Well, I haven't been around much lately. Or haven't posted anyway. Getting the empty apartment fixed up and ready to rent has turned into an expensive and time consuming project.
( why it's taking so long, and explanation of why I decided to and can afford to take a long ass road trip to drive a kayak from Chicago to Issiquah, WA even though I do not kayak and know nothing about kayaking )
I'll either take I-90 or I-80 across MN, SD, WY, MT, ID, and WA or IA, NB, CO, UT, OR & WA respectively -- depends on the weather. I may drive up into Canada while I'm in Issiquah because it's right next to Seattle and so close to BC and I've never been there and ever since HCL's road scenes I have wanted to! I'm just a little worried about driving everywhere with a kayak on a rack on the roof of the car. But there's a lock for it like a bike lock, apparently. And my dog is coming with me! To keep me safe!
Anyway. Here are some links to stuff I found about fanboys/fangirls, Nathan Fillion, Spike Jonze, and the Coen Bros., which popped up on IMDB.com:

Even if Nathan Fillion weren't currently playing the eponymous mystery writer on the hit TV series "Castle," the genre fans out there would surely know the charming Canadian actor from his work with cult-beloved producer Joss Whedon.
