My Life at London
I know I haven’t updated for God knows how long, and Frank should have kicked me off the site ages ago, but here I am updating! You know what it took for me to finally finish an update? Being stuck on a bus for an hour and a half this morning. There was a major traffic jam as I... Continue »My three-week Trip to Europe
Looking back… that’s what everyone does at this time of year, but seriously I need to give an update here. So looking back at the last 6 months I’ve had a pretty good time. In October I went to Europe for 3 weeks. Highlights were Manchester, I met Andy Rourke from the Smiths (my bass idol) in a café... Continue »
My New Place in Canada
Whew. I just spent the long weekend (in Canada) moving and painting. I’m so excited my new place is sooo much nicer then our last. We only moved across the hall so it’s a bit pathetic. Not a BIG move but it has made a world of difference. I live with 3 people, my boyfriend, best friend, and Rob.... Continue »
My Silent Grudge to the American...
Hey There, Mar here from your friendly neighbour to the North, Canada! Hello my fellow Human beings. Ok, as a Canadian I’d just like to do a little rant about the war and such. First off it really irks me how the American government is mad at Canada for not helping them in their war with Iraq. Well, excuse... Continue »
I’m Turning 22
Werd. So, it’s my birthday in a couple weeks. I’m gonna be the big 22. I was only turning 20 when I first started writing for coolgrrrls so now it’s been an official 2 year stint (excluding the last 6 months which I haven’t written anything). My bad. But that’s all going to change as I’m going to start... Continue »
Life and Loves of a Coolgrrrl
I love being a Coolgrrrl with all my heart and soul, because it means that I get to go out and party like a biatch! Look at me shaking my boot-ay! I’m a wild cat! Or maybe just very, very, silly! That brave guy dancing with me is my friend Monkeyman, DJ, great guy and soon to be travelling... Continue »
Back to School
Hey Hey Hey Girls and Boys, Happy going back to school time. I feel the pain even though I have a job and work all year round. The summer months seem a little slacker than the rest so I have not been looking forward to September either. But alas there’s lots to look forward to this fall in Vancouver.... Continue »
Reading Festival
Sunshine greetings Coolrrreaders!! THE SUN IS OUT IN LONDON!!

Let’s just hope it stays sunny for my annual outing at The Reading Festival. Loyal readers will remember my previous updates... Continue »
FUBAR, a weird and funny film
All right People, what’s going on? Summer is fast approaching and everyone’s getting ready to take their holidays, rolling out the camping gear, adding up the airmiles, or whathaveyou. As for me I’ll probably just be hanging around Vancouver for most of the summer. I’m thinking of going to Europe in August but I only get 2 weeks vacation... Continue »
Pin Ups
I had a dream about the Pin Ups (www.thepinups.co.uk) last night – can’t remember the details but we were all attending somebody’s wedding?! Anyway. I am taking time out to relate to you a moral tale. And to warn all you girlies of the dangers of being arrogant and overconfident in the hope that you do not disgrace yourselves... Continue »
A Night with Elijah Wood and Franka...
Hello Everyone! I’m back with a quick update about what I got up to last week. I work for a radio show on CBC called RadioSonic and the last part of our show is always guest hosted by an up and coming journalist/musician of some sort… anyway, this particular evening we had two special guest hosts in Elijah Wood...

Torn Between Two Cities
Hey Dudes, What’s shaking? My life is all topsy-turvy right now. Things are all up in the air at my office. Not getting along too well with one of my co-workers. Very emotionally stressful. Bawh (as my friend Craig Laskey would say). My life has also been a little chaotic due to all the traveling I’ve been doing lately.... Continue »
A Bit of News Here
Hey ho Coolrrreaders. Whattup?! I emerge from my catatonia with little exciting news. Sad but true!! It was my birthday on March 9th, as a dreamy, romantic Piscean I was surprised to end up below the tables in my much loved (if a little ikky) favourite pub, The Shakespears Head. One too many Chocolate Orange cocktails, a simple but... Continue »
Been Lazy to Type
Welcome once again to Mar’s world and a belated Happy New Year to Everyone! This is just a quick update to get re-aquainted I have been behind in my writing but I have also been very very busy! So please forgive my lazy ass. First thing’s first. I turned 21 last week which means I can now go drinking... Continue »
Sucks to be Sick
Hello Coolgrrrls, Just like Buffy – I’m back from the dead and writing again. Jeez it’s been forever. Let’s just say I had many personal issues to work out. Add to that got made redundant from my record label job and band problems and you have a whole nervous breakdown right there! So now I’m looking for a new... Continue »
Chilling Out with Cool Guys
Whoa… Mar here with another update already! I must be chained to my computer. I never get more than one entry done a month. But I just had to talk about what’s been going on in the Vancouver area. First of all i spent the last week hanging out with Orchestral Pop Noir Romantique superstars The Dears who’s home... Continue »
Enjoy my Travel Logs
