After not a whole lot of personal deliberation, I’ve decided to suspend Wanton Wednesdays indefinitely. To be rather blunt, my life is severely lacking inspiration so it has become a near-impossible column to keep writing.
Here’s your chance to ask me anything: with only one sleep left until Becky and I head to Vancouver Island for a girls’ weekend, it’s only fair to share with all of you that we’ll be doing our first ever podcast together, BC Ferries edition. However, it’s something we want all of you involved in. Becky and I, through our respective blogs, are fielding questions from you the readers and essentially interviewing each other during the podcast.
Feel free to e-mail me (keira at keira-anne dot com) or leave a question for myself or Becky in the comment section. You can leave your name or do it anonymously and the sky’s the limit. You have until 3pm tomorrow (Thursday) to ask your question in time for tomorrow evening’s podcast. I’ll let you know when the podcast will be available for your ears.
Duane Storey is the top Vancouver blogger. No really, let me say it again, Duane Storey is the top Vancouver blogger. May the force be with him.
Ladies, looking for a way to tote all your MP3s around and protect yourself at the same time? Forget Tupperware and dildos…why not attend a Taser party? Swarovski Crystal Limited Edition coming soon.
As of February 15, 2008, the Comox Strathcona Regional District (spanning Campbell River to Hornby Island and all points in between) will cease to exist, and instead be split into two regional districts. This cost-ineffective decision was made behind closed doors and allegedly without proper consultation. Coincidentally enough, the split will provide for commercial growth, while reducing representatives for different areas of the district and increasing property taxes and expenses for those residing in the area. Read this article I published last week if you haven’t already.
It’s not all bad in the Comox Valley. Politics aside, Mt. Washington has received close to half a foot of fresh powder over the last 24-48 hours and is on “fresh powder alert” all week. If you’re even slightly intrigued, considering joining Becky and I up there on the hills on Friday for the Kokanee Day For Dudes.

Once in a while, a really fantastic yet seldom heard of movie comes along. General Roméo Dallaire’s book, Shake Hands With the Devil: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda, was transformed into a big screen version through Canadian production, turning the spotlight on the Rwandan genocide of 1993 and 1994 through the eyes of the UN workers stationed there. Watching it last night I was heartbroken, angered and emotionally drained. If you can find a copy to get your hands on, it’s well worth the watch. Click here to view the trailer on YouTube. [wiki]
Looking forward to the podcast and the visit with Becky!
I’m also looking forward to the podcast! Not to mention very envious that while I’m working this weekend, you two beauties will be out shredding with hot boys. Have fun! (like there’s any question about that!)
Great movie; really hard to get it in my country but i finally did, as you said “it’s well worth the watch…”. I’m one of your new blog readers so keep up the inspiration
