I don't give a shit about Katy Perry or Justin Trudeau.
All I'm saying is that if you made a movie about a former prime minister and former pop star falling in love, set it at Christmas, and then put that shit on Netflix, Jess and I would crush two bottles of wine watching it and love it.

I'm saving watching it until after the holidays (so many Christmas movies, so little time) but I'm sooooo happy that Heated Rivalry is doing well. Loved the books so much.
There are lots of reasons why Heated Rivalry is already incredibly successful, but they include the fact that many of the characters have absolutely no chill, openly yearn for what (and who) they want, and everyone is off-the-charts hot, including the Asian Canadian guy with autistic traits.

Wait, I didn't think of this as an option! I would absolutely home swap my BC Place-adjacent apartment for an apartment in any of these countries.
I need to stop watching live sporting events. It never ends in happy feelings.

Please please please use proper names in Alt Text. No cutesy nicknames for evil monsters, no asterisks in place of vowels. Let the mute words do their thing.

Only rumours and hearsay right now, but apparently there were many non-unionized layoffs at the City today with no notice and immediate lock-out. If you're trying to reach someone specific at the city and can't, this might be the reason.
