006 and it's going to get boring fast. If that place doesn't change and evolve then I will have to take it off my list of fun zones. Since Science World is banned until they fulfill my request for a new exhibit called the "Hand Sanitation Station" I will be out of places to take him.
It's Monday May the 29 around 10:12AM and
Stephen Miller, president of the British Columbia Lions Society was clearly affronted by an email to the organization that was somewhat critical of the Spirit Bears in the City fundraising campaign. He was so affronted, in fact, that he responded to the email as follows:
"I would suggest that before you pass judgement that you look at all the Spirit Bears (about 200) around the Province. They will be up on our website by the end of the Month. Some of the artist have applied their artwork to the unique form and have created beautiful paintings.
Perhaps you could send me your comments once seeing all of them. Remember, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
Stephen Miller"
Now, I have every intention of visiting the webiste again at the end of the month to see if by some miracle an attractive fibreglass bear has somehow managed to grace our fair city. However, with the exception of a Darth Vader bear on Burrard Street (which is just plain cool although not really classifiable as beautiful), I somehow doubt that any of these oversized figurines are really going to speak to my soul. I'd like to say that I'm not going to pass judgement out of hand, but I can't help myself... The chrome bear I saw this weekend almost blinded me. Someone call PETA because this campaign is cruel to bears and humans alike.
It's Sunday May the 28 around 6:21PM and
I went to Science World today and man let me tell you. If there was ever a place to abandon a child you did not want...this is it. 2,000 frenzied, germ ridden, coughing, sneezing, booger wiping, crying children and 50 adults staring blankly at the mechanical babysitters wishing the weekend would end so the little turds were back at daycare. You could leave your little squirt there and I am sure it would make it's way into someones mini van.
At $20 for two adults and one rug rat it is pretty cheap entertainment. We were there for about 2 hours, or approximately 2 hours too long. While junior's little head almost exploded with excitement, I did find solace in the cotton candy and seeing some twerp 10 year old smash his nose open while "trying" to destroy one of the exhibits. "Don't kick" means "kick as hard as you can" to a ten year old.
Keep in mind when you read my posts that I am a bitter man and that my views of children are not shared by the the Vancouverite staff. I hope they all have many children and feel the joy I feel every day.
It's Friday May the 26 around 12:41PM and
Those Campaign for real beauty posters put up at all the sky train stations are misleading. While I applaud any girl, fat or thin, for baring all, I still think they aren't ugly enough for Dove to claim their marketing is outside the box. I think they came up with this campaign when someone said: "hey why don't we just use bigger more homely models because they are way cheaper..."
It's Wednesday May the 24 around 12:58PM and
As someone who lives every day with a very French name in Vancouver, I find that I can often pass myself off as a little more "exotic" than I really am. I've spent years perfecting my Quebecois accent, and when I pull it out as a party trick, I find that it goes over gangbusters. By replacing the word "very" with the word "très", I think that I've managed to convince a significant part of the city that I am, in fact, francophone. This is why I was so very dismayed to discover that all my sad little attempts at multiculturalism failed when I hit the big town of Montreal last week. My fancy French name got me about three words into a conversation before the person I was speaking to realized I was more anglo than the Queen. Sometimes I could fake the store clerk out long enough to buy something, but as I walked away from the exchange, I would always hear those cursed words: "Thank you."
Now that I'm back in Vancouver, I can go back to the nice little bubble where I'm a francophone in a big, bad English city. And next time I'm in Montreal, I'll be sure to pass myself off as Spanish.
It's Tuesday May the 23 around 1:06PM and
My 3 year old son threatened to kill me this morning. Normally this wouldn't phase me one bit but since junior can't talk real well, I find myself concerned. Sure he can use the F word in the right context but he can't tell me if he is hungry or if his stomach hurts or if the soup is burning his mouth, he just waves his arms like crazy and cries. But I was changing him for daycare because he spilled ice cream and chocolate all over his shirt and then he just snapped for no reason. He is so wound up. And yeah I was giving him ice cream and chocolate at 7:30am but this isn't about my parenting skills...this is about his poor behavior.
Too bad someone has already leased ebaby.com. Though I think they are misleading the public if they aren't selling live babies...
