Soooo, yesterday was amazing. The three Criterion blu-rays I ordered last week all showed up on the same day! Stanley Kubrick's THE KILLING, Sidney Lumet's 12 ANGRY MEN, and Jean-Pierre Melville's ARMY OF SHADOWS, all masterpieces in their own right. Stay tuned to my other blog levideoshelf.blogspot.com, where I write about movies, because I'm sure I will talk about these in the near future!

And THE KILLING is kind of a double feature because it has Kubrick's KILLERS KISS too!

Maria Bean took a few of these, I lost track of which ones, but definitely the top one!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I sure did! I'm ashamed to say that I didn't take any pictures at all. Oops! Oh well. A few days off before back to work for 2012, and I have a full slate of audio-visual materials to consume! On the docket this week:

Some movies I got this Christmas (Not pictured: "The Social Network")

And some great books!

And my trip to the library today was fruitful as well!

So we randomly went to the Kanye West and Jay-Z concert on Saturday! Someone came into Maria's work and gave her some tickets so we went! It was incredible! Two of the world's top performers at the top of their game. Amazing music, lights, effects, and performances! And my god the lasers! So here's a mega post of the best pictures I took! Concerts can hard to photograph and I just had my little Canon S95 which isn't the best in the dark, so the shots are a little grainy and out of focus but you still get the atmosphere of the whole thing. Enjoy!

Originally, I thought this part of my fridge was a complete waste of space because I don't really drink pop, and beer never really lasts long enough to merit an entire section of the door, but then I remembered I do drink Root Beer.

I was on the island for Thanksgiving this weekend, and on Sunday morning went for a stroll up Mount Doug. It was a nice crisp day and on the way up we ran into a colleague of my dad's named Paul Butterfield who is putting together a great blog called Hike Every Park, about the 149 named parks in Saanich. Have a look at his blog! It is very in depth and has a lot of great photos!

Well it is another sad day, the video store I used to work, Applause Videos, for has closed. It seems like that is the way they are all going. Videomatica on West 4th is closing soon, Applause closed, Happy Bats closed, that one on Denman closed. There's only Black Dog on Commercial (and Cambie), and who knows how long they will last? For these businesses, it is impossible to compete with the internet, especially services like Netflix. So sad days ahead for video store owners and lovers! ;(

Last week we made some meatballs from scratch! They were delicious. Extra lean ground beef + parsley + 2 eggs + salt & pepper + various spices + breadcrumbs (piece of twice-toasted toast, pulverized) + onion. Mushed it all together, then rolled them into balls, put a thumbprint into it and stuffed it with feta cheese! Then we fried 'em up, put the pasta on, got out the big pot and cooked up some tomato sauce, added some spinach, and tada! They were delicious! Next time I'd like to try goat cheese. It was fun and easy, give it a go!

YUM!

Then we went to see CITIZEN KANE last night, at a free outdoor screening in the Olympic Village. It was great!
And at 6:30 this morning the clouds were doing something pretty!

Starting with: Google street view mobile! Look for me on Denman!
This was on the lid of a garbage can in a kitchen in a penthouse in Richmond:
I really, really, really want to watch this Japanese 70s gangster movie:

I really wanted it to take off but I had to leave:

So I know the Canucks still need one more win to bring home the Cup, but this is what it looked like on Granville last Friday evening after we won Game 5 in Vancouver. It was so nuts! Whatever the final outcome, this was a great celebration! Very awesome.
And then a bit later we continued to celebrate at a party on the roof of a downtown parkade that had beer and music! It was excellent!

So on the way back from Portland we drove out to the coast and took the 101 up the Washington coast! It was gorgeous. I cannot take credit for any of these pictures, this is all Maria's talent!

I tried on some suits at the Nordstrom's Rack. I'm going to three weddings this summer!
Maria took these!

We had pizza in a haunted pizza factory!

I love these shoes. So much I decided to retire the old pair and replace them with the identical ones. Those old ones took me far from the Northern reach of Scotland to the Sahara Desert and of course to every corner of the Lower Mainland and beyond! I think I'm always going to own a pair of these.
