Staring at Vancouver sunsets instead of work screens is a better way to live.

Ripley unhappy about the sun.

Movie theatres forever!

Mid panic attack returning from the groomer and still gorgeous.

Being comfortable enough to share my last four is a better high any FIFA Peace Prize could ever give.

More night time experiments.

Those are rookie numbers.

What unbelievably perfect timing!

Been working on a hate/love letter to my childhood.

I assume 2026 budget cuts mean this 2026 project is dead.

I’m insanely frustrated with Ken Sim’s inability to grasp basic concepts not supported by Chip Wilson or VPD.

I want everyone to have a Vancouver that belongs to them and their community.

Tax us, bro.

Somehow Ripley was already in the marketing materials for the fenced-in dog park.

That said, Ripley is shockingly social. She loves meeting dogs and kids and wants to be chased, but she needs somewhere familiar and enclosed to flourish.

Out of the gate she was sweet and gentle despite plenty of trauma.

A few notable scars, perpetually nervous around traffic and mechanical noise like trains or large trucks. We have one of the few dogs that doesn’t love going outside.

In 2020 we managed to buy an apartment. A few months later we had a mixed-breed street dog from Guadalajara named after Lt Ellen Ripley from Alien.

There’s a lot in Vancouver’s 2026 budget that’s unbelievably dumb, but I get most mad for our rescue dog and a nearby park. 🧵

Looking like dinner for us is just a whiskey tasting.

Watched Dead and Buried tonight because we can’t rent out a theatre for my birthday to watch it.

I love how hard it goes, absolute classic, sad I couldn’t surprise dozens of friends with it.

I’m furious with how vividly they recreated the tactile on/off switch.

Every time I see Snell.

I mostly forgot to keep this updated (surgery changes priorities), but our friend killed Week 4 with Hereditary.

Night shoot 1 in East Van.

Signing up the dog for driving lessons.

For dessert it was small town America all the way with apple compote on ice cream with a graham cracker.

We served Jell-O shots with gummy bears, alongside arancini with marinara dip.

The cocktail was a blackberry bramble.

Week 1 of October surprise in the bag.
We do The Blob (1988)!
