June-uary

It's June here in Van, but feels like January. Hence June-uary. Can't complain. I'm living in fabulous Vancouver, after all!


I am embarking on the second Ariana Adventure, but am still contemplating what plot elements to include. A friend suggested writing more about her relationship with Veronica, the not-good-at-being-bad demon, and I like that idea. And of course there's hunky Const. Daniel. And pain-in-the-ass cousin Emma. And Ted's cute son, Ted Jr. whose sister is, last time I checked, still a bat. We shall see. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Digital TV and Mad Men

We just installed digital/internet TV and I'm not a big fan of being zapped by yet more invisible wi-fi waves, but I do love being able to PVR programs, and the picture quality has improved, despite still having to watch it on a CRT TV. It'll take a while to memorize the new channel numbers, too.

Anyone a fan of Mad Men? I was quite upset, though not surprised, about what happened last night regarding Lane Pryce. And Jon Hamm is just as gorgeous as ever, sigh. Not a bad actor, either. :) He needs to do some comedy soon. Don Draper frowns a lot, and we don't want Jon to get frown lines, do we.

Lastly, while on the topic of MM, as a Canadian I feel compelled to comment on the whole Don Draper's French Canadian wife thing. 1) Her French Cdn. parents were rather inaccurately portrayed, from what I recall. Their accents were more France-French than Canadian-French, but I guess only a Canadian would know that, and even then only some of us. 2) As I read elsewhere from another indignant Canadian Mad Men fan, the name Megan isn't very French Cdn. either. How about Solange, or Marie, or Jacqueline? A bit sloppy and/or negligent in the research department on that one.
