Carry on, guys :)

[*Lauren*]

hey i just wanna say hi and that Gilmore Girls is the best

[Kaylan]

^ HI welcome to the thread and to Fanbolt! You'll love it here, there are plenty of other Toronto peple here, and Ontario people in general.

Nita, you're going to do the p&p tour? wow, that'll be really nice! :) definately go to Paris as well, oh and Italy too lol. You won't regret it. Go even if you can't find someone to go with you.

[java_junkie]

hi lauren! welcome to FB and the canadian GG thread!!!! :)

yeah...we've both watched P&P (the movie) WAY too many times and so we're dying to go see all the locations it was shot :lol: yes...we're THAT nerdy.

sigh...i definitely would love to go to Paris and Italy. i was talking to my aunt and she was going on and on about the pastries and what not. yummy!!!! and i highly doubt my parents would let me go alone, lol. no way! i dunno if i'd want to go all by myself either, lol.

[Webeh]

^ Travelling is definitely better if you go with somebody.

If you're backpacking, I'd suggest stitching a Canadian flag to your bag. I heard it gets you free food in some places. Also, it helps you meet other Canadian backpackers, whom you can travel with. (Apparently it's common for backpackers to attach themselves to other backpackers from the same country and explore together.)

[tutor_girl]

What's the P&P tour? :lol:

Paris and Italy sound awesome. They're such beautiful cities. I'd love to see Rome and Paris :). But personally, backpacking is way more fun when you have someone else to go with. Obviously. But you know, if you don't want someone bringing you down, for sure, go alone I guess.

Welcome Lauren!

[java_junkie]

yup, DEFINITELY gonna be stitching a canadian flag on my bag :lol: i think all canadian travellers naturally do that nowadays, lol. gotta love some of the stories you hear out there though from travellers who are mistaken as americans. my friend's friend went to paris once and they were asking for directions but the people they asked pretended they didn't know english, so eventually they gave up. turned around and there's a flag stitched on their bags and the french are like "oh, you canadian! we thought you were americans. it's right over there!" lol.

there's this other story that i heard from my brother where his friends went to the czech republic and the hockey world championships was also going on. they went to one of the squares one day to watch the game, and low and behold it was czechs versus canadians. so there's thousands of czechs surrounding 4 canadian dudes, while the canadian team totally kicked the czechs butts, lol. some huge czech came up to them and said "F--- you Canada" and 3 of the 4 just ignored him and started backing off, but the one guy just retorted back "F--- you Czechs". naturally his friends were all thinking 'oh crap...." but luckily the czech found him funny and all was good. somehow they sort of ended up being celebrities of their own that week. ended up in the local paper and all :lol:

i'm actually not too sure what the P&P tour totally consists of. i'm hearing that they take us to all the locations the p&p movie was shot, but i'm not too sure. my friend swears the tour exists but i've never heard of it before she mentioned it. i guess we'll just have to see when we get there. if not, we're still planning our own p&p tour, hehehe.

[Webeh]

Maybe whenever you ask for directions you should open with "I'm from Canada and I'm a little lost. Could you help me out?"

[Kaylan]

Travelling with someone is definately fun. But I've heard from a few friends of mine who've travelled alone claiming that it's so much better. You can do whatever you want whenever you want. And it's easier to meet fellow travellers when you're on your own. (i guess that is, if you want to meet fellow travellers). It's always fun meeting other people, much more fun meeting other canadians. I met a girl from Toronto while i was touring up to Bath/stonehenge by myself. we explored everything together.

hehe, the hockey in czech story is funny.

Yah my old teacher in grade 6 had a similar story. She was in Europe with her friends and everywhere she went people were ignoring then and being rude so they went to this store, managed to find some small Canadian flag pins and put them on their shirts. She said everyone automatically turned friendly.

I was in America all week this past week (Darien Lake) and I noticed that they really like to stereotype Canadians. Some guy was like "Are you from Canada?!" I said yah and he was like "Perfect! Do you say Eh?". Or they ask you about your pet beaver or your igloo. I mean, it's funny but gets really annoying after awhile...

Welcome to FB and the Canadian GG board Lauren! :wave:

[tutor_girl]

Ugh, yeah. I hate it when people stereotype Canadians. Well actually, I do say "Eh" :lol: but I have no idea where that idea of us saying it came from. Same thing when people stereotype Asians. I mean, it's okay when we make fun of ourselves, but it becomes annoying when other people start doing it.

