Rediscovering Vancouver

Once spring and summer rolls around, it seems as though Vancouver is a whole new city. Maybe it's that new things seem to pop up out of nowhere or maybe you'll notice something that you'd never taken the time to appreciate... or maybe it's just spring/summer fever.


Examples of Vancouver Awesomeness:

I saw this in a tree just a few blocks from my place.

I don't know when or why someone decided to put these up, but I know I love it.



I saw this parked by my place the other day:

Aaaaaand....

See? Even Vancouver graffiti is awesome!


What is this, a door for ANTS???

Nope. It's the home of the Nelson Gnome. (Nelson and Jervis)











And I saw this just yesterday.

'Nuff said.

Adele says she plans on "F*cking off for 5 years."

Adele says she's tired of writing break up albums and she's fed up with being a 'bitter witch.'

After walking away with 6 Grammys on Sunday, Adele has decided that she'll be taking 4 - 5 years away from the music industry to focus on her personal life and her relationship with new boyfriend Simon Koneck.

(NOOOOO!!!! SAY IT AIN'T SO!!!!)

In a recent interview with Vogue, the singer says she blames her hectic work schedule for the failure of her previous relationships. She goes on to say that with time off, " at least now I can have enough time to write a happy record. And be in love and be happy. And then I don't know what I'll do. Get married. Have some kids. Plant a nice vegetable patch."

There's no word yet on exactly when Adele will be walking away from the spotlight, but rest assured, she'll be greatly missed :(.

RANDOM FACT: I once read an interview with Adele  (AKA: Adele Laurie Blue Adkins) where she said that she kept her Grammys above her toilet (after winning a bunch of the awards for her debut album back in 2009). I'm thinking she'll need a bigger bathroom.





Here's one of my favourite tunes by Adele.




Enjoy!

Something to make your Friday EXTRA awesome!!!

Found this by accident.
A wicked cover to the 80's tune 'Take On Me' by the Norwegian band A-ha.
So what makes this so amazing awesome and different from any other cover? Click and find out for yourself.




Ahhh yes. Nothing says sexy like an accordion. You may think I'm kidding, but I'm not. For realzies.

In case you're too young (or confused) to remember the tune, here's the original version.



I remember being in love with the lead singer... and I was less than 5 years old. (Those crazy Latina's!!!)

Enjoy!!!
