We's in California: April 2006
http://californiacanadians.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 23, 2006. See the vegetable man, in the vegetable van. California really does have it good when it comes to food. One of our favorite things has been the sense of regionality of the food here. The following is a list of major grocery chains and their Manitoban equivilants:. Smaller stores and quite expensive. Sort of like a chain of Vics on Pembina. Here you can find a great selection of. Am I stereotyping people who value healthy food and are willing to pay a fair price for it? There is on...

Monday, February 27, 2006. Mo-ka-la-ka-li-ki, come on you wanna. So the So-Cal surf scene is pretty lame. Some places, according to some people, if you're not a local you shouldn't be on the the specific beach in question. There are several criteria that disqualify you as being a local, but these same criteria do qualify you however to have your ass kicked if you try surf there and are as follows:. 1) If you have to drive down a certain road to get to a certain beach. 3) If you make more than minimum wage.

Friday, June 30, 2006. Since this will be the first Independance Day we've ever been in the States for, I thought I'd look around online and find out exactly "what it's all about". I dug up the official statements on Independance Day from the US Gvmt and compared them to the statement on Canada Day from the Canadian Gvmt. The US website states:. The Canadian website states.well it's a little more verbose. The format changed in 1968 with the addition of multicultural and professional concerts held.".

Saturday, July 08, 2006. The Second Cool Thing about Los Angeles. And while the show is on. I almost ate a whole thing of black licorice. About half the seats are normal but quite spacious, the other half actually looked like they had little tables in front of them. The acoustics: spot on. The crowd:. Dayna managed the two best quips of the night:. What is this, Springs? When the camera did a closeup of the guitar during a solo. (That's a Winnipeg one.). A really really big hat. Let me know.

Wednesday, March 29, 2006. 1,2,3,4, immigration, facial scarring, sharks, and The Dude. You know the one. If you don't personally know me, at least you may have discerned by now that I'm in my 20's, have learned to both read. As well as write, and can tie my own laces (unless they're on my skates, which is a whole new ballgame). So then why on Monday did I test to see if then iron was hot by holding it close to my face and. So how was surfing today? Earlier this year which looks pretty fun. California is...

Thursday, August 31, 2006. Weekend, I Prefer the Weekend. So someone's got one of those hot new messenger style "over the shoulder" bags. And if you're thinking "Hey, if you're so hardcore, why do you wear big ol' crosstrainers to ride a 10 speed? Well don't even think it, because I just bought some guy from Santa Rosa's smelly old cycling shoes off Ebay for $10. Posted by Gareth at Thursday, August 31, 2006. Friday, August 25, 2006.

Wednesday, November 30, 2005. We have found one of the few actual pedestrian areas in LA county and it's Santa Monica. Santa Monica is pretty much like every scene from White Men Can't Jump, except the Jeopardy scene. ("I'll take vegetables that start wit' Q! Santa Monica is pretty cool, there are lots of pedestrian areas, some local businesses, and a pier that I think I've seen in the movies before. At the end of said pier we came upon the man you see in this picture. This guy was super sweet. Also, I f...

Monday, October 30, 2006. Mattresses. On Kester. Note the shiny BMW beside the abandoned lot, rotting furniture, and gang spray painted fence. It's more Los Angeles than Los Angeles. And here's a picture of illegal immigrants getting a ticket for selling flowers on the. Side of the highway for cash. I. Suppose the previous sentence probably makes you angry no matter which side of the debate you're on. Talk amongst yourselves I guess. I just lay it out there.

Tuesday, December 27, 2005. They also get pretty stupid to. The craziest one is 97.9 "La Raza". It's a Spanish station that has their sticker on every. Older car in LA county. Their billboards are. EVERYWHERE and always have their flagship DJ "El Cucuy" giving a. Back to my main point, KPCC is great. The best part is that I've heard the CBC mentioned a few times in NPR news stories as sources and weekday evenings between 10 and 11.As it Happens! Posted by Gareth at Tuesday, December 27, 2005.

Saturday, September 23, 2006. LA County Dept of Health and Safety Notice 3847B.22 (rev C). Badly painted paintings by a painter someone who works there knows. Mismatched, wait, no, eclectic tables and chairs, each with 13 layers of paint. The girl behind the counter with short hair and one of those things on her chin. The huge assortment of herbal tea with flavors like mother earth zen, earthy zen buddha earth, and raspberry femi-choco blast. The table of asians. You say they're recycled? Doesn't matter&...