Nita, when are you going backpacking again? And when are those touring things happening at UWO again? :lol:

[Kaylan]

A similar story but in our own country. A lady I work with in Toronto, who is french from Montreal originally. Years ago she went back to visit Montreal, she stood in a restaurant/cafe waiting for a table. She was waiting a long long time, until she spoke to one of the staff in French. Instantly the person was, "oh you're french!" and she got a table right away.

lol, excuse me, pet beaver?

[java_junkie]

^^same thing happened to my family. the service we get when we speak english is usually a LOT slower. but if we say something in French to them, it instantly changes. and it surprises them too because they wouldn't normally expect a lot of asians to know french that well. ah...i guess one good thing did come out of being in french immersion :lol:

but i know what you mean. i always make fun of myself and my family because of some of the weird quirky asian things we do. and then i'll be like "yeah...only asians would totally do that". but atleast we totally understand the context and everything. when others stereotype though...it's like "no...that's NOT how it it thank you!" lol...

Nicole - well, i wouldn't really call it backpacking i don't think. just travelling, hehe. but next summer, hopefully!!! :D and fall preview days at UWO is Nov. 18 (Sat!).

[Webeh]

I'd like a pet beaver. I could train it to attack people like in that beer commercial.

Totally random question, but did any of you used to watch Due South? I've recently started watching the DVDs and this show just cracks me up! So many Canadian in-jokes and the mountie is so stereotypical it's funny. Also, this show caused me to develop a crush on an actor named Callum Keith Rennie. He does a lot of Canadian projects and a whole bunch of bit parts in American films/tv shows.

[java_junkie]

i remember due south! although i never sat down to watch a full episode. i was too young back then to watch the show and truly understand what was going on. but i'm a huge paul gross fan! :D

[tutor_girl]

I used to watch Due South! but I completely forgot about what it was about cause I was really young when I started watching it. All I remember is the RCMP guy in it. :lol:

Yay! Thanks Nita ;). I shall go check UWO soon. :lol: that's the day after my birthday! haha. I just have no idea where I'm going after high school. I hope they have a nice residence. Actually, I just checked out McMaster last weekend.

[java_junkie]

Yay! Thanks Nita ;). I shall go check UWO soon. :lol: that's the day after my birthday! haha. I just have no idea where I'm going after high school. I hope they have a nice residence. Actually, I just checked out McMaster last weekend.

Perth Hall is pretty sweet. that was my rez. don't pick saugeen...unless you like being in the biggest rez with a notorious rep :lol:

[Kaylan]

lol there's always the rez that's labelled the wild/party rez.

[Webeh]

Due South is about an uber polite/nice mountie that goes to Chicago to avenge the death of his father. Basically, Paul Gross plays the stereotypical Canadian and he walks around in a Mountie suit. This show is pure cheese, but in a good way.

I wish I lived on rez. By commuting, I think I'm missing so much from the campus lifestyle. Hopefully I can get into grad school later and live on campus then...

[java_junkie]

but it's paul gross!!! :lol:

oooooooo...the grad rez at UT looks really nice!

[Webeh]

I love Paul Gross too. He does a lot of good stuff and he's one of the few actors that stayed in Canada.

[Kaylan]

Anyone planning to watch Bon Cop, Bad Cop? Anyone seen it, reviews/thought? I will try to go see it, hopefully soon.

[ophelia]

Anyone planning to watch Bon Cop, Bad Cop? Anyone seen it, reviews/thought? I will try to go see it, hopefully soon.

I haven't seen it. I saw the preview awhile back. I'm not going to see it cuz it's not my type of comedy and I thought the jokes in the preview were very cliché. (Even though I really like Colm Feore). But 2 of my friends saw it and said that they had a good time.

[java_junkie]

i wanna see bon cop, bad cop! hehe...even though it'll probably be terrible, but i just want to see it for the canadian stereotypes that'll be in it. i was talking to my brother about it yesterday and he told me that apparently rick mercer has a part in it...playing a parody of don cherry :lol:

is it sad that it took me a couple of views of the trailers before i actually got the title? lol....i was like "what the hell is a 'bon cop'? but then when i actually paid attention to the trailer and figured out he was from quebec, things started clicking. yeah yeah...i'm so slow! lol

[Webeh]

I heard that the movie has a stupid storyline, but it's worth watching just for the interaction between the two leads. It's apparently a hilarious film with all the Canadian stereotype jokes.

