I don't know which parts of it you enjoy specifically but if you like the Paul Gross/Canadiana of it all a very different bring but one that I can't recommend enough is Slings & Arrows

i do enjoy that aspect! i think slings and arrows will be a show that tom will like a lot so at some point i do plan on making him watch it with me.

that's awesome tho congrats for the achievement!!!

IT HAS THE FLOW ON IT i waaant it

Please never stop finding Nell Zink interviews.

her interviews are just all so amazing. i’m going to need to actually read her books at some point. i am laughing so much at her on jonathan franzen:

3:AM: It’s well known than Jonathan Franzen wanted to promote your book, but were there challenges in that?

NZ: There’s the challenge that I’d get lost in the shuffle, but then I was coming from having absolutely no reputation at all, good, bad, or otherwise.

It was certainly very helpful to have this connection with him because he’s sort of click bait. When people write about me they’ll find a way to mention him so they can tag their post with his name.

The net effect has been very positive. I mean it’s not like I’m a dyed-in-the-wool Franzen fan. People who are sceptical about his work might think, “Oh, she sounds so interesting, but if Franzen likes her she must secretly be really square.” I can understand that, I really can.

my answers

1. what’s your favorite book? Favourite book? You have to have a favourite? Yeah, I can’t. Too many to choose from. I love so many books.

2. what’s your favorite song right now and why? I’m gonna go with Loveless by Said the Whale. Awesome song.

3. what is/was something you actually like(d) about school besides being seeing your friends? Whelp, there’s always learning things that I’m interested in (Ravenclaw pride!), but of course, the sassy teachers. I had some really good ones.

4. if you could be famous for one thing, what would you want that thing to be? Writing. Holy crap I want my stories to become huge.

5. do you prefer children or animals? why? This is an odd question, and I’ll say animals. Not by a huge margin, but animals. And because they are less time consuming than babbehs.

6. where would you like to live one day? Maybe Vancouver, or in the UK. Not really sure. Preferably somewhere warmer than Ottawa.

7. what do you think is the most important school subject? Either arts or languages. I did a lot of music, I did some visual art, I did drama, I learned French and German. I think all of these are really important to shaping a person.

8. what is your least favorite animal (not including bugs, reptiles, or amphibians)? Surprisingly, I have a love/hate relationship with dogs. I know they’re really nice and awesome, but I’m terrified that they are going to rip out my throat.

9. what is your favorite time period to learn about? I started off loving Egyptian, then moved to Tudor England, went through some Medieval stuff… currently really interested in Ancient Asia.

10. what is your favorite drink? Hot drinks would have to be a London Fog. As for cold, imma say Mango Juice.

11. what is one thing you like about your personality and one thing you like about your appearance? Personality, I like that I can get along with pretty much anyone and am generally cheerful. As for appearance, um, I like my freckles?
