Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-06-13
- Georgia St closed starting at 2pm (!) today for 5pm Boston/Canucks game. Olympic Cauldron being lit at 3pm. Isn't anybody *working* today!? #
- iOS 5 is going to break sharing one Apple account within a family. If you do that now you're going to get each other's contacts, photos, etc #
- So now those of us who share Apple acc't with spouses will have to share photos, contacts, etc? @buzzbishop @trishussey #ios5 #wwdc #
- A: "We want the Cup!" Q: (a little less clear on the idea) "We want a cup! We want a cup!" #
- This is a pretty ugly hockey game now. Also? Can we put all the refs through a reeducation program before next season? #
- They might be winning 4-0, but the Bruins aren't showing a lot of class tonight. #
- Also? Will there be enough players left on the bench to finish the game? Do rules say anything about a minimum number of players per side? #
- Vancouver? Giving up two short-handed goals? Really? Hope you show up on Wednesday. #
- Well at least it's not a complete embarrassment. #
- Hooray! Blocked my first hockey troll. #
- OK, I take it back about it not being a complete embarrassment. #CanuckCollapse #
- I liked Thomas' check, but if he's getting physical with the skaters, they should be able to get physical with him. #ShadesOfHextall #
- Consoling myself from tonight's Canucks loss by throwing another vote to @CarouselTheatre's attempt to win a $25k grant http://bit.ly/kCMcqz #
- Rome hit on Horton: Shoulder to the head, left his feet, blindside, no puck in sight. I bet Rome's gone for the rest of the playoffs. #
- Wind blows in my face // Gusts rock the bike side to side // Puff, puff, up the hill #twaiku #blusteryday #
- .@CityCaucus Really? It's shocking that @VanRealDeal had *lobster* at a dinner for a conference in Halifax? I don't think so. #
- Do you wave to your kids as they get on the school bus in the morning? I bet you don't do it like this: http://bit.ly/kVGOwN (via @Kimli) #
- Argh, E3 and WWDC means that my Google Reader is all clogged up. 512 unread items *today*!? #
- Slowly coming to the realization that very little pop music is in my vocal range, but New Wave and Emo is. Now, where did I put my eyeliner? #
- News flash: Conferences have banquets. Banquets in Halifax serve lobster. Lobster in NS is cheap. Politics in BC can be crazy. #bcpoli #
- As bad as the cyclist vs motorist vs pedestrian issue is in Vancouver, it's nothing like NYC: http://bit.ly/iEF6OD (3 min video) #
- Looking at the pic of the "Dunbar Rock" … I'm a little underwhelmed http://flic.kr/p/9PJK8k #
- And once again the refs are the 6th player on the ice for the Bruins. #canucks #
- Mind you there's more diving happening in this game than in a soccer game. #
- I *know* I'm going to get jumped on by all the LouLovers, but Luongo has not been sharp at all this game. #
- Are you kidding me? #
- 3-0 now. How high are the Bruins going to run the score tonight? #
- Remember when the Vancouver powerplay was some their opponents feared? Those were the days. The Bruins have been more effective shorthanded! #
- Schneider should get the game 5 start. Particularly if he lets in fewer than 3 this period. #
- Everyone saying that we can't blame Luo? A sub 0.800 (or even a sub 0.900) save percentage does not win anyone Stanley Cup final games. #
- Canucks? That was stupid. Way to get yourself thrown out of the game. #
- The cats didn't sleep much last night and Q was up at 5:15. Thursday is shaping up to be an epic effort to stay awake and human. #
- Lots of caches being published, very few of them for the BCGA Blitz. Is the BCGA becoming irrelevant to BC geocachers? #
- Our wonderful "green" LEEDS Silver building is current heating our suite to 26C … and we can't open our windows. #FocusFail #
- It's Friday, game day // Gonna play those Bruins // Don't blow it again #twaiku #canucks #
- 31 people *killed*, over 3000 people sick due to e.coli contaminated "organic" sprouts from Germany. "Organic" != "better for you" #
- Bwahaha, another muggle conversion #geocaching RT @CanuckMackem: @AnthonyFloyd sounds interesting. I'm going to have to read up on this #
- Could the refereeing in this series be *any* worse? Absolutely shameful for the NHL. As well as the diving by the Canucks players. Shameful. #
- We have a drop-side crib to get rid of. It has a broken top-rail that has been repaired. Is it worth anything to anyone? #YVR #
- The crib works great as a toddler bed too, and we have a mattress that is in in great shape (but with a slight tear in the cover) #yvr #
- OH: Knocking him down is fine, but shooting the puck is better! #canucks #
- Really!? A 6'9" giant pushes a Canuck into his own goalie, and the Canuck gets the penalty? Incredible. #
- "Ref you suck!" from the crowd. Loudly. Deservedly. #canucks #
- Bull. Shit. #
- Burrows dives so much, he just fell over when Daniel touched him. #canucks #
- OH: "One of these teams could get within 1 win of the championship tonight" Erm, no. One of these teams *will*. #BestOfThree #
- After this game, I've lost most of my respect for Burrows. Has he been taking lessons from soccer players? #diving #canucks #
- FINALLY #
- The Canucks are playing with a confidence they haven't shown for … about 160 minutes #
- The hockey announcer sounds stunned and a cheer goes up in the neighbourhood: A penalty was called on Boston! #incredible #canucks #
- The sounds coming from across False Creek are incredible. #canuckswin #
- Still hearing the cheers from downtown … several kilometres away in Fairview. #canuckswin #
- Watching "The Doctor's Wife". A very @neilhimself-esque episode indeed. And, a most excellent #DoctorWho #
- That 40 million candle spotlight that Air-1 is shining on the 100,000+ revelers downtown is *bright* #canuckswin #
- Wow. A store just refused to take a $20 bill @LeftCoastMama just got from the bank machine w/o even checking to see if it was counterfeit! #
- Said they were expressly told not to take "old style" twenties. This one had a hologram but wasn't the most recent style. O_o #
- Treehouse at Capilano River Park http://instagr.am/p/FkKpn/ #
- RE that last photo. He made it to the top without any help, natch. #
- It's all fun and games until your stationmaster starts flinging feces at the passengers http://bit.ly/mMbYz4 #
- 9-11 "truthers" mixed in with the anti-HST crowd at a rally today. Gives you a good idea of the people involved in protesting the HST. #
- Once, just once, I'd like someone from the anti-HST crowd to show me some logic, some reasoning, instead of emotion. #bcpoli #
- Only 2 days left to vote to help @CarouselTheatre win a $25k grant from The Keg http://ow.ly/5g9JC #
