Yes, but also lots of poisonous animals that want to kill you. You should come to Finland where nature is gentle! Chilly, but gentle. And it's cheap to go to school here!

Hey, it's on...a continent.

There is too Japanese food! We just had it a few weeks ago. Cim's been telling you tales again, hasn't she?

And speaking of Cim, she's pulling through. I think you underestimate the fortitude of our friend. And mind that we may have two hour days in the winter, but we have 22 hour days in the summer to compensate. I think one can say the weather here is interesting with four distinct seasons. And lots of beautiful nature to put the weather in! Or so the brochure says.

They're bringing IKEA to us! Soon we'll have a lamp, too. Then our battle will be fiercly even!

Oh yeah, DSL with unlimited bandwidth! Ha!

Meanwhile, the thing about Supernatural was that I knew I was going to love it the moment I read the 'two brothers in a car! hunting monsters!' blurb. Starting out, I had no particular thing for neither lead--although I was familiar with Jensen and knew that I didn't hate him, despite his silly name--but I think I would have loved it even if the brothers had been cast right off 7th Heaven. Sure, plot-wise, X-files did it better, and dialogue-wise, Buffy did too, but no-one's done a proper two-lead us-against-the-world show in ages (really, since XF, who HAS?) and omg, I needed that.

see, this is why i thought i'd have to give it another shot. i mean, was i right in saying "faith" probably wasn't one of their better episodes? because i could really get behind a two-lead us-against-the-world show, plus the fandom seems to be chugging along nicely; i was just really primed for the brother thing and the family thing, and all i got was the faith-based episode and a monster of the week. probably also at work were the perils of moseying into the middle of the season without benefit of established (and ongoing) problems and relationships to underlie even unrelated action.

[wax_jism]

Jumping into the middle of this show is only going to give you disappointing writing (if you were somehow expecting actual good writing on a WB show, like some deluded fool! eternal optimist) and suspect plotlines and you can't see the character continuity they've managed to retain throughout all this nonsense

You know, I am divided on whether you should post more often or continue in this vein. Because your posts are genius, but this post is, I guess, SUPAA GENIUS. It reads like a cross-section of the space-time continuum of your brain. ♥!

(I'd be more coherent if I hadn't been up for many, many hours on a skosh of sleep. You understand, I'm sure.)

! dude, i was just thinking that the digest version of my life is the default version, but i like your way better. malelia_honu thinks i should have held out even LONGER, until i made it ALL THE WAY TO Z. maybe next time!

You understand, I'm sure.

oy. only too well. i'd ship you naptime if i could!

[silentfire]

while i'm sure that it's very flattering for you to have people arguing in your livejournal comments about why you should move to where they are, i'm not exactly sure why they're bothering. because you're coming up here to boston. no, shut up, you *are*, and that's the end of it.

letters i through k=story of my life (we're so on the same page!)

okay, mentioning sga and criminal minds in the same sentence just makes my brain go to the sga_fusion place and omg i want it now. great. thanks a *lot*.

dude, sawgrass is the eighth level of hell. i feel your pain, having been dragged there on numerous occasions myself.

[walkingshadow]

hey, did you see the northeast in the number-one spot?! i think you did. :-p

you are most welcome! wait, was that sarcastic? the B.A.U. in ATLANTIS! . . . yeah okay, my brain exploded too. *fzzt*

"if i could do just one near-perfect thing i'd be happy."

But would it count if you'd near-perfectly described my Life Dilemma while describing your own? I suppose not, and still. I so do like it when you make these big chewy posts.

Also with wax_jism on the Finland option - cheap education & they really don't mind even if you spend foreverity working on it... ahem. Also Battlestart Galactica synchronized to your current viewing schedule!

[walkingshadow]

i think it *would* count. which just goes to show that my apparent motto only tells half the story (my real motto is "if i could do just one near-perfect thing i'd be happy for about thirty seconds, after which i would need to go searching for the next great thing, cycle repeats").

cheap education & they really don't mind even if you spend foreverity working on it... ahem. Also Battlestart Galactica synchronized to your current viewing schedule!

ooh, bonus, bonus. generosity of deadline and battlestar galactica! there's another way i should be sorting out my options—not just projected expenses, but AVAILABILITY OF THE FANNISH SOURCE. *reassigns priorities*
