Day 10 - A show you thought you wouldn’t like but ended up loving

Day 10 - A show you thought you wouldn’t like but ended up loving

Just about every show I've ever loved....I never think I'm going to like anything.

Most notably though:

Avatar: The Last Airbender - My best friend recommended it to me when it was airing it's second season (Earth chapter), and I put off watching it for 6 months or a year, because dude, that title sounds SO LAME! And it was a cartoon - and I just pictured cheesy cheese lameness. Then I watched it - and I believe this took place: 
Friend: "So, will you ever doubt me again?"
Me: "No, I will not."

And, um...

Supernatural - *cringes for incoming blows*

My sister came for a visit in the summer of 2008, and we had this conversation:
Sue: "Have you ever seen Supernatural?"
Me: "Never even heard of it."
Sue: "I think you'd like it. It's your kind of show."
Me: "What's it about?"
Sue: "These two brothers that travel around America and fight ghosts and demons and monsters."
Me: *raises a skeptical eyebrow and thinks that it sounds really lame*
Sue: "Just give it a try...it'd give us something to do together this summer anyway. We can download the episodes and watch one or two every day. It'll be fun."
Me: "Alright, I suppose"  *still thinks it sounds lame, but realizes that it'd be good to have something Sue and I could do together*

And, yeah...the rest, as they say, is history.

For the record, I believe I also told Sue that I would never doubt her again. 

Location Tour: Burnaby Village Museum

 Today Susan and I went for a walk around Deer Lake. It was a gorgeous day. Deer Lake was used in Changing Channels, but just for the opening bit, I think, when the boys are riding the bike and playing with the football.

Deer Lake is also right next to Burnaby Village Museum - which was also used in Changing Channels, but it best known for standing in for Burkittsville in S1's Scarecrow.

ETA: Also, it was the "set" that the tour drove through at the beginning of Hollywood Babylon (albeit with a lot of CGI in the background).

Here's a tip: Entry to Burnaby Village Museum is usually $12 per adult, but if you go 30 minutes before they close, they'll let you in for free! That being said, I strongly recommend that you just suck it up and pay the $12, because it's a great museum and they could use the support. I, however, can barely afford to eat right now (actually, I can't afford to eat at all really), so if they hadn't let me in for free, I wouldn't have been able to go at all.

And that's that! :-)
