Worlds Collide: Valentine's/Olympics/Chinese New Year
I'm gonna cop out and remind you all about a picture being worth a thousand words.
Tinseltown is a multiplex/failing mall by Stadium Station. The far entrance opens onto Pender, right in Chinatown, so the Chinese New Year parade always starts from inside the mall, then up Pender. Unfortunately, I missed the parade due to scheduling conflict [i.e. sleeping in and avoiding crowds]. There's vendors and [above] troupe after troupe of girls dipped in glitter and lip-synching to Lady Gaga. SO. CUTE.
Tinseltown's theatre peeps were nice enough to let me have five 11" x 17" Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassuss posters. Sweet. Curtis and I saw it at VIFF in October, and I've been looking for a cool souvenir ever since. See what you get when you say "please"?
T&T Supermarket for lunch to go and...Year of the Snoopy?
Geoduck: (pronounced gooey-duck )a giant mud-burrowing bivalve mollusk occurring on the west coast of North America, where it is collected for food [NOT A SEX TOY]. Its shell valves are not large enough to enclose its body and very long siphon
I wish I had a ruler for scale. These things are massive; I'm talking horse cock. And I'm guessing "geoduck" means "cock and balls" in Latin :::cradle the shell valves, work the siphon:::
This was the closest I got to peen on V-Day. Sads.
I take it back, THIS was the closest I got to peen on V-Day. So many people were wearing red on Sunday [red for Canada, red for Valentine's] that I almost didn't notice Team Russia on the train. And no, it's not a trick of perspective, they were frigging HUGE.

2/09: Olympic torch relay
Despite all the ill will the IOC and VANOC have caused, I was in a state of woo for a couple days...I mean, all the tiny Canadian flags and schoolkids in red and RCMP cars with GO CANADA flags...*snif*
Above: Olympic torch coming through New Westminster, right up 6th St, a BASTARD of a hill; might technically qualify as small mountain.
Above: And there she goes.

I'm holding out for chicken and waffles. Because I'm classy like that.
"...fancy places like Red Lobster or Golden Corrall"?? No. Comment.
