BPL AIN’T NUTHIN’ TO F WIT!

Another reason why Vancouver is so awesome is that it’s neighbouring suburbs are awesome as well.  Living in Hastings Sunrise, it’s pretty easy for me to use alot of Burnaby’s facilities, from community centers to libraries.

As mentioned in my Sunday post, me and Sue have been together forever, so we watch alot of movies.  It’s also morphed from going to movies, to renting movies, now we get them out of the library.  Both Vancouver and Burnaby have a great selection of movies, the websites are really easy to use too, you request ‘em and they send you an email when they’re ready.

Sometimes I get so excited when I find another gem that I can barely contain myself….  and sometimes I run around the library with fingers out and thumbs locked screaming, “WU-TANG!  WU-TANG!”

Can’t say it was the most romantic movie ever…..

    My wife is pretty hardcore with library movie rentals as well. If you’re in the right branch at the right time, you get some pretty awesome quickviews.

  • Boon

    in the past little bit, ive rented A Band a Part, some Zhang Yimou movies, Casino Royale, Chomsky documentary, Brazil travel documentary, Bernie Madoff documentary, and tons of others which i am never able to finish in the week’s time. i think you’re allowed 5 dvds at a time. yeah, you’d be pretty surprised what others you can find though, its not all artsy farts and foreigns.

    btw, the brand new bby kingsway lib in HIGHgate ;p is now open and really bright and shiny if you drive by at night.

    is that a new library at kingsway and main too?

  • Jef Choy

    Yeah….my new game plan is going through the ‘what’s new’ section of dvd’s and getting them shipped to my nearest library. That and like what keith said…diggin’ through the crates….

    When a video pops into my mind I check it too but yeah, like most I like to browse.

    i spend quit a bit of time with my dad at cameron branch library in burnaby by lougheed since i also live on the hastings sunrise and we always find the coolest stuff – especially when it comes to martial arts movies and films.

    right now i have a stack of bruce lee’s fighting methods & wing-chun sitting on my shelves. they also always have a good collection of music – both new and old.

  • Boon

    Hey, Choy, on a bit of a sider:
    Were you aware that – if the “wu” in “Wu-Tang” is the same as the “wu” in “wushu,” which im sure is – its the same character as “Bu” in “bushi” or “bushido”?

    ? = “Wu” or “Bu”
    ?? = Wushu
    ??= Bushi (which became synonymous with samurai)
    ??? = Bushido

    Yeah…..anyhow, im gonna try and get some pics of the new Bby Kingsway Lib, looks pretty cool at night…..

  • Boon

    shit, the characters came out as “?”s :(

  • http://fairwaysandflips.blogspot.com/ Keith

    Shipping to your nearest branch rules!

    We just watched True Blood and It’s always sunny in Philly box sets the past several weeks 8)

    The waiting list looks long but you get up the queue pretty fast.
