Been there, done that, or thinking about it... another word for a journal!

Viken's summary of things to do and places to be in Vancouver, BC. I did a BA in film and have a few friends in the Arts+Culture field and know some really fabulous people who keep me in invitations to exceptional and memorable events/places around town that I like to write about in my broken english. I hope it's not just art reviews, but great eats, little hideaway places and the fantastic awesomness of the nature that surrounds us... my guide to great urban living!

The Scale of the Universe

This is a part II of a previous bit I wrote about the Scale of the Planets: Astronomical size and distance in the Universe and light speed

Attached is a lovely video about time as we know it...Carl Sagan
s Cosmos series, dated but worth it, it should be in every household.

The best thing about this video is that it's so short.
enjoy the "aaaaaah"

: Name: Viken's word; Location: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Exotic in many ways. I come from a very diverse background which is reflected in my varying tastes. I am a Lebanese born Armenian,grew up in Syria until I was 10 when we moved to Montreal - after a brief sejour in Athens. I speak many languages and enjoy diversity as well as eccentricity. I have worked as a cook, book clerk, a houseboy, a chauffeur and a producer's assistant ... then I turned 20! Since then I have held a variety of jobs in the public contact, the government, and finance sectors and have been self employed as a decorative painter. Most recently I have been working in the Arts and Culture field trying to build up my writing and project coordinating skills. I live in a beautiful CoOp in Strathcona and love other people's pets.
