So this week off from school has been fairly productive, I suppose. More or less. I could have always gotten more work done. (And now I'm second-guessing the way I phrased that because my British mother always tells me that "gotten" is a filthy, clumsy Americanism and that I shouldn't use it. >_> BUT IT JUST COMES OUT NATURALLY THAT WAY WHAT SHOULD

On the one hand, I LOVE that it really does encourage the polite, nature-loving Canadian shtick, because it really does improve our reputation around the world (also, Fraser is HOT) but on the other hand, making him from the North-West Territories, while really being an integral part of his over-the-top awesomeness, also has totally done nothing to deny the widely-held belief that Canada is nothing but a frozen wasteland. :P Still, SUCH an awesome series!
I personally love that he can speak Inuktitut (and that Diefenbaker can READ HIS LIPS when speaking it!), and, just... gah! I do like that the Americans were given some things to do after a season or so, because it was getting a bit awkward sometimes to watch the smart-Canadian-to-the-dumb-American stereotype all the time. >_> Everyone has their own strengths!
Also, Pee Ess, if you like Paul Gross... have you seen him in Gunless yet? It is a hilarious movie that makes loads of in-jokes about the fact that he once played a mountie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK-Md46Exxs (Although unfortunately I couldn't find a trailer without this annoying voice over guy.)

But yeah, great show. My family still quotes it all the time: "Why do I always have to be the fulcrum?" is a particular favorite. :D

I CAN'T PICK JUST ONE FAVOURITE LINE FROM THAT SERIES. D: D: D:
Also, I totally found this amazing person who writes in-character, novel-length (at times) Due South fanfic. They can be found here (be warned, only enter if you actually have free time to spare):

To get a taste of the awesomeness, here is a short one-shot. (Slash, of course):

For a good novel-length one: http://www.trickster.org/speranza/CMWanted.html
(Essentially, through crazy shenanigans, Fraser manages to lose his memory (yes, yes, I know, bear with me) and then, through MORE crazy but COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDABLE misunderstandings, becomes a criminal mastermind. It's amazing. And, against all the odds, COMPLETELY in-character.)
