Apr. 27th, 2015 08:25 amGod almighty, the figures that are being thrown around regarding the Nepal earthquake are mind-boggling. The latest estimate is 3,800 people dead. 3,800 is the kind of figure that just makes no sense to me. I have made a small donation to Doctors Without Borders, as they seem like a reputable organization. Also a small donation to the PayPal Canada humanitarian coalition fund (PayPal is waiving their usual transaction fees for these charities). Remember, any donation over $10 gets you a tax receipt.
On a different note altogether, cutting for reaction spoilers to Avengers: Age of Ultron. Please note I haven't seen the movie yet (it doesn't open in Canada until Friday) and I haven't read any spoiler-y reviews, but I know some people consider reactions to be spoilers in and of themselves, so I'm being very careful:( Read more... )
I saw My Fair Lady yesterday at the Massey Theatre in New West. Really well done and enjoyable, but very looooooong. They made absolutely no cuts to the script whatsoever that I could see, and it meant that including intermission it was 3 frelling hours long. If you're going to put on an exceptionally long musical, at least have 2 intermissions so people can go to the bathroom more than once.
The Vancouver Canucks are out of the playoffs. Someone was letting off firecrackers in the alley the night of the game, after it had finished, so I assumed they had won. But no, Calgary won. I can only assume that Firecracker Guy was originally from Calgary, and celebrating in enemy territory. What a brave soul!
