Yay!

Hi y'all...delurking to say how happy I am that it seems I did not miss new Angel last week! I too have to watch it on Space, but I was away last week and hadn't got organized enough to set up the VCR. But I wasn't sure if I'd missed the new ep last week or not. Something to look forward to this week!

And to intruduce myself - I am not currently an Atlantic Canadian, but was born and raised in Northern New Brunswick. I now live in Yellowknife.

So all this talk of cold...yeah. I feel your pain. Because the thing about living in YK is that at least you know the cold is coming, and cars/houses/clothing are designed to handle it. My car, in addition to having a block heater, has something called a battery blanket. I'd never heard of it before moving up here.

Not sure how often I'll post, but I've been reading along for a while (this is a thread I can actually keep up in, unlike that insane Natter place), so thought I should say hi.

Hi Sophie! And, really, growing up in Northern New Brunswick you'd have seen your share of hideous weather.

I spent my high school years in Saskatchewan, so I understand cold.

Hi, I want to introduce myself as well. I've been reading this board and enjoying it, along with Firefly and Angel and LotR of course. I am born and bred Nova Scotian, and so glad that today the cold snap ended. Hope it stays this way for awhile.

Hi, Olivya. Where are you now?

Hi Elena. I live in Halifax and am recently married! Both of us, yes my hubby supports my addiction to Joss, love Buffy (though I started watching in season 6-- did download all the episodes though and devoured past 5 seasons), and we loved Firefly from the premiere. Was extremely disappointed when it was cancelled, and am trying to find a store that carries the Firefly DVD set. Am thinking probably FutureShop in Bayers Lake.

I've been reading Buffistas for about a year now; totally amazed at the insights people post. I finally got the courage to post *smiles*.

I ordered mine on-line, so I'm not sure which stores have it. Future Shop is a safe enough bet, though HMV may have it too.

Hey Sophie and Olivya! Another Haligonian! that's craxy.

I was at the Future Shop this afternoon, and I did not see it. (ETA: But I didn't look too hard.) They do have it for rent at Video Difference.

Hi Sophie and Olivya!

I had a friend who lived in Whitehorse, and she mentioned that everyone leaves their cars running when they do errands.

In Saskatchewan, too. It's routine to have a second set of keys with you so you can still lock up.
