Now if we could just lay claim to a girl named Meg the list would be complete.
Thanks! But what about MAD Magazine? And we’ll trade you John Irving for Garth Hudson.

Are you a shark or a jet?
And, uh, let’s not forget the football the rest of the world watches. That kicks the CFL and the NFL’s sorry asses.
Finally, speaking of movies and ‘in America’, have you seen ‘In America’? It’s a lovely film, with some exceptional performances from the entire cast. It also features my favourite actress in the world, Samantha Morton.
Thanks to Mr. Barefoot for the “In America” reference. Here I was, contemplating renting “1776,” and he gave me the perfect alternative. It’s a wonderful movie.
Darren, one of the first things I thought when I saw a picture of Julie is that she looked like Samantha Morton. ;-)
Thanks Meg! We Americans like you too.
And you can sleep on my couch anytime. And shop with me at the Sephora they are building IN MY TOWN!!
Hey, we have a whole guest bedroom! No need to sleep on a couch in DC.
I used to have a Long Island accent.
After four years of college in Western New York and ten years in the DC Metro area/Maryland, it has fortunately been watered that WAY down!
I would totally let you sleep on my couch, except, who the hell wants to visit Reno? Blechhhhhh
Things I like about Vacouver:
Soooooo pretty
Super clean streets
People actually say “abooot” instead of “about”
Legal drinking age 19! Which was great at the time
The great memories I created there
Now I just have to get back and visit that island thing so I can see where Anne of Green Gables was filmed :)
Hmm…interesting, Julie looks like Samantha Morton. My initial reaction was no, but I went and looked at some photos, and there is a resemblance.
I’m assuming, of course, that you’re not thinking of Samantha Mathis? I developed a huge teenage crush on her when I saw “Pump up the Volume” (http://intermaweb.net/img/pump1.jpg). I always had a penchant for the brunettes with bobbed haircuts.
This prompted a conversation between Julie and I about who she resembles. I tried one of those facial recognition sites, and it came back with Elisha Cuthbert.
No, I mean Sam Morton — I don’t see the Samantha Mathis thing at all. Or Elisha Cuthbert, for that matter!
I guess, in the end, she looks like Julie, and that’s a good thing.
Yeah, part of the Samantha Mathis is that when I met Julie she was a bob-haircut-wearing, Doc Martins-sporting sort, existing on a kind of Natalie Merchant-Samantha Mathis-Claire Danes axis.
But, indeed, she most of all looks like herself, which is a good thing.
You forgot Mother Jones out of San Fran! Just kidding, I know it is impossible to name them all, but the fact that you got Peet’s coffee in there is great. I love that stuff!!!
“Mostly just the people from Newfoundland that sound odd”? Can you get any more insulting or are you just a writer with an amazing inability to describe a unique culture and its people with any more respect then that. Oh well, I guess if others don’t sound like you or think like you they are “odd” how narrow minded can you get.
