***3) I got some more fic to rec, it's just gonna take a while to assemble and code properly. Plus I'm in the process of compiling all my previous Bones fic recs in one masterlist. That takes way longer than I thought; I'm sorting them by length, more or less. At the moment it's still looking chaotic.***4) Any manga/doujinshi artists whom I can email with a technical question?
***5) Vid Rec: The Friends intro, only with the characters from BtVS :O) [edit: vid removed thanks to the philistines at Fox]
***5a) Why won't Firefox open YouTube links? I always have to resort to IE for those vids to work.

Vancouver is awesome, the most beautiful big city I know. I thought about going there after San Diego Con, but last time I barely made it to Seattle in the limited time I had. I want to visit the place again sometime, though. Victoria, too. I love where I live, but B.C. is one of the few places I could be tempted to move. Well, maybe it gets a tad too wet in the winter, I only ever saw it during the summer.

I live in Vancouver! If you ever come this way, let me know...my sofa bed is always available for a friend.
I love my city.

Thanks for the offer; I hope I'll have the chance to get back to it. :) I've been to Vancouver several times already, but it never gets boring.
