geeking out

[sheikah]

So, I'm still braindead but I can always count on my dearest windandthestars to geek out with me about the most random things. Our latest obsession is the Canadian Northwest Territories - a place neither of us has actually been, I don't think. Lisa's been to Vancouver and I've been to Ontario, neither of which are the North like that.

I blame this obsession completely and fully on my obsession with Canadian television, most recently Arctic Air. I went through this phase with Newfoundland back when I was on a Republic of Doyle kick, so, it's not entirely unprecedented.

Since I got my tax return today I splurged on a bunch of Kindle books about/set in the NWT - a mix of history and slice of life stuff, some fiction, etc.

BRB pretending to live in Yellowknife, now.

The sheer insanity of the sun's patterns up there is enough that I will never want to live there, but I've heard Yellowknife is gorgeous around June.

I know, I couldn't actually live there. My body shrivels up and dies if it's anything less than tropical heat but it sure does look pretty.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love random things!

*breathes*

Where in Ontario?

Does I've been there count if I've sent mail to YK?

\o/ Books! So far I've resisting getting all but the one but I've itchy fingers so we'll see. I'm always game for anything Canadian.

Toronto, haha. NOTHING EVER HAPPENS IN TORONTO /Scott Pilgrim

As far as Canada goes, though, the North & East are the most exciting, I find. Well, and good old Quebec. I'm such a traitorous Ontarian.

Yeah not really. Unless you're into awesome theatre. Then it's happening. Or red hat societies...but that's another story.