[Kaylan]

yep the plot seems pretty ridiculous, but i guess it's all for the laughs. i've just got to find someone to accompany me to the theatre.

[Webeh]

I kind of want to see that movie too. But my friend already saw it with other people. So, darn...

I just saw Little Miss Sunshine a few days ago. Very funny film.

[java_junkie]

atleast i'll get to see colm feore in action when i go to stratford in a couple of weeks. woot!!!!!

oooh...i wanna see "little miss sunshine" the trailer for it looks great. plus i love indie movies! such great content in indie movies!

you volunteering again for the toronto film fest webeh?

[Kaylan]

I want to see Black Gold, the documentary about the coffee industry, but it's in such small release. Only one theatre playing it in BC lol. it'll be a renter i suppose.

[Webeh]

you volunteering again for the toronto film fest webeh?

Even better, I interned. I just finished my contract last week. Should be getting some free ticket vouchers later for the festival. I'm hoping I get a good amount because with summer classes, the internship, and my jobs, I missed all the volunteer recruitment sessions. My plan this year is to bounce from theater to theater, watching movies. Hopefully, this will work out for me.

This fall, I'm going to try to get another internship position, while I finish my last year of school. Then hopefully in the summer I can get a full time job, or at least a contract of some sort. (I plan to work for a year before trying to get into grad school.)


I feel like ranting. I have a part-time job where you have to make all monetary transactions without the aid of a computerized cash registers. (I work at a very busy kiosk that's, that does daily inventory of the stock. It involves gambling. Okay fine, I sell lottary tickets, which I hate with a passion.) Doing the math in my head isn't the problem, but rather customers thinking you've got the change wrong when you clearly didn't irritates me. You have absolutely no way of proving that you've got it right (and they're wrong) because you don't type the original cash amount into anything. So, you have to pretend the customer is right to get them out of your face and then your short.

So this is what happened today. This guy spends $5. He pays with a five dollar bill. He leaves for a bit and comes back claiming that he paid with a $20 bill. He gets pissed like customers usually do when they think you screwed up. So of course, to make him go away I have to pretend he's right. (Also, it didn't help that I can't remember the transaction clearly anymore because it's already out of my short-term memory.) Now, I'm $15 dollars short. (It's not really a huge deal because the company knows that people try to rip us off all the time, but this short still bugs me. Also, I probably will have sign something saying that I did make a mistake, when I didn't.) Gah...

[Kaylan]

Yes I understand, it's hard to swallow when you have to say you made a mistake when you didn't. The policy of "customer is always right" just doesn't make sense sometimes.

[java_junkie]

that totally sucks webeh. i hate it when people like that try to scam others for money. and then the innocent bystanders have to stay behind and clean up the mess. argh.

[Webeh]

*sigh... I'll explain to my manager what happened and I'm sure she'll understand. This has happened before (not often though) and my boss has been pretty nice about it in the past. But, I always have to sign a discipline form showing my money discrepancy because it shows the company that she's doing her job and not just letting things slide.

[Kaylan]

Meh, that sucks, especially since the discipline form will be on your file.

I went to see Bon Cop Bad Cop yesterday. I enjoyed it :D laughed a lot. Nita, you should try to see it. you'll love the character 'portraying' Bettman. Laughed my ass off.

[java_junkie]

awww...that totally sucks.

my friend got fired from her workplace a few weeks ago for "wrongful fraud". it wasn't even her fault, they didn't tell their employees all the details with that particular transaction, so she was made the example of. poor girl. now her parents are hiring lawyers!

hehe, so bon cop, bad cop is funny? hmmm...maybe i'll go see it if i can find someone to drag to the theatres with :lol:

[Webeh]

I'm glad she's hiring a lawyer. She definitely deserves some compensation for being screwed over the way she was.

Right now, I'm definitely looking forward to the day that I can quit my current job or at least cut back hours. I have to do so much work and I get paid pretty much minimum wage. In the whole scheme of things, I'm getting a bad deal. But, I'm only keeping this job because the hours are flexible, which makes for the lack of pay during the school year.

