Happy Canada Day

[pennswoods]

Today is a red letter day! Not only is it Canada Day,  which is awesome because Canada. But it's also summer vacation for most people here (Swedes take their holidays very seriously) which meant I was completely alone in the office and no one bothered me with silly questions or unimportant things to do. This meant I managed to get one very important task done (yeah!) before coming home to be greeted with this sight and the strains of Oh Canada! playing on the laptop. The guy I married very sweetly decided to decorate while I was out and we enjoyed Canadian bacon, pancakes and maple syrup for dinner.

And I know that's a Quebec flag on the table and not a Canadian one, but since I was born in Montreal, this is still relevant. To everyone who observes it, happy Canada Day! And to everyone else, happy Canada Day anyway!

And in other good news, Episode 7 of the Three Patch Podcast, dedicated to John H. Watson just dropped today. This was such a labor of love!  But this is why today is a good day - I get to celebrate two of my favorite things: Canada and John Watson.

I am a bad Canadian who still needs to watch this show!

OH GOD THIS SHOW. I can go on for days about the mechanics and the meta and oh oh oh everything about this show. May I just say: homoerotic subtext with ZERO QUEERBAITING? Yeah. In addition to everything else? Just...amazing.

You gotta like episodic police procedurals, though. The show is so episodic that the continuity even inside a single season is sketchy. =D But it borders on magical realism at times, so it's easily overlooked, IMO.

I could talk about this show forever. I'll spare you.

I just don't want to fall so in love with it that it distracts me from Sherlock. Sherlock is my life right now and I want to save something for when I find my fannishness waning.

Well, the due South fandom that remains isn't going anywhere, so you've got plenty of time. Also, there's not a lot going on in the fandom, so it's easy to dabble in while you still keep most of your attention on your more active fandom.

I am pleased that there will be something there for me when I finally get around to it.
