A few little things that I've discovered in Vancouver:
1. I walk past a building (two in fact) that were used in SG-1. This makes me very happy every day.
2. Not everyone in Vancouver is obsessed with science fiction even though I think they should be. I mean come on guys there was so much cool stuff filmed here. For instance, my friend was not excited at all by the fact that we were going across the bridge used at the end of Tron (the new one). Not at all. I was grinning like a loon.
3. The woods really are great fun to run around in and pretend you're on some far off planet.
4. People don't think it's all that strange when you want to dress up for Halloween (sort of) as a baddy from a TV series. Ok, so they don't actually know that you're dressing up as a Gou'ald, they just think you're being Cleopatra.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to see Amanda Tapping at the premiere for Random Acts of Romance. I did make the effort to go to the theatre and I even took a book with me to get signed. But it seemed that the VIPs had entered the building from the back judging by the big blacked out bus parked back there. I have to admit that I was more than a little disappointed but it wasn't the end of the world. I didn't get the chance to go and see the film at all in the end due to my new job.
Yes I have managed to find something working in a Halloween shop until the beginning of November which is really good fun. Being British I had never really seen how crazy people get over here for this holiday. At home, we're doing well if we even dress up. So amongst the many MANY costumes, I decided that I would do a Gou'ald as it's lots of fun and kind of glamourous. I even managed to find something to use as a ribbon device on my hand. I can't wait to get it all sorted out. I think it's going to end up looking mostly like Hathor due to my hair colour at the moment.
I think that's it for the moment. I've regressed a bit into reading The Hunger Games again, but I'm enjoying it mostly. I still find Katniss horribly annoying as a protagonist but hey that's not going to change any time soon. I haven't had the chance to see Looper yet even though it looks just plain AWESOME. Can't wait for that one. May have to save up a bit though, the cinema here is even more expensive than home.
