~~This might just be my last post before flying away to Halifax for Reading Week.~~. I am now in Nova Scotia and forgot to publish this post before leaving. :) I'll be spending a week with my cousin's family in Falmouth, five minutes from Windsor - the birthplace of Ice Hockey and 10 minutes from Wolfville, home to Acadia University! I'm sure y'all won't miss me that much! ;)

~~Yesterday~~ Last Wednesday, I discovered three amazing communities:

lost_eps,

download_oc and

uk_telly. In less than a day I've already downloaded 4GB+ worth of Lost episodes, couple Vicar of Dibley and a bunch of songs which I discovered on the

uk_telly community. Some of you might be interested, esp. those with upload limits like me.

I now have everything single episode of The OC and Lost stored on my computer. If only I didn't have that limit, I'd send it to one and all who wanted. My next challenge to finish off my collection of Coupling and Ali G on HBO before moving towards everything else. Any suggestions?

In the meanwhile, I leave you with
