Bates Motel Movie Set I was running past the film set the other day (not because Norman was there, it’s on my running route) and saw this. I don’t know when it was added but it’s definitely a new addition to the Bates Motel Movie Set. Nothing seems to be going on there right now. If you’ve heard when they’re …

I grew up watching the smurfs, so when we stumbled upon Blue Smurf ice cream in our local gelato spot, I was a bit grossed out. My kids however, were in love with it. It tastes a bit like Cotton Candy and Raspberry, and the color is definitely attractive to a pile of kids who think dying their tongues different …

We’ve had a teacher’s strike out here on the West Coast, and that means we were immediately thrown onto a fast moving train to crazy town for the past few weeks. There’s nothing quite like having summer instantly thrown at you. All of the plans we made and the slow build up to having the kids home full time has …

I’ve never made any bones about loving the Telus brand. Sometimes it seems to be in style to groan and moan about the cable company, but I’ve never had that experience and I think it’s kind of fun to tell other people that. From the moment I picked up my first Telus flip phone in 1998 to when I switched …

Someday, I swore, I’d use those points for a private Walt Disney studio tour. And when I did finally get in there, I’d go straight to the Walt Disney Archives and spend about 3 weeks …

Not very many people are as into Disney as I am, at least around where I live. Although I love Disneyland to the point where I’m an annual passholder (who lives in Canada, go figure), it’s the history of Disney and Walt Disney that really gets my motor running. Last week I did something that very few Disney fans get …

Every spring I look at my cherry tree blossoming and I feel a sick sort of dread. Yes, the trees that bloom here on the West Coast are beautiful, and when their blossoms fall off it rains a shower of pink petals onto the ground that are, in most people’s opinions, absolutely beautiful. And because it’s springtime I want to …

I live down the street from the Bates Motel set and I’ve got quite a few pictures of it on here. The Bates Motel is located at 1070 272nd Street in Aldergrove, BC. Here’s a Google Map to help you get there. This was taken long before they built the set so you can’t see the Psycho House on street …

Check out the Youtube video of Darth Maul and the puppets below If my son had to choose his favorite from all of the Disneyland attractions, he’d choose the Jedi Training Academy. Complete with Storm Troopers, Jedi, and Darth Vader fighting an epic battle of good vs evil, there isn’t much about it that a boy wouldn’t like. The Jedi …