[java_junkie]

i'm so stressed! and classes haven't even started yet. sigh....this is probably the ONE thing i do not miss when summer vacation comes along, lol

i can't wait to see what my schedule is like though come december. i'm really hoping i won't have december exams, cuz now i'm seriously thinking of heading to HK for the december break. woot!!!

having all these froshies crawling around campus makes me feel so old now. :lol:

[*Lauren*]

Anyone planning to watch Bon Cop, Bad Cop? Anyone seen it, reviews/thought? I will try to go see it, hopefully soon.

i heard that i was really good. i also want to see i saw the previews and it looked good. but you can never really tell by the previews.

[Webeh]

Ugh! I feel miserable. I woke up at 5:30AM this morning to line up for TIFF tickets, got there to discover a gigantic line (it goes out the building, turns the corner, and turns the corner again), lined up for an hour, gambled on a different box office (after negotiating with the woman in the first line-up in front of me. She'll save my spot if the other is longer and I'll save her one if it's shorter), bought tickets, came home, fell asleep until 4:00PM feeling out of it, and I fear that I might be coming down with another cold (I just got over one a few weeks ago) during the film festival. I really hope this is just because of the season change and not a full blown cold. It takes me forever to get over colds. Last one took 3 weeks to finish and caused me to get others sick at the office during the high stress period leading up to the festival. (I felt guilty.)

[*Lauren*]

what are you lining up for? tickets to what?

[java_junkie]

what movies did you want to see? didn't you intern with them? couldn't you get like...some kind of special deal or something? atleast one free ticket? lol...probably not, but i was just wondering.

man, i realized today that i'm the biggest english nerd ever. lol....

[Webeh]

I did get some free passes, 5 to be exact. (I only interned this year, previous years was all volunteering.) After all the volunteer shifts I picked up, I'll have 10. I just had to line up to trade them in for tickets to movies I wanted to see.

What I was hoping to get was a staff pass, but only staff that work during the festival qualified for those. (Because they don't have as much opportunity to watch movies.) My contract ended before the festival began. So, now I have to rely on free vouchers from the internship and volunteer shifts.

Yesterday I watched Fido (it has Carrie Anne Moss and Billy Connolly), which opened the Canadian section of the festival. This movie was hilarious. People found out how to control zombies with technology (an electronic collar), so they turned them all into house help, janitors, etc. Unfortunately, the collar has some faults and breaks every once in a while. When this happens, the zombie goes wild again and tries to eat people.

The main character is a little boy named Timmy and he has a zombie he named Fido. (Later, Timmy's mom falls in love with Fido. ;) ) Basically, this is Lassie but with a zombie instead of a dog. (These were lines in the movie: "Fido, fetch help!" "Good boy, Fido!") Timmy loses control of his zombie a few times and he eats people. So, not wanting his zombie sent away to the zombie pound, Timmy covers up all the deaths by burying/burning the bodies and washing all the blood off his zombie.

From the premise, this sounds like a really bad movie, but it's not. It's great! You should all definitely see it when it comes out. I haven't laughed this much in such a long time.

Other films I have tickets to is the Bothersome Man and Pan's Labyrinth. One's a black comedy revolving around suicide and the other is a horror fantasy. I used six passes on this so I could take friends with me. After this, I only have three more passes left. These, I'm not sharing. ;) I'm trying to maximize the number of movies I watch. What I will watch depends on what's available later.

Ooh! Yesterday I met Zach Braff's uncle. He was in the box office lineup behind me. First we talked about the festival and my internship. Then he dropped the leading statement, "My nephew's starring in a movie here." I asked, "What film?" He said, "The Last Kiss." After that, he started gushing about how proud he was of his nephew and about how Zach totally lucked out in getting Scrubs. It was funny. ;)

[Kaylan]

Zach Braff's uncle gushing over his nephew, that's so cute.

I will actually want to see Fido, you make it sound hilarious. I do like zombie comedies. Shaun of the dead to be more exact.

I just read an interview with Heath Ledger about his film Candy. That one sounds good.

[Webeh]

If you want to see a clip of Fido, click the link: http://video.sympatico.msn.com/v/en-ca/v.htm?f=37%2f81&i=7d69007a-c80d-48b2-80eb-c22c853b59e2

[*Lauren*]

i really want to see the last kiss movie the other day ( yesterday i think) the cast was on much on demand and they showed clips from the movie and now i really want to see it!

[Webeh]

^ I know the gala for that was on today, but the film will be out this Friday. So, I'd just wait for that.

