2014 Canada Cup - Day 2

What did I do on day 2? Edit, watch, film, edit, eat, watch, film, edit, eat, watch, film, edit, sleep.



I'm enjoying working with all the media and CCA guys. It's always one of my favourite changes from real life (where I work with all women - cue the drama!). The guys are nice and appreciative and after doing a number of these events I'm starting to feel like I belong. So I went from last year thinking I was done with this gig to already plotting where I can fit in for the 2015-2016 season (and dreaming about getting to the 2018 Winter Olympics). Good times!



Here's your daily quiz:















I just discovered that that shiny silver thing that shares my 'desk' space is the Men's Canada Cup of Curling!












I never tire of the view.












Many of the curlers have been doing interviews in french for the CBC. Valiant effort by all!












Skips shot, my fav.












What does 'NFG' mean? Jamie Bourassa, the head ice maker told me it means 'Not Flashing Green'. Gee, what were you thinking?!












My job has slowed down a bit so I'm getting to watch a bit more. Tight matches all over the place!

The Music < Tarp Family: Folk Fest 2014 Wrap Up

It's taken me a long time to write this post because mostly I couldn't think of how to fill out my top 5 for the Edmonton Folk Fest 2014 . This was not a stellar year on the hill for music for me. I've previously acknowledged that I've pigeon holed myself so much musically that I enjoy less and less these days. And this year, I'm a bit burnt out and didn't really want to deal with the early mornings and the lines. I was only going to go for one day to see Michael Franti, but ended up being talked into getting a weekend pass. And it was a good thing I went for the whole festival. View of the city is always stunning from the hill. Here's my Folk Fest 2014 top 5: 1. My Tarp Family - Even though the music was not awesome for me this year, my tarp family sure was. This is the second (or third, we can't remember) year I've hung out at the top of the hill with my (relatively new) usual music crew. And over the years I've really come to love spending tim...

Even though at times, it did feel like Elliott has taken a step back in his second year at the cup level. I also felt like (throughout the year) that Elliott didn't truly take off until we got into the Nascar playoffs. The driver of the No.24 car was a force to be reckon with and a common name in drama down the stench. In those...

Book Review: Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend

I quit my book club and stopped reading. I started to feel stupid. Like I'd lost my words. And as a librarian, whenever I don't read recreationally I feel guilty. Like it's my job or something. So I started a book club with some super local nearby northsider friends. It was scary at first, mixing different groups of friends but they're all awesome and everyone seems to get along great! The thing about my old book club I really liked was that it was open genre - we picked a different genre/topic each month and each read different books then talked about them. This really appealed to me because I don't like being told what to read and I don't like wasting time reading what I don't want to read. However, this doesn't appeal to everyone so for this new book club we're going to alternate reading the same book with an open genre/topic. I think. We'll see how month two goes. Choosing a book was actually not painful. Some people brought recommendations, ...
