why can't i own a canadian?
OHLOOK: Entertainment Weekly appears to have named J.K. Rowling 'Entertainer of the Year' for 2007. One of many reasons I no longer subscribe to Entertainment Weekly (other reasons included but are not limited to a massive periodical backlog I've been amassing since summer, ongoing conflicts of interest with Stephen King, and the fact that Lisa

guess who recently decided to skim her f-list in a more economical, time-efficient fashion and accidentally skipped a whole bunch of entries as a result
I've actively been avoiding my flist lately, because my brain doesn't have room for "talking" and "kanji." It's an either/or proposition. So don't worry about it, really. Really.
I've heard due South is excellent
Well, it's not so much "excellent" as "singularly fascinating, like a low-speed traffic accident involving a circus train." It was on in the US when I was 14, and I thought that Fraser was, like, the most beautiful thing I had ever ever seen, ever ever. If I had had the internets back then, we are talking major survey site. Called... hmmm. "Chevalier Mal Fet," I think. As for the quality of the show, it's a sort of magical-realist cop drama in the first two seasons, and really well-done BL fanfic in the last two. All four years are infinitely more entertaining than nearly anything that's on tv now, though, so if you encounter it anyplace, watching an episode or two won't be a waste of your time. I think I might have a torrent hanging out somewhere around here, actually, if you'd like it.
I haven't had the chance to watch enough Doctor Who, either. Plus I'm still working out the "Fifth Doctor" versus "Ninth Doctor" or whatever. One of them seems to be Barty Crouch. Hm.
I don't know why people compare fandoms to religions, they're more like relationships.
They are! You are exactly right. In my case, they are sick, co-dependent relationships. I'm either obsessed or fatally critical. My poor fandoms!
I discovered several years ago that I have little interest in anime, and not much more in most mainstream manga. I was always able to cling to CLAMP, though -- did you notice that this is suddenly alliterative? How weird is that? Anyway, I'm picky and snobby. I hate any female characters who aren't statuesque lesbians, I find nearly all sci fi/fantasy conceits intolerable, and I regard slice-of-life shows with contempt. I also feel that most anime is written by chimps. Not the smart ones on the space shuttles, either.
I might as well go back to due South :[
Don't worry about changing the username; I'll just look for the new one when I come back. Although I do kind of like candlejack. That was one of the best shows ever.
I had a great Christmas! I hope you had a great Christmas, too! And Happy All Holidays (a greeting I stole from iamsocool12345)!!

The Tenth Doctor is Barty Crouch, Jr. actually. If I had been a Doctor Who fan before I saw the movie I might have enjoyed it more.
I have a high tolerance for manga because I don't expect much from it, I suppose. I grew up on comics and saw manga as the more intentionally gay Japanese counterpart. Also I like laughing at it. I am a Gundam fan. I have to laugh at it or I will go insane.
Freakazoid! was pretty fantastic, but "candlejack's" also become a meme online and it started feeling like people were only adding me because of my username, so :( But LJ takes forever to purge accounts, so I'll still have time to change it back if I change my mind.
I had a great Christmas too, despite the relatives and getting mostly junk. Happy All Holidays too you too (that's a great greeting, I'll have to use that in the future).

Yeah, it's like 30GB. I only have the last two seasons on DVD, so I had to get the first two in some digital format or other. Thx 2 Demonoid, who died for my sins.
Yeah x2, manga is good for maintaining low expectations, a necessity in this world in which we live; it's just, sometimes it feels like the same manga, over and over, doing the systematic depressing.
I've never heard of candlejack memes! I try to see a meme-shaped hole in the fabric of the universe whenever possible, though, so maybe that's the reason. Anyway, I shall be on guard for new usernames at all times.
Sorry about the Christmas junk. I have the same junk-accumulation ethics as a hermit crab, so I tend to love any kind of stuff, but Christmas, awwwww. My Christmas junk was fairly hawt, and trended strongly toward Ray Bradbury.
Well, here's hoping for next year, right?
Also I like that icon.