[*Lauren*]

me too but i really want to see it!

[Webeh]

^ I know all the tickets were sold out for both festival showings of this film. So, you'll just have to wait until Friday.

I saw Stranger Than Fiction today. I don't know what to think of it. Some parts felt really gimmicky (Ex. The milking of tear jerky bits, which I hate) and some parts seemed really smart (Ex. Dustin Hoffman in general).

[Kaylan]

lol my bro poor west coaster who's transplanted to toronto. he told me, he never knew the film festival was such a big deal. (yeah i never really thought it was such a huge event...guess i was wrong. is it really the 2nd largest film fest after cannes? who knew! lol) so funny, he's complaining about all the celebrities being around..."i hate celebrities"

[java_junkie]

hahaha...i love that! i love how he's hating all the celebrities!!!! :lol: that's just too funny! whereas the majority of the population would probably love to even just get a glimpse of someone famous!

[Kaylan]

yep, guess all the crowds get annoying lol. no wonder all the entertainment tv shows go nuts over the tiff. i always thought, it's just a bunch of people watching movies, what's the big deal. maybe because the vancouver film fest is such a low-key small thing. no 'stars' come over here.

[java_junkie]

hmmm...well, everything seems to revolve around the GTA in canada, right? lol....

[Webeh]

TIFF is actually a major deal. Major industry-related business happens at this time. Screenwriters get the chances to pitch their ideas, films are bought by film companies to release (this is especially good for smaller directors), there's a lot of movie related workshops held for smaller filmmakers, etc, etc...

Also, TIFF sets the stage for the Oscar race later in the year, which is also a major business thing. (Some of the bigger films here tend to major Oscar contenders later.)

And... TIFF contributes quite a bit to the local economy. ;)

Oy, I sound like a sales person!

[java_junkie]

lol....no, you just know the works because you've volunteered for them. look at the rest of us...so ignorant about it! lol....

[Kaylan]

yep i'm pretty ignorant. any news from gta i take with a grain of salt :)

so when is the new GG season starting? i've been getting wb/or cw or cn or whatever it's called now. been seeing commercials! looks good.

[*Lauren*]

when does it start? i thought that it would have started already.

[java_junkie]

yeah...i'd like to know when it starts up on global? can't miss it, considering this is going to be the last season!!!!

[ophelia]

GG starts on the 26th on the CW. No idea about Global. And the CW network starts on Monday.

[Webeh]

yep i'm pretty ignorant. any news from gta i take with a grain of salt :)

I'm very protective of the festival. I look forward to these ten days every single year. This is my Superbowl. ;)

Anyways, I saw eight films this festival. Six I really enjoyed, one was okay (it was a film for really young kids), and another was just plain horrible (Seraphim Falls).

I'm starting to get really excited about the upcoming season of GG and Veronica Mars. I adore the new photoshoots.

[Baby_Em05]

GG starts on the 26th on the CW. No idea about Global. And the CW network starts on Monday.

Hey guys! I haven't been here in quite ahwile. It was a pretty busy summer and school is already picking up in full swing.

To answer your question ophelia, I just checked canada.com under TV listings and they are keeping the Tuesday at 10 thing for Global.

[java_junkie]

excellent! thanks for the news guys!!! :D

i hate my computer. arghhh!!!!

[*Lauren*]

thanks for the info on when GG starts on global. Yay! i can't wait for GG to start up again!

[tutor_girl]

Yeah! I heard there were a lot of great people at the film festival, someone I know posted some celebrity stalker pictures on facebook. There's Emma Thompson, Ashton Kutcher (really bad ones cause he was all discreet), Rachel Bilson, Zach Braff, Dustin Hoffman, and a bunch of others, but I can't really remember.

Yeah, do we have an idea when GG starts on Global? sorry, I'm kind of too lazy to read back a page :lol:. I HOPE I can get the CW this year, I'm trying to get my mom to buy it :lol:.

[java_junkie]

hmmm...my guess that it'll premiere the same week that it does on CW. but then again, it's global...and sometimes global's schedule is quite unpredictable.

[Webeh]

Tuesday at 10? That's perfect. Yay!

