I grew up watching him on like every Canadian TV show ever during the 80s and 90s. He played the lead teen on Northwood, which was like the Canadian version of The O.C. 🤣

I think it's why I liked Champagne Problems on Netflix. Yes, a couple of sexy single people with great chemistry *will* sleep together first, and fall in love later.

I know, right? I recently watched an older Hallmark Christmas movie from 2004 and the leads actually talked about sex. I thought it was so weird that Hallmark has actually gotten more conservative, not less.

I know, right?!?

* I've been listing Christmas Under Wraps as Christmas Unwrapped which is a totally separate but probably equally awful movie.

Manchu Wok is the epitome of mall Chinese food. Not good, and yet so good? I can eat one or two bites and it's the best thing ever, but I can't finish a full order without getting sick of it.

One free sample bite from Manchu Wok but then I'm ordering from A&W.

Waaaaaay back when, I won a three-month subscription to Netflix during their DVD mailing days at a Pulp Fiction screening and trivia night. 🤣
