It will probably be September/October before the new Top Gear airs on BBC Canada. I'll watch it. I still watch the re-runs with the other guys on occasion.

My first car was a 1986 Toyota Tercel hatchback with an after market Speedy Auto Glass sunroof. It wasn't conducive for shagging but that never stopped me. I sold her 1991 and used the money for a down payment on my first apartment.

I don't watch horror so I had to use my talent for deductive reasoning...alas I only got 2/10 correct.

Liam didn't comment about a plural relationship. Meryl is married to Don Gummer and I couldn't find any news of a pending divorce. I have to nix this one. Nice guess otherwise.

I'm going with Diane Lane; second choice long-shot Kristen Stewart.

Quite enjoying Lucifer.

Dunno, I used to drive a Volvo Amazon named Bob. I used to drive a Dodge D50 named Bart.

Collecting stool samples.

Unverifiable gossip from six(ish) years ago...some one who worked on the Twilight set in Vancouver once commented that the lead actor had extremely offensive body odour. It didn't stop the fan-girls.

I just watched the 2011 documentary I am Bruce Lee. Really well done. It left me pondering a great many things in what is proving to be a year of change for me.

Despite reading as much as as I do; I fail at this list...

Well its a bit quiet and a tad cold in Canadia land this time of year, right? The cold is mostly reserved for the east. The west hoards all the rain. I did manage to finish that book and start the sequel.

I'm grateful it is back. Though "Is it Down Right Now?" is still showing the site as down. Sad to confess that if this site and fanfiction.net went down at the same time I might lose my mind.

I grew up without cable so I was well acquainted with Barney Miller. Abe Vigoda was arguably more famous for looking way older than he actually was than his acting. I hope he lived a full life and enjoyed every minute of it. He seemed like a real character. I was looking for a good Fish quote about Bernice. Instead I'm going to go with this one: "Look, you can't stop the years from passing by. There comes a time when changes have to be made. Someone younger and stronger comes along to fill your shoes and a person has to gracefully step aside. Well, I'm not willing to do that. The way I figure, I'm worth more on restricted duty than all of you put together on full time. Good night, gentlemen." I didn't look it up but I think Abe outlived most of them. RIP Fish!

X-Files was initially filmed in Vancouver. Gillian and I had our daughters two days apart (1994) in the same hospital. I met her in the snack kitchen one night and I was completely start-struck. She is lovely. I have it on PVR so that I can watch it with the boys tonight.

Condolences Phantom. Sending you coping vibes.

Adding Eagles - Hotel California. Dear media the Eagles and Mr. Frey himself do in fact have a multitude of other songs you could chose to play to death than that piece of crap. Hated it as a child. Hate it more now. RIP Glenn Frey.

Suffering through Fifty Shades of Grey. I promised my friend's wife that I would give it a chance. I had very low expectations. It isn't terrible, but E.L. James could have done with a stronger editor and deeper research beyond Twilight fan fiction. I thought I had read the original fan fiction but I was mistaken. Oh well, nearly finished this one with two more to go.

I don't have the toaster, but I have a Russel Hobbs kettle. I've had it for 25 years. I still remember the look on the wasband's face when I picked the kettle over the food processor.

Yup, October 15, 1984 I'd just turned 18 (I have the ticket stub and Vancouver Sun article).
