Wassup in today's time...

Remember the hilarious dudes from the "Wassup?" beer commercials?

Well, fast forward 8 years to today and the brilliant guys behind this social commentary made me laugh and feel very sad, yet hopeful. In no way affiliated with beer... it should totally be watched... seems like we could all use a good laugh these days anyway. Check it.

A good Georgia Straight article, written by Sarah Rowland, on how some of us singletons may have an easier time, in terms of affordability, as first time buyers in the Vancouver market... that's not to say you could score a good deal in Kits but buying a decent condo in a good area where you have value for money (and learn how to stretch a dollar, at least for me).

I recently bought my condo in Commercial Drive (and I'll love it once I'm out of boxes and the place is furnished), where the condo prices are reasonable (compared to say, Kits) and there seems to be a really good community of people. Besides, since I'm originally from New York, I absolutely need to be within a short walk to convenience and infrastructure. And, I guess that's another reason why I wouldn't want to live in Kits anyway, I'm not particularly outdoorsy. I don't swim, hike, go for long walks on the beach... I can run for the subway, yell for a cab, and spot roaches and mice from a mile away...

The 8 Phases of Dating

Created and illustrated by Matthew Inman

This is a cartoon about the relationship dance that I found on Digg. When you reach the end of the cartoon, it turns out it's actually a promo for a free online dating site called Mingle2. Anyway, never mind the site, the cartoon made me laugh and I wanted to share it because it really is funny.
