[it's like they don't listen at all when I open my mouth]

Scene: sitting in the boys' living room, flipping through Netflix for something to watch.

Ross: Hey, Justin and I saw an advert the other day, and do you think we would like this Sanctuary show?

Me: ...

Me: ...

Me: ... Yes, actually, I do think you'd like it, although the pilot's rubbish.

Ross: Oh, that's not a good sign... Alex?

Alex: The only thing I know about it is that it's got that actress from Stargate that KK likes, and so she's probably horribly biased.

Me: Hey! I'm watching Stargate for her too, and I know that's shit!

Alex: *chokes half to death laughing* YES it is.

...they still have to finish BSG, but they are warming to the idea! :D :D

I was over because Ross had a friend from Canada visiting, and man, I don't know what it was, but I was able to take a step back and identify a huge amount of the Canadianisms he pulled in terms of behaviour, many of which are ones that I totally recognised as being part of my own repertoire. It was hilarious and a little disturbing at the same time. We really do do passive-aggressive in a way that no other country I know of has achieved. :P