It's Sunday May the 21 around 6:01PM and
This is a good thing. Overheard In Vancouver is a site dedicated to conversations heard around the city, following the sucessful model Overheard in New York. Go help them out, they need more smut and stupidity and fast.
It's Sunday May the 21 around 5:53PM and
I've only been away for a week, and Dose - the 3rd place free daily - is gone? What the heck? I love 24 Hours' headline on the article, "Toast Toast!" But you think they could have gotten somebody worth quoting in the story. Instead they have the editor of The Tyee, an online rag, David Beers.
"I think there were serious flaws in the idea," Beers told 24 hours yesterday. "I'm a believer that Canadians are very regional and more locally focused. Dose was a thinly veiled, Toronto-based national publication masquerading as a local publication."
I think i will miss most of all the crazy ads they did. Goodbye really lame newspaper. I wonder what all the kids who put it together will do now?
It's Sunday May the 21 around 5:18PM and
You know, you can't really hide from the good buzz in this world. When the doorman at the hotel wants to talk about Tom Cruise, you just kind of go with it. Here is some stuff to check out:
*Best Week Ever suggests that the ongoing brutal fued between Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton is just like hip hop's East Coast/West Coast Rivaly, and Lohan is Biggie Smalls. Speaking of Paris Hilton, this Ocean Spray ad that was too hot for Aussie TV is hilarious.
*Trailer Park: I checked out the trailers to Fast Food Nation and World Trade Center. Yesterday in Saigon I saw a women walking down the middle of the road and traffic with a bunch of unwrapped chicken. She was in traffic. I tend to think that this might be a larger problem than fast food. I also think Nicholas Cage in a mustace is genuis.
* The Apple Store in 5th Avenue, open 24 Hours a day, is insanely beautiful. So is the timelapse movie.
*mmmm....dry-cured sausages. mmmmm.... PS: How does one become a food historian. Dream job #17. Done.
*Damn it. I'm in Saigon, and this week the new Glowbal Group spot, Sanafir, opens on Granville St.. Thankfully, Andrew Morrison will no doubt be there for us. The presser kicks off with this, "Rock Your Casbah With Tapas From the Near and Far East," which sounds promising.
*And also rocking the Casbah is Lionel Richie. Apparently he is to Iraq, how Hasselhoff is to Germany. Explains much about the world non?
It's Friday May the 19 around 9:55PM and
Giving someone like me access to your blog is comparable to sending your children to Uncle Feely's Daycare/Pig-farm. Not necessarily Jackson's best decision but it could be his sweetest...Be warned that I think run-on sentences are cool and grammar and punctuation is time better spent talking about stuff like this cornucopia of info:
I watched the Preakness today. It wasn't very entertaining and I don't suspect I will ever have that 3 minutes of my life back but at least I got to see what all the commotion is about. I think Vince McMahon needs to put a WWE spin on horse racing as we know it. Instead of naming a horse "Sister Vagina" or "Lilly Foot" they are titled like monster trucks, titles like "The Bone Splitter" or "The Glue Huffer" or something that makes people find a corner to cry and pee their pants.
There is an all you can eat sushi restaurant in Metrotown called Su Shi Ya. I don't suggest you ever go there, ever. However if you do not heed my warning then you should be prepared to pay by credit card. That way when your meal is crap like ours was, you can just sign off the slip with 'go to hell' or make them feel guilty with 'thanks for totally ruining our anniversary, glad we came here' or leave it blank. Apparently I am not alone in this half ass review.
I took my 3 year old spaz to the Aquarium this morning. If you haven't been there in a long time, go now. It's $17 for an adult but considering you can spend 3 hours there and still not see everything, that's totally worth it. You can also get a membership for $40. There are few really cool placed in Vancouver where you are supporting more than some old man. Don't be cheap, if you have or know a young child and you are on this website then you have $20 to spare. Pry the PlayStation control from juniors cold malnourished hands and go check out the new giant squid they have in the old orca tank. They feed the dolphins smelt I think, but they throw live goats into the giant squid tank. They also have one of the creatures from this guy's movie, and it's not an early 1900's elitist.
