Although I’ve been consistently blogging about TV shows, books and movies, there are a few things that I’ve fallen in love with that I haven’t been able to necessarily write about as of yet.
1. Provence
Provence is a restaurant I took my parents to for their wedding anniversary and New Year’s Eve dinner. It’s probably the best restaurant I’ve ever eaten at in Vancouver. At Provence you’ll find high quality food, service AND beverages for a price that is most definitely worth it. While our bill came to $200, we had ordered wine, appies, entrees AND a dessert, all of which were delicious, so we were definitely happy to pay. In fact, my parents loved it so much that they’re planning on going back for brunch. (I’m obvz tagging along).
highlight: My entree: Crab and lobster risotto. Best dish I have ever had at a restaurant!
2. Vancouver Canucks
My hometown team is rocking the NHL right now. Check out their stats and I’m sure you’ll find out exactly why I’m digging the ‘Nucks. With the way this team is looking, I will not be surprised if we end up with the Stanley Cup this year! Go Canucks Go!
3. iPhone 4
Been almost a month since I’ve fallen in love with my phone and I’m seriously still in the honeymoon phase. I’m actually starting to wish it was a man because if it WERE, it’d be that guy that’s really good looking and dependable and is perfectly suited to your needs and wants. It’s perfect and the interface is sleek and easy to use. Damn you, Apple, for making me join your cult!

Back to school and already slackin like crazy. My current drug of choice? Misfits! The British show Twitter peeps have been raving about AND my two favorite bloggers have recommendd to their readers. (Those bloggers btw are Trent from Pink is the New Blog and Lainey from Lainey Gossip. You should definitely check em out.)
Misfits is a show about British young delinquents who engage in superhero activities and sexy time which is most definitely the perfect escape from school, textbooks and notes! If you choose to check in to Misfits, it’s everywhere: YouTube, Vuze, surfthechannel.com, so there are plenty of opportunities to watch. You won’t regret it!

As a documentary fanatic, I’m always looking for new documentaries to watch and learn from. I randomly came across Crips and Bloods: Made in America on Netflix and knew right away that I needed to watch it. Watch it. I guarantee that you’ll have a whole new view on gangs, gang members and the violence that’s taking place during turf wars.
Through interviews and archival footage, the film works to explain the culture and development that lays in the heart of the Crips and Bloods and why they’re at war with one another. It shows how the deadly combination of poverty, lack of opportunity, oppression, and discrimination was at the root of the rise of the gangs and the violence that’s taking place in south central LA.

YES! Do it. It’s action-packed and filled with tons of laughs. John Malkovich is delightfully kooky (as usual) and Helen Mirren is badass and absolutely hilarious.

Hunting for the best accessories, best skins and best cases for your iPhone, iPod, laptop or iPad?! I recently stumbled on a pretty cool website that specializes in “retro” and, what they call, community designed goodness. The skins range from being cute to retro to absolutely hilarious and they’re pretty cheap compared to the lame Zagg skins. Definitely digging this site!

Check out my favourite skin. It’s damn cool.

Now I realize everyone’s releasing the top albums of 2010 and mine isn’t really that much different from theirs. BUT doesn’t that kind of prove the greatness of these artists and albums?

While writing my exams, I was pretty engrossed this book by Lisa and Laura Ling. While a lotta criticism has surrounded it, which I reeeeally don’t want to get into and don’t really care about, I found the book pretty damn interesting. I’ve always been a fan of Lisa Ling’s work, mainly because she knows full well that the pursuit of a story may put her in danger and may anger some pretty powerful people, but she continues to attempt to give people a voice who may not be given a chance to speak otherwise. Whether the voice she gives them is beneficial or detrimental is debateable; however, the fact that she makes their situation visible is able to spark debate, interest and even aid if they need it which is commendable in itself.
That being said, while I have a few criticisms, I found the book strangely enlightening.
