As many of you know, my primary fandom for many years was C6D, or "movies and TV shows filmed in Canada which probably have Callum Keith Rennie in them but if they don't they have Paul Gross in them, but they might have both of them, and probably other familiar faces, too, because there are only twelve actors in Canada" (as aptly illustrated by barkley's ( Read more... )

Actually I don't have a girlfriend, but for some reason the Avenue Q song has been stuck in my head, because I am in Canada! I am drinking maple-flavoured tea. I have been hiking in the Canadian Rockies and getting rained on a lot, but I don't care, because Canada ( Read more... )

This story, which came across my Facebook feed, cracks me up more than it has a right to: Bank of Canada urges ‘Star Trek’ fans to stop ‘Spocking’ their fivers. Apparently Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the seventh Prime Minister of Canada, can be transformed into Mr. Spock with a few artistically-placed pen strokes:

So everyone is Yuletide this and Yuletide that, and you know what that means, don't you? It's time to start thinking about the C6D 6 degrees of Valentine's Day exchangeExcept...I don't think I want to run it again. I have always enjoyed doing it - it's a low-key and fairly low-stress fest and I love seeing what people create - but I just can't ( Read more... )

The episode of The Murdoch Mysteries that we watched last night was basically undercover in a gay bar. Well, the turn-of-the-century equivalent, anyway. But, hee!

Last night B and I watched the second episode of BBC's Sherlock (The Blind Banker). (There was someone on my flist who was wondering which story it was based on; I think it's loosely modeled on The Sign of the Four, with China substituted for India.) It was okay, although I wish that Watson got to be more than the goofy sidekick and actually use ( Read more... )

B has been gone all week, so I have been indulging myself in fannish media that I figure he wouldn't be interested in:

• Kiss Kiss Bang Bang: I think I'm developing a crush on RDJ. Also, the narrative voice in this one made me think of the Harry Dresden audiobooks, for some reason, and now I kind of want a crossover Harry/Harry.
• Breakfast with Scot: ( Read more... )

You know how sometimes you watch an episode of your show and you think, "hey, I totally read that fic!" Or even, "hey, I totally wrote that fic!" Right?

In this case it's art, not fic. But - remember my due South art-thingy, Unexpected Hazards of Global Warming?

Check out this U-Haul mural! Well, okay, it's the opposite coast, and the ( Read more... )

I finally managed to watch the interview this morning. Oh, Paul. You are beautiful and funny and smart. I would have dinner with you and give you money!

The bit (do I need to cut for interview spoilers?) about "all our famous actors" being in his new project made me giggle, because, don't they know about Canadian Actor BingoTangentially, although ( Read more... )