I will be back with a new post early this week. This is the first time I have ever used the internet so please let me know if it was any good or not. My writing is pretty weak and is only cheapening the brilliance that is the Vancouverite but it's tough because I only have 6 fingers and getting at the outer corners makes word selection hard for me.
It's Tuesday May the 16 around 10:42PM and
The smugest drink in the Far East. I have no idea if this is actually the case, but when you only have a few short hours in place like Singapore, there is no sense rushing around trying to see the sights - honestly, I refuse to do any rushing, the heat is crushing. Instead I took my friend Bonnie to the
Raffles Hotel to have the world famous Singapore Sling in
The Long Bar.
It is very bizarre to be in this kind of cool plantation inspired (read: "colonial awesomeness") hotel having a drink that looks like it should be served in a coconut and handed out at spring break to underagers. It's the kind of place you want to sit back, waste an entire day, contemplating the state of the world - possibly with a linen suit on. Instead this drink will cost you a pretty penny - at $16 a piece, you can have one very smug drink. I guess having the drink in the bar that originated it, costs you the dollars - and it sure seemed to suck a bunch of people into it. Although the blasts of Bon Jovi and New Kids on the Block failed to truly live up to what this drinking adventure means. On the other hand, for that price you can eat ridiculously good peanuts and throw the shells on the floor.
It's Tuesday May the 16 around 12:14AM and
Sure, drinking a Miller Genuine Draft in sight of the worship-worthy awesome Colonel Sanders statue at the KFC/Dunkin Donuts in the Seoul airport isn't any way to start off a trip to Asia, but after 10-hours flying, you will just have to deal with it, that is where the 'puter hookup is. Here are some links.
*Thank the maker, and praise be jeebus, that Katherine McPhee is not going to go scientologist after her starmaking American Idol Turn. Which is good news, as Defamer was worried about her replacing Katie Holmes as Tom's wifey.
*The preview of Aaron Sorkin's bid to save NBC is on You tube.
*Totally awesome. David Blaine aparantly never got around to checking out Grizzly Man.
*Slate struggles to articulate why it takes Wes Anderson so long to make movies.
*10 Things I Hate About Commandments - another trailer mish-mash.
It's Monday May the 15 around 11:22AM and
Good Morning Vancouver! Sorry for the delay in posting, and this may continue for the next few days. Why? Well, The Vancouverite is heading out on the road for some travelling, that's why. I'll be posting from all over the place, and I'll try to keep up with Vancouver too. I'm starting with a night in Singapore before heading into Saigon - more on that later.
But don't fret dear readers, I've got a great selection of guest writers who will be popping in to keep you up to date on Vancouver's happenings and beyond. When they start to post, I'll hook you up with some background information. So be nice. Give me a few days to travel, and come to terms with the heat, and we'll be back to normal, although very far away. Honestly, who goes to Vietnam in May?
It's Wednesday May the 10 around 10:51AM and
In what a friend assured me was the "God's honest truth", a truly magnificent and delicious hump day rant about the
Spirit Bears seen around the city as sent to the organization itself:
Dear Mr. Miller,
I am sure that you receive a lot of positive feedback with regards to the Spirit Bears in the City fundraiser since it was modeled after the successful Orcas in the City campaign, among others. I’m actually writing today to urge you to consider a different campaign for your next fundraiser.
One of the objectives of the Spirit Bears in the City campaign is to promote civic pride. While I’m sure that many people enjoy the site of massive fiberglass bears littering the city streets, for some these brightly coloured statues are a source of the exact opposite. Vancouver is a beautiful city, and these bears render it kitschy and farcical. Artists should be free to pursue endeavours near and dear to their hearts, rather than being confined to a mammal-shaped canvas. These statues trivialize the dignity of the Spirit Bear - a noble animal such as this forced to wear a jet-pack? It's just a little bit ridiculous.
None of this is to say that I don't support the Lions' fundraising efforts. In fact, I would be more likely to conisder becoming a supporter if it meant no more animal statues in Vancouver .
Good luck with your fundraising efforts.
Wow. This is so amazingly cool.
