I attended an event at the Museum of North Vancouver last night, and was delighted to find their streetcar exhibit getting into the Hallowe'en spirt!

I'll believe that Apple's new AirPods can translate from other languages in real time once my iPhone can at least detect that the language being spoken is not English and should not be transcribed as such
Screenshot of a voicemail transcript from my iPhone saying "We will be out of service today for details English service press, one Chinese press two Yo honey, you need a deal why she only tongue jump. I can think you but die should you yell shouting in you fooling and you doing lunching on earth?..."

Switched from Starbucks to Blenz because 🇨🇦 #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦

Good thing elbows are also an effective defense against creeps

Some strategizing going on about how to set up our spreadsheet of who's going to which games, so we know how to adjust the initial cost split
Screen shot of a Signal group chat. First text: "With 3 PhDs and an MBA I think we can figure something out!" Reply: "My PMP will be no use here as the way the PMI think, we'd each go to 2 periods of every game"

I hope everyone else who has a naughty pet called Piper is still getting as much mileage out of that one White Lotus quote as we are

We found this pen with a vaguely threatening aura in the back of a drawer. Neither of us can remember where it came from. There’s no logo or other text anywhere on it. My friend has a similar one that says “Be Kind” and also doesn’t remember where she got it

Who the hell is spending $22 for a steak for their dog?!
Photo of a “bone appetit” menu for dogs from Steamworks in North Vancouver. Options range from $6 for a burger patty to $22 for a 7-ounce sirloin and grilled broccolini. For reference, I had a burger and fries for $24

When my niece was born, I took her a sea otter stuffed toy from the Vancouver Aquarium. He was duly named Stanley (the aquarium is in Stanley Park) and became a big favourite. She's visiting us for the first time next month, and Stanley is "probably" coming. Just sent my sister this to show her
Photo of my TV showing a paused image from Game 1 of the Oilers-Panthers Stanley Cup final series. The electronic advertising hoardings behind the players say "COME HOME STANLEY! CANADA MISSES YOU!"

Just a reminder that Trudeau still lives rent-free in a lot of very weird people's heads. It's my favourite thing about him.

The sign! I am *wheezing*

Nice t-shirts 🤣
Bad photo of paused screen on my TV during the Leafs-Panthers. Two men in the front row of the crowd are wearing blue T-shirts with white letters saying “LEAFS SUCK”

Yep, there’s a commemorative statue and everything

❤️🇫🇯 Vinaka, Fiji! 🇫🇯❤️ we’ll be back…

Minimizing my Facebook use means I’m having to make my friends jealous of our vacation one group chat at a time. Much less efficient! Anyway, Fiji is amazing and everyone should visit

Happy second birthday to my platonic ideal lap cat Banjo (black nose) and my cat-shaped alien freak Piper (pink nose). They are too big to share this bed now, but they don’t let that stop them
Photo of two black and white cats curled up together in a grey fleecy cat bed. They mostly fit, but a few body parts are spilling out. The one being sat on looks peaceful; the one on top looks less comfortable