[Baby_Em05]

It premieres the same day as the one on CW Nicole. Only 2 hours later :lol:

[java_junkie]

woot! it's not conflicting with any of my other shows. yeah!

man...first my computer crashed on me yesterday, and today i'm coming down with a cold. what a horrible weekend. :( my only saving grace is this coming wednesday when i go to stratford.

[Kaylan]

aww i hope you recover your files nita! and recover from the cold quickly. the few friends of mine who went back to school are all sick with colds as well. what is with school and the rapid spread of germs?

the viff will be starting in a few weeks. think i will try to get tickets to see Fido webeh. and heath ledger's film candy. yay.

[tutor_girl]

That's SO weird! i have a cold/cough kind of sickness too! I had to stay at home ALL weekend, cause I knew I couldn't stand being outside for one second. I need sleeeeeep.


:lol: Thanks for the info Em! :lol: Now I feel real silly! haha. Well, I need the CW for OTH too, since they don't air it in Canada on any channel at the same time, they repeat it in the summer, which I obviously can't wait until...so yep. There's my dilemma.

[java_junkie]

i blame it on the froshies man. they spend a week partying so their immune systems get WAY too vulnerable. and then they spread it to the rest of us like plagues. grrrrr... :lol: but thanks, i hope get better soon. i hate being sick.

[Webeh]

the viff will be starting in a few weeks. think i will try to get tickets to see Fido webeh. and heath ledger's film candy. yay.

VIFF. That's Vancouver I believe, right? I think I heard a bit about that festival in the news. It comes right after TIFF.

Go see Fido. I think you'll really like it. I sure laughed a heck of a lot.

As for Candy, I think I heard good things about this one. Can't remember exactly because I wasn't really following the press about this one.

I just finished my second cold of the summer. Caught it right before TIFF and was miserable for a decent chunk of the festival. But, my adrenaline (and immune system ;) ) battled it off and I was still okay to watch eight films. Yay!

Yesterday I went to the TIFF volunteer/staff afterparty. That was fun even though the outdoor power went out a couple times. The food and booze sucked this year (we had mixers last year!), but that was okay. I got over it.

When I was leaving the party the police showed up. I think they were about to shut it down for noise pollution.

[java_junkie]

season premiere tomorrow...woot!!! who's excited?!? :D

[Webeh]

Me!

I'm really glad GG is at 10PM because that means I'll be home at that time. Also, it doesn't conflict with House, Veronica Mars, or NCIS. (Easier on the VCR.) Yup, my entire TV schedule is almost entirely on Tuesday.

[tutor_girl]

I'm glad it's on at 10 too. Cause I have to go volunteer at that "Nuit Blanche" thing and I have some kind of walk-through orientation tommorow. Well, if you haven't heard of it, it's this contemporary art event that goes from 7pm to sunrise (7am) the next morning and it's so awesome :). I really can't wait ;).

Woot! I can't wait to see what happens with my RL :dancing:

[Webeh]

I heard about that. It's that Scotia Bank thing. (Or is it being run by a different bank?) Wanted to go, but I'd be in the middle of stressing over exams. That means I wouldn't really enjoy it and just end up coming home tired.

Tell me all about it when you come home from that.

[tutor_girl]

Nuit blanche was awesome :). I volunteered there and they had a million different exhibits, although I only got to venture through the Bloor/Yorkville area because that's where I was stationed, although the Docents gave us a 4 hour break and another 3 hour break during the shifts :lol: The exhibits included a wishing tree, this fog thing which was at Philosopher's walk I believe, it was REALLY gorgeous, although there was a lot of mud cause it was raining. Lots of live music and a bunch of hands on art. Other things included a ballroom dancing place where there was a DJ and balls were being thrown everywhere around the huge gym hence the name "ballroom dancing" and you could throw a ball at ANYONE in the face and they couldn't blame you cause that's what you do in there :lol:. There was also a swimming pool exhibit too, although I never really got to visit that one. And a bunch of other things I can't remember, but it was really, really interesting and it was not boring at all. I collapsed the next day though, considering I had to work at the event for 12 hours, 7pm to 7am.

I missed the Asia episode. Any highlights?

[Webeh]

Awesomeness. I really wished I could have gone. But, I swear I'll make time for it next year. You know, considering that I'll be done school. Yay!

As for GG, it was okay. We haven't really got a great episode yet. Everything involving TJ made me grin because he's such a great brother-in-law to Luke. And, I was sensing doom and gloom for Lane's marriage. This other storyline involving her made me wince.