It's Tuesday May the 9 around 8:28AM and
*Either Tootie, Jo, Natalie, and Blair from The Facts of Life were reunited in The Today Show this morning and the world didn't collapse, or they didn't. Flashback to the theme song. OMG.
*Thank god. Brooke Burke and the Burger King are finally broken up. Hey ladies, the King is on the market...
*I think this sounds amazing. A new HBO show: "Hotel Palestine," a half-hour comedy about a group of wartime journalists living in a Baghdad hotel." Praise Jeebus. This better be the new M*A*S*H.
*This sounds totally amazing. Commiefest 2006. As Gridskipper says, "Say what you will about North Korea – they still know how to put on a crazymaking communist propagandagasm." That's just so totally awesome. Tourist visas to see dear leader. Wicked.
*Wow, an actual cool airline ad for Delta (via Adrants).
*Yum. Delicious new Converse ad/short. Love this line: "Luck is like having a rice dumpling fly into your mouth..."
*The final word on David Blaine's not drowning last night: "So, he's the Tom Cruise of magicians. But, hey, he's rich!"
It's Tuesday May the 9 around 8:17AM and
Whoa, it's Tuesday already, where did that weekend go? Ahem. 24 Hours fronts some dolphin loving fun on the cover asking, "Who's your daddy? Hana, one of the dolphins at the Vancouver Aquarium, is pregnant. However by our math, Spinnaker, the Aquarium's resident stud, is not the father. So who is?" Could it be
David Blaine?
Meanwhile this is almost as bad as found in Gawker: ‘NYT’ Gives Equal Weight to Equal Issues - Well, almost equal: Angry Darfur Refugees Riot in Demand for U.N. Troops - 1,125 words. Lindsay Lohan: Portrait of the Party Girl as a Young Artist - 1,161 words. I honestly don't know which paper is worse today.
It's Friday May the 5 around 8:48AM and
Good Morning Vancouver. 24 Hours newspaper this morning has a terrible cover story this morning. The debate over
Starbucks vs. Tim Hortons is so lame. Nobody in Vancouver should be going to Tim Hortons, and you should feel dirty even walking into Starbucks these days - you have to get your fix obviously, but honestly you have to feel bad about drinking from those
fugly Akeelah and the Bee cups. Enough with this, how about some fun links for Friday:
*If they make Ben Affleck play James T. Kirk in the new J.J. Abrams Star Trek, I'm pretty sure the world will collapse on itself. And I think Abrams will jump the shark at some point, given thanks to the Hanso Foundation in the Mission Impossible movie is Tom Cruise-like crazy.
*For no reason whatsoever, Mandy Moore in yellow Simpsons form.
*The only thing worse than the actual Lingerie Bowl, would be a movie starring Jessica Simpson about the Lingerie Bowl.
*Kate Moss does a Nikon commercial. While The Perlorian Brothers Washington Lottery sports are very simple and fun. Meanwhile Applebees tries to go Rat Pack cool and uses Sammy Davis Jr. in a spot. And these be some crazy Converse print ads.
*From the 10th Floor, Lee thinks this Tom Cruise dancing clip is very funny. Or creepy. You decide.
It's Thursday May the 4 around 2:17PM and
You know, you have a nice morning, and then during 'lunch' you miss the ridiculous fact that Hedy Fry is running for the Liberal Party Leadership.
"I stand before you a woman, a Westerner, and that's a good start for anything. It's a time for Canadians to seize the opportunity boldly and aggressively to stretch once again, to reach beyond our grasp."
God help us all.
It's Wednesday May the 3 around 8:26AM and
Man alive. The city thinks it is summer this week. I fully expect hordes of flip flop wearing freaks to walking around the city - hey people, the downtown core is not the beach. And the bikes, my god, the bikes - I counted 10 of them on the seabus. Ridiculous. Anyways moving right along:
*This week has been all about the budget in Ottawa and immigration south of the border. Thankfully Mr. T is around to explain immigration issues, fools. Quite frankly I agree with this sentiment: "No Illegals, No Burritos. (You Better Think Twice America)." No kidding - mess up a lot of stuff, but don't mess with the burritos people. In other news, a new Mr. T show is coming...
