I know I’ve been MIA the past couple of weeks but I do have the valid excuse of apartment moving to back me up for my neglect.

Lots of things have happened, not the least of which include:

• Oscar nominations – Natalie Portman basically has the best actress award guaranteed. The race for best picture will be interesting. Nice to see Toy Story 3 and 127 Hours in the list.
• Men’s Fall/Winter 2011 Collections – I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: Best part of fall/winter are the clothes. Love summer weather, but winter fashion is a lot nicer to look at. My favourites of the bunch came from Junya Watanabe and Moncler.
• Steve Jobs takes a medical leave from Apple for an undetermined time; Google tries to one-up Apple yet again with news of Eric Schmidt stepping down as CEO to be replaced by O.G. (Original Google) founder Larry Page.

I promise to have a proper midweek roundup of links again starting next week when I’m all settled in my new apartment.

Lastly, I leave you with a question/request: Does anybody know where I can buy a pair of Ralph Lauren Polo Matteo rain boots in Vancouver? I don’t want to order them online since shoes really need to be fitted before purchasing, but I have no idea?