[*Lauren*]

the episode was okay. i felt bad for lane now that she's pregnant and stuff. the asia part was funny. and the sandra oh poster was weird and really funny.

[go_clo]

Hey guys, I'm new to the site. I'm a canadian fan yay!!!!

I'm liking the season so far, I miss Luke and Lorelai though :( Oh well, this break up will make it all that much more appreciated when they finally get back together and married :D Just keep the faith guys.

[*Lauren*]

Hey welcome! this season so far has been pretty awesome!

[java_junkie]

hey go clo! welcome to FB and to the canadian gg thread! :)

i'm loving all the rory/logan moments this season! they're so adorable together! and i love how christopher is back!

[*Lauren*]

i love that christopher is back! and that he and lor are together! last week's episode with them at the end in the car was so sweet!

[Kaylan]

the car scene was the best. They're a family!

[ophelia]

so... *trying to revive the thread*

have you started shopping for Chritmas? :lol:

[*Lauren*]

wow this thread is so slow!! no i haven't started to shop for christmas yet :lol: i kind of a last minute shopper but i don't really have to buy a lot for anyone.

[ophelia]

I'm not a last minute shopper but I have so few gifts to buy anyway. For my mom and a couple of friends.

what about last night episode? meh. I so don't care about Luke anymore. What he is doing in that show anymore? At least, we got to see Lane.

[*Lauren*]

Lane was funny last night! and how she fell asleep! i loved the lor and chris went to parents weekend at Yale. and how chris ordered so much food at the fancy restaurant! it was all very funny!

[WaterRat]

Gilmore Girls wasnt on on Global for me last week...was it on for everyone else?

[Kaylan]

I think Global has switched it to 8pm, not on at 10 anymore....

[WaterRat]

Ooooh, that would be why I missed. Thanks.

[java_junkie]

what? WHAT? GG has been switched to 8pm??? so what have i been taping these last 2 weeks?!? lol...i HATE school man...it's taking over my life that i have no time for anything else! i seriously have not turned on a television in a month. how sad....

[WaterRat]

it was on @ 10 on Global Toronto yesterday...

[*Lauren*]

I just watch it on The cw network now!

[Kaylan]

it's still on at 8 on global for me. how confusing.

[*Lauren*]

It is all very confusing. So what does everyone think of them getting married! I was shocked and kind of confused. But still happy for them.

[tutor_girl]

I kinda like the idea of Lor/Christopher. Maybe I'm weird, but I like them together :). They're a complete family now.

And it was on at 10pm for me tuesday night too.

AH these stupid OUAC transmission/applying/everything it's driving me up the wall. :lol: It's all about the deadlines. Let's just hope I get in somewhere :lol:

[*Lauren*]

^^Your not weird i also like them together too. Their now a big happy family!

[xsamie]

They don't do much family stuff together though do they? No nice family outings? But it's nice to see them all together.

[*Lauren*]

^^They don't really do a whole lot as a family. But maybe in coming episodes we get to see more of that.

[java_junkie]

does anyone know if it was a rerun this past week or not???

[Baby_Em05]

There's one more episode before the hiatus, Bonita.

[*Lauren*]

Yeah a new episode. I thought for sure that i would be an old one. But i'm happy that it's new!

[java_junkie]

k, thanks emily! i just needed to know so i know when to tape it or not, lol. man...i still need to catch up on the last 2 eps....

[Kenora H. Saul]

GG is on both the CW and ch.14 (whatever it is) in vancouver at 8pm, then it's on Global at 10pm, I think. I usually just watch it at 5pm on the early CW.

[tutor_girl]

Wow, haven't been in here in like, a YEAR.

how has everyone been? Did you like the finale.

I'm still kinda....sad that RL broke up. *sigh*

[ophelia]

wow I thought this thread was on the storage board! :lol:

The finally, well at the end I was only watching cuz I have been watching for years and I wanted to see how it ended. But the fact that Rory-Logan broke up sent a depressing message to me. But the last scene was good, ending the series in the dinner was a great idea.

[ILoveBen143]

Wow, it has been atleast a year since i've been on here, how are all my fellow canadians?? It seems like no one has really been on this thread for a while....lol.

[ryan-marissa<3]

Suuuper how bout you??:)

[Webeh]

Good! How about you? :)

Yay! It's almost TIFF time again this year!! :)
