Wind Mobile

2009-12-16T19:11:19Z

Excited for there to be a fourth cell phone company in Canada: welcome Wind Mobile.

I was really intrigued by this comment after the CBC article: "Can't wait for WIND to come to Vancouver.... with unlimited data, including tethering, and unlimited Canada wide calling for only $70 a month, I can cancel my home phone and home internet.... which will save me over $70 a month! Will be interesting to see how the big 3 respond."

Wind's website is down right now. Too much excited traffic no doubt. Can't wait to get a look at what sort of service wil be offered though.

Update: When my 3-year Rogers plan ends at the end of Aug. 2010, I want: the Wind approved Samsung Gravity 2 phone (one time $150 + HST) + the Wind Chat plan (not a contract, first month free, can change or leave any time, $20 + HST/month) + the Wind Voicemail Add-on ($5 + HST/month). Of course, we still have to wait for Vancouver to get coverage.

Thoughts? How does wind stack up next to your own cell service?

Lulu vs. VANOC

2009-12-16T17:32:12Z

Lululemon: Hey! Lookit our humorous clothing line called “Cool Sporting Event That Takes Place in British Columbia Between 2009 & 2011 Edition.”

VANOC: “We expected better sportsmanship from a local Canadian company than to produce a clothing line that attempts to profit from the Games but doesn’t support the Games or the success of the Canadian Olympic team.”

Me: Bitch, please! If the Olympics Superstore in The Bay in downtown Vancouver isn't solely a last ditch attempt to turn around HBC's multi-decade profit slump, then I'm a hockey puck! One pair of red mittens does not a philanthropist make.

PS-- I must get to a Lulu immediately! I want, I want! (Or at drag my sister there once she gets home on Sunday.)

PPS-- Most of the comments at the source are interesting. For example, if I bought a piece of lulu, I will still be supporting VANOC and the Olympics: to the tune of 5% GST and 7% PST.

Finally, scents that make sense.

2009-11-13T04:47:32Z

Last week mel_l took me along to Escents in Park Royal b/c they were having a big sale. I got a little bottle of their 'Tranquil' aroma blend. I've been heating it in an old burner I had. I haven't done the whole scented candle/ burning scented oil in a while, but I just love the subtlety of 'Tranquil'.

Unforch, it seems like my old burner has succumbed to age. It has some hair line cracks. I definitely need a new one. I promise not to buy one until after Christmas though! *wink nudge*

Glee: so good last night. It took me a while to come to that conclusion, but after thinking about it I decided that last night's theme of 'family' was really well done. Plus, the whole Down syndrome thing was really amazing for me. Brittany also needs more screen time.
