Best railing ever


Wednesday 15 August 2012

On a lovely canyon hike, at a spot with a beautiful view.

Pictograph


Tuesday 14 August 2012

We all went on a hike today, and saw this pictograph. It's rather faint, but you can just make out the human figure holding a circle.

Dad and daughter


Monday 13 August 2012

We went on a little car trip around Canmore today. Here's our friend Rob and his daughter M, by a neat glacial stream.

Ryan loves signals

In Canmore, Alberta.

Gordon's New and Used



Saturday 11 August 2012

Saw this store on the way from Kelowna to Canmore. A whole room of used hubcaps. And you can quite see it, but under the "Gordon's New + Used Hubcaps," there's another sign that says "and daughters."

Bannock


Friday 9 August 2012

This is one version of bannock, an aboriginal food of Canada. This one is deep fried, which of course is awesome.

Thursday, August 09, 2012

Jesus, take the wheel!


Thursday 9 August 2012

We headed out today, on our roadtrip to visit friends in Alberta. Today's destination: Kelowna, BC.

Goodbye, love


Sunday 5 August 2012

The girls' dressing room. Tonight was my last night at Rent. I'll miss it so much.

The stage left props table for Rent.

Rainbow crossing


Friday 3 August 2012

This weekend is Pride, so they've done up the crosswalks in our neighborhood. It makes the street look so cheery!

Skyscraper


Tuesday 31 July 2012

Living down in the West End, I sometimes forget out cityish downtown is.

Monday 30 July 2012

Back in the city, running errands.

BC board


Sunday 29 July 2012

Mountains, forests, home, peace, and salmon. Yep, that's BC in a nutshell!

Saturday, July 28, 2012

For a good time,


Saturday 28 July 2012

We went to breakfast at Bonn's, a local greasy spoon, where patrons are encouraged to write all over the walls. I particularly like this comment.

Friday, July 27, 2012

Top of BC


Friday 27 July 2012

We climbed in the Chief today, a nice hike up in Squamish. Here's Ryan, on top of the mountain.

Thursday, July 26, 2012

Whirlpool


Thursday 26 July 2012

I won some free passes to Scienceworld a while back, so our friend E, who's visiting from Whitehorse, and I decided to use them today. A hands-on museum is the very best kind, in my opinion.

Granville entrance


Wednesday 25 July 2012

The entrance to Granville Island, where we're doing Rent.

Today for you


Tuesday 24 July 2012

My friend P gets his turn as the understudy for Angel.

West End garden


Monday 23 July 2012

This house is just down the street from us, and I dream about living in it.

Tuesday 17 July 2012

We're in previews now, but Rent will open soon - I went to pick up more posters today.

My old initials - I couldn't resist snapping a shot.

Coming home


Sunday 15 July 2012

Our courtyard, that welcomes us home.

Alphabet car


Saturday 14 July 2012

The whole car was covered with magnetic letters (glued on, though.) Some spelled words, some didn't. You'd never lose this in a parking lot, eh?

Friday, July 13, 2012

Island view


Friday 13 July 2012

I certainly don't feel unlucky with lunch views like this!

Thursday, July 12, 2012

On the catwalk



Thursday 12 July 2012

Fiddling with the lights up on the catwalk - it feels so good to be back in theater.

Wednesday, July 11, 2012

Actor in gel



Wednesday 11 July 2012

We're in the theater now and getting ready for opening night!

Movies in the park


Tuesday 10 July 2012

This week is tech week for Rent, so I was at the theater all day and had the evening off. Finally, a night to spend with friends! We went to see Zoolander in the park with some cherries, some brownies, and some *cough* grape juice. It's so much more fun watching silly movies in a big group of people who don't mind yelling at the screen.

Raspberry picking today - I love Vancouver.

Sitzprobe


Saturday 7 July 2012

Today we had the sitzprobe (the first rehearsal with both actors and band, in which everyone just goes through the music once) for Rent in this awesome studio. One of the band members was essentially living there, and it felt just like a real-life version of Mark and Roger's apartment, complete with extension cords going everywhere.

Magic bathroom


Friday 6 July 2012

I went up to the fancy mall on the north shore to get our knives sharpened today. In said mall, I found this crazy bathroom where the mirrors have no edges and both sides are identical, so you can barely see the mirrors at all. Cool, huh?

Thursday, July 05, 2012

Science world


Thursday 5 July 2012

On my way home from rehearsal, I looked back over False Creek and admired the view.

Play ball!


Wednesday 4 July 2012

Ryan's softball team plays every Wednesday, and today they were short on players and asked me to join them. It worked out so perfectly, to go play softball on a sunny fourth of July!

Tuesday, July 03, 2012

Living wall


Tuesday 3 July 2012

I went up to Simon Fraser University today to sort out some details for the fall, and got lost. (Not easy to do on their campus, which is small and well-laid-out.) I came across this neat living wall, which was covered with various vines and mosses and whatnot.

A slice of Canada


Monday 2 July 2012

To celebrate becoming a permanent resident of Canada (as well as Canada Day yesterday) I made a delicious strawberry cake with a certain Canuck flair.

Night market trees


Saturday 30 June 2012

We went to the night market tonight, for some wonderful shaved ice/tapioca balls/mango chunks/sweetened condensed milk goodness. They had these trees on which you could hang your wishes. Most of the wishes hung had to do with getting or keeping boyfriends, or doing well in school.

Busy day on the bay


Thursday 28 June 2012

I don't know if the photo really shows it well, but the water was so busy today! Kayakers, paddle boarders, sailboats, canoes, even a dragon boat team.

Trolling


Wednesday 27 June 2012

Stopped under the Granville Bridge on my way home from rehearsal today.