*Sue me. I think Jack Sparrow is totally fabulous. Pirates of the Caribeean: Dead Man's Chest trailer.
*Bond. James Bond. In English this time. Casino Royale w/ Cheese trailer. (Or w/out cheese if you ask Whitney) The Black & White opener is a good call.
*Sure, they aligned themselves with Kelly Clarkson, but Ford then greenlit the tagline, "Bold" and "Bold moves." Bold? Try Bor-ING! (Ad Freak)
Back later...
It's Tuesday May the 2 around 6:33AM and
Well,
Expo Ernie was back in action yesterday after 20-years. He looks just as ridiculous as he did 20-years ago - kind of like the original Trek vision of the future - a terrible future. Enough of this, lets link some stuff to help us forget the last post:
*Paris Hilton was out promoting sparkling wine. "I'm not sure what's more depressing, that a government ban was lifted for Paris Hilton or that she's promoting sparkling wine in a can. Although I think the real question on everybody's mind is, "Am I classy enough for canned wine?" The answer is yes, my friend. You are."
*Wow, David Blaine is a total creepy freak.
*Chelsea Clinton. What happened? Did you crawl out from under a rock? Then you see her dad getting set to celebrate his 60th this summer. Can you imagine how crazy that party will be?
*When American Idol's 15 seconds of fame forces you to go to the ugly Hollywood, Washington.
*Time magazine's 100 - the 100 people who shape our world is crazy.
*James Lileks goes to the Biannual Springtime Postcard Convention. Weird, but cool.
*The new campaign to sell the Mercury starring Perniferous P. Penguin selling Jelly Filled Frosted Sugar Balls is crazy, but so good. They also have more insanity on theneverything.com. It's
It's Tuesday May the 2 around 6:18AM and
Okay, it is
waaaaay to early in the morning to read something like this, "Jason Priestley and Terry David Mulligan are bent on turning everyone into armchair oenophiles with their new wine show Hollywood and Vines." Holy Hannah, this is totally insane. A wine show with Brandon and TDM? You know, I may not be able to drink wine again with these two d-listers talking about. Here's some down right scary details about
Hollywood and Vines from today's Province:
Priestley and Mulligan tackle the stodgy topic of wine with a laid-back attitude and a dose of rock 'n' roll. Hollywood and Vines is "something between White Snake and The White Stripes," says Priestley. "It's not just about drinking wine, it's about the lifestyle," Mulligan says. To follow the two on their escapades, Priestley suggests, "open a bottle of wine before you watch the show. You'll have more fun . . . and it'll make our show seem better."
Dear god. Muuuulllllligggggaaaaaaaaan!
It's Monday May the 1 around 11:29AM and
All I can say is that the gods for Al Gore inventing the interweb so that this morning I could have more fun than work. Don't tell anybody. Anyway on with the show:
*I have to say, Daniel Craig wouldn't have been my choice for Bond, but this French trailer for Casino Royale looks damn fine.
*And my goodness, can Lindsay Lohan go a day without being in the headlines? Today we bring you the Lindsay Lohan-Brett Ratner-other women triangle and cat fight. That is awesome. Dlisted sums it up this way, "Brett is fat and directs bad movies. I don't know why a bitch would want him anyway."
*Defamer reports on the marketing machine of Mission Impossible III which hits the streets with explosive and hilarious results! Meanwhile, very funny America, making RV the Number One movie at the box office this weekend. The terrorists have totally won. Note: I have a new theory of box office numbers. Movies filmed in Vancouver hit #1 quite a bit. More on this non-researched theory later.
*You stay classy Calgary.
*The Empire State Building turns 75 today.
It's Monday May the 1 around 8:47AM and
You got a playlist. Now go watch the Special Edition Colbert Report from the White House Correspondents' Dinner. I'll be back later. This is just too much awesome for one morning. Remember as Colbert says, "Reality has a well known liberal bias."
It's Monday May the 1 around 8:28AM and
Good Monday Vancouver! Our Art Directing Music Man, Graham MacInnes has done it yet again, he writes, "I think we've got a good mix here and a few trackst that will get you ready for the summer." It's May, I see blue skies, and I'm starting the day off with 11 dope music tracks. Tis crazy!
