If you're depressed or in a bad mood or just had a bad day, go here. You won't regret it.

Also? I've found Fraser's favourite radio station.

Go here and click on 'Inuvik'. I mean, really. They broadcast the weather in Inuktitut. And play hokey country songs. And have a spot featuring an Inuit woman storyteller talking about cooking moose and

Thank you for the link to this entire thread!

I loved this, from the mention of the radio station through to the end of the story.

The way it moves from information to comments to fiction traded back and forth is really quite lovely just the way it is - kind of like the film "Vanya on Forty-Second Street", which begins with actors walking through NYC, entering a theatre, climbing onstage, and effortlessly morphing into their characters from Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya" with no added costumes or make-up. Fantastic!

Wow, thanks! the_antichris started the comment fic, so she deserves the credit for its inception and half of its authorship (and she writes lovely things like this). I want to clean it up and actually post it somewhere besides here as soon as she says it's okay.

I've never seen Vanya. I'll add it to my List of Films/Shows/etc. to see. I'm a trivia geek, so once I found CBC's Inuvik radio station, I was gone, lost in utter geekdom. I've also been a Canadaphile a long, long time before I knew about fandom, so I eat up Canada!trivia with a fork and spoon. *g*
