SO needs to be the name of the next reality TV show

I hear that's where they're dropping the next batch of Survivor contestants, God help them. That huge country and not a single road sign off the highways anywhere. Just miles and miles (oh, excuse me, kilometers and kilometers) of unmarked, possibly unnamed two lane roads stretching between far-flung, obscure towns that rise up out of nowhere like Superman's Fortress of Solitude.

And btw? Now that I am officially an American Express Cardholder, I CAN GET STRATFORD TICKETS THIS SATURDAY!!!! So I need to know ASAP (by Friday night) exactly which shows you want tickets to. For absolute sure, my agenda is:

Hamlet
Romeo & Juliet
The Taming of the Shrew

Other possibilities are:

The Trojan Women
Love's Labour's Lost

Lemme know which of these are on your absolute agenda. BY FRIDAY NIGHT.

It's actually kilometres and kilometres, but we won't split hairs.

...of unmarked, possibly unnamed two lane roads stretching between far-flung, obscure towns that rise up out of nowhere like Superman's Fortress of Solitude.

Oh, pish, darling, they won't JUST be dropped off in Ontario. *g*

Anyway, I hate Survivor, so I vote for Suddenly in Canada being its own show. One of the challenges is certain to be sticking some poor unsuspecting thing behind the wheel of a car in the middle of downtown Toronto. At night.

Or, y'know, they could do something with dogsleds.

I'm at work now (double shift), but I'll email tomorrow about the tickets. If you don't hear from me, call me and yell at me. DEFINITELY Hamlet.

ah, you corrected the spelling of kilometres. Excellent.

I corrected the Canadian spelling of kilometres. It's kilometers in United Statsean. But since my pitch to the entertainment industry is for a show about Canada, well. Besides, teasing [livejournal.com profile] peacey is fun! ;)

And anyway, Why oh Why can't there be one standard of spelling? *angsts* I've written in a mishmash of Brit and US spelling since I was around twelve because I think Brit is prettier, but gah, it's all so confusing! I have three separate spellcheck dictionaries on my computer, just for English. I haven't even tried to figure out Australian spelling, which I'll bet is an even different set of rules.

Just shorten every word to one syllable and add "o" at the end, and you'll be fine in Australian.

*ducks in case Australians are reading this*
