Sam Carter/Amanda Tapping Discussion/Appreciation

[Chelle DB]

I got a 35 out of 51. I'm a good neighbor to Canada . Were any of those curling people? Of the 35, probably only really knew about 10. The others were easy to guess by process of elimination.
What cup?????
The one the boys wear to play baseball?

Me too...and I didn't have a clue who half of them were...lucky guesses on sime and not so ;lucky on tohers...yert there were a few that I did know.

I had a dream last night and Amanda & Robin were in it...Amanda told me off for not paying attention...she actually called me by my full name...kinda like what we mums do when we're growling at our kids. Anyhoo, I couldn't help but being distracted as there were these little nuts all over the fall that we were sitting on...very uncomfortable. But still, Amanda growled at me and all I could do was giggle...my defensive reaction to getting told off.

Still no Tapping Tuesday...me thinks Amanda is working way too hard.

Very sweet...love the pink...suits her very well.
I saw a pic of Amanda directing One Night and she was wearing a red cardigan...I have one exactly the same but I just can't wear anything near half as good as Amanda...gonna hide that cardi away.

You're a good neighbour.

No, none were curlers but there was a female hockey player.

I knew them without the multiple choice, except for the 1 BC politician (although I had seen him in the paper when I was there in April and should have recognized him)

The Bruins. That's all I got to say.
(or as they say in Boston "da brewins"

I have lost all respect for you.

Hmmm ... only 41 for me, but in fairness, one of them was I got mixed up on two of the 2010 mascots, and two were kick-in-the-butt for missing b/c I *did* actually know the correct answer, but the other 7 I honestly have no clue as to who they are!

And yes, I may not be good at winter sports, but I AM really a Canadian, I swear!!!

I am beginning to have my doubts. First the whole can't curl thing, now this. I will insist on seeing your passport at our next meeting.

Aw. I live in New England. I have no choice. It's either that or a New York team.
Of course, all of my family on both sides is from Canada so I could have a good argument for changing teams.

Does anyone know when we'll get Tapping Tuesday?

Yes ma'am -and at least I tried!!! And had fun - that's gotta count for sommat! LOL
I just ... don't have the best balance in the world, is all. Let's face it, most winter sports involve balancing on slippery surfaces ... I do enjoy tobagganing immensely though Inner-tubing is good fun too ... as is sliding down on my bottom if it's slippery enough - otherwise, I do a mean log-roll! (What? MUCH less to drag back up the hill that way. *nods enthusiastically*)

Hey, I come from a multi-team family. It makes for tense times around the telly occassionally, but it IS possible!
My Dad and his Dad = die-hard Leafs fans.
My Mom's Dad is a hardcore Habs fan.
Mom stays out of it. She told me it was the safest way to survive hockey season once she started dating my Dad
I went to school in Kingston, so you became a Sens fan by default - again, it was safer that way. Although I have to admit, I have switched camps to the Canucks since then...
My sis and her hubby are RedWings and Flames, although I can't remember which is whom...so yeah, totally possible to be a multi-team household!

Now Cdn football and baseball, those are different stories. Since the Expos got moved, we've been a one-team family in both of those sports (TyCats and Jays, respectively)!

...and Amanda totally rocks, regardless of which team's colours she favours! (Okay, so not the most elegant segue in the history of this thread, but hey - I'm trying! )

[Chelle DB]

Just had the pleasure in finding out that Amanda will be heading down under again this year...so those of you who are looking for an excuse to visit Melbourne, here's a good one!

^ my thought pattern upon finding out was reduced to OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG! then i started texting, lol

This week's Tapping Tuesday

Thanks everyone for waiting, AGAIN! (#TappingTues) We've been shooting exteriors in the pouring rain and cold.....and me in a sun dress.....

Q1 - Annette Oert - Who is in charge of costuming and do you get to keep any of the awesome outfits?

A1 a - Christina McQuarrie is our costume designer and was the costume designer on Stargate. She's awesome and truly family.

A1 b - ....I have kept a couple of items.

Q2 a - Andrea Beyer - How do you learn your lines? Just by reading them or do you record them & listen to them?

Q2 b - Do u have a routine that might help remember uni stuff?

A2 - Repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition....you get the idea....

Q3 - Sylvia Jahans - Do you decide what show you will direct, or are you asked to direct a certain show. I would love to know.

A3 a - It's usually a Magnus light episode. And it depends on the writing schedule and the production schedule because I need prep time...

A3 b - This season was easy because I directed the first episode we shot and had lots of prep without having to act.

Q4 - @ValouCOLLET - U weR at the Canadian Breast Cancer found. lunch on 5th.WeR U still nervous? How was it? Tks xoxo

A6-Hilarious. I had a blast. We were surrounded by some incredible voice talents & we laughed a lot!! He was very sweet & very generous.

Thanks everyone!! xox

Tonight I told my best friend that Amanda was going to be in NZ and she just pouted and said "actually, this time?" Aw, I think she has had to cancel her NZ trip one too many times.

I think Sam was out enjoying the weekend like the rest of us.

It's another Magnus Monday... this one looks like it'll be our Sanctuary of legend, as opposed the Sanctuary of bad date nights.

Do you guys have any kind of ritual for new episode watching? I usually grab a cup of tea, for two reasons: I giggle at least once while putting it on because I think of Helen in Kush - "Rule, Britannia" - and also because it's usually all I can do to keep my eyes open by the time we're half-way into the show. If only it came on at nine... eastern time zone, really makes me miss central. I'm zonked at ten!
