Randomness, Chinese New Years & Olympic Chaos

Ok, here is a huge update of my antics on Sunday. But first a few photos I took on the SkyTrain while traveling home last week.

Downtown Vancouver & Olympic Saturation

Today I went to Downtown to film a lizard for his web show and in between filmed I took lots of photos of the Olympic & Canadian branding of Vancouver and other bits of randomness.

Anti-Olympics Propaganda.

Sliding in the snow & more randomness

Went to the AFI Concert last night & went snowboarding today at Mt Seymour. So here are some photos of randomness and from up the mountain.

My name in weeded vinyl.

It's SNOWING!!!

It's snowing again today, but it was a better fall than last time & since I have the day off I went out to take photos.

Looking out the door.

SNOW!!!

Today it snowed! It wasn't much, but it was still really cool being somewhere when it's snowing.

The snow at my work at about 10am this morning. My work's entrance can be seen on the left edge of the picture and the van on the left is the work van.

The snow from around lunchtime while we were out on a job fixing signs.

Christmas & Survival & Olympics & Billy Talent

The Christmas lights on the naked trees at the local church.

Frosty Coldness

Some random pics of my daily trip to work on the bus & the uber frost that has been there every morning this week. The weather has gone from constant rain to perfectly blue skies & chilly mornings, the highs get up to about 5 degrees & gets down to -5 degrees.

Metamorphisis

Today I got my hair cut and shaved off all my facial hair.

Stage 1

Survival & X-mas

Since I got my job I haven't had much time to explore and take photos of things, in fact I haven't had much time for anything. My job is pretty much the same sort of thing as my job back in NZ.
It's definitely winter here now, the temperature is sitting around 5-8 degrees highs and it has been raining for most of November, there has been flooding on Vancouver Island and there is a 4 1/2 metre snow base at Whistler (one of the mountains a few hours north, where some of the Olympic events are going to be held) and the local mountains across in North Vancouver have opened early. Duane is going snowboarding tomorrow up at Cypress, while I have to go to work.

Duane's grandparents sent him across a survival package along with his winter clothes. I really miss being able to go down to the local dairy or service station and buy a mince & cheese pie.

The Christmas lights on the house across the street, they have been up for the past week or so. I think it's a little early for them to be up. The shops have been selling Christmas stuff since before Halloween.

Dead animals and bits of culture.

Today I went to the Museum of Vancouver to look at stuffed animals and the history of Vancouver.

Our random pet spider that lives in the bathroom.

Science Madness!!!

Today I went to Science World to play, learn and touch stuff including a live snake and of course I took lots of random pictures. Here are some of the best.

The countdown clock for the Olympics in the square outside the art gallery.

Deadites sing songs

Tonight Duane & I, took in some culture and went to the Vogue Theater, in Downtown Vancouver to see Evil Dead: The Musical.

Unlife in the city

Today I went to pick up my pay cheque for my House of Horror work, Duane tagged along and we stopped at IHOP for lunch.

Halloween In Vancouver

Here are the last of the House of Horrors pics and a few other randoms.

NHL commentators look exactly like NRL commentators. It's not the best photo but you get the idea.
