Credit, Asian movies and Charity!fic
[001] While I have a prepaid BMO credit card, it doesn't actually contribute towards my credit history, so I need to get a regular (non-prepaid) credit card in the future.
There aren't too many comparisons between no annual fee Canadian cards so I was wondering if anyone has used one of these:
I also have a free bank account with Coast Capital Savings which I use for paying rent et all - so I was considering their Visa card listed above, even though they aren't one of the Big Six (banks)
Anyone have experience with any of them?
[002] Am very much looking forward to Mary Stayed Out All Night, a kdrama airing from November. All three leads are people who I've enjoyed watching (though I refuse to ever watch He's Beautiful, sorry Jang Geun-Suk) - Moon Geun Young hooked me and Kim Jae Wook sealed the deal. I just hope the drama is halfway decent D:
[003] Note to self: compare fonts on So You Need A Typeface for use on layout here
[004] Baby!Sherlock Holmes comic FTW - yes, babies and NOT chibis :O
[005] Sinfest has had a slow but lovely buildup for Crimnee (the bookworm) and Fuschia (the pink hellgirl) over the past year and seeing the last two pages ( 1 + 2 ) had me kinda emotional since we usually see Fuschia head over heels in love but not quite the other way around <3 Ended up going back and reading their relationship from the start *happy sigh*
[006] ANYONE HAVE RECS FOR ACTION FILMS? Of the far eastern variety? Preferably Hong Kong or Korean? My dad and mom got faster internet back in Dubai and his first question was about movies to watch. He's the kind of guy who loves to watch Harrison Ford, Denzel Washington, Michael Douglas etc. I really want him to give some eastern movies a try (that aren't hindi)
He enjoys action with a blend of either adventure, thriller or drama - but doesn't really go for comedy!action nor sci-fi or horror or extreme gore (which cuts out a lot of Japanese movies I think...)

snegurochka_lee! THREESOME! HOT FIC WITH DELICIOUS HUMOR! THE START OF A BEAUTIFUL POLYAMOROUS RELATIONSHIP ♥
(( Basically she finished the sequel to the Teddy/James/Scorpius fic Scorpius Malfoy's Very Bad Week and it can be read overhere: Teddy Lupin's Month From Hell (or on AO3 here ))
It's for the
livelongnmarry auction of 2008 and is just LOVE. Threesome fic that focusses on both the smut and the characterization and relationship development is srsly rare so *happy sigh*
There aren't too many comparisons between no annual fee Canadian cards so I was wondering if anyone has used one of these:
- CIBC Classic // CIBC Dividend
- RBC Rewards
- Scotiabank Value
- TD Green // TD Rebate Rewards
- CCS Classic // CCS Gold - might be the same as Desjardins?
I also have a free bank account with Coast Capital Savings which I use for paying rent et all - so I was considering their Visa card listed above, even though they aren't one of the Big Six (banks)

TD Visa Emerald card has an interest rate of about 8.6% and they only call maybe once every three months, but it does have an annual fee of $25. I got the card about three or four years ago, started at $2,000, now I'm at $4,500. This card also has a chip password.
I bank with TD and I've never, ever had a problem with them : )

Not too worried about interest rate (pretty much only for building credit and not going to carry a balance on it) so I might only do an annual fee card with lower interest later if needed. But I have heard good things about TD's service so definitely considering them, thank you <3

But am hopeful - I usually dislike at least one main lead in dramas so this will be such a relief...a triangle where I can actually imagine a threesome in my head, hahahaha <3
So you need a typeface is awesome! I occasionally switch fonts for my lab reports just to keep my TA awake, so to speak. This makes me an unbelievably obnoxious student, but honestly, we spend 4 hours on these things! I want something to revel in. *sulks in corner*
Oh oh oh, YOU WATCHED SHERLOCK! IS HE NOT LIKE COLIN MORGAN?? XD
Hahaha, as long as its not Comic Sans or something equally vile, I'm sure its probably appreciated on some level mwhahahaha
I did and it was good :D Face-wise there's a resemblance, but the features are softer? And Colin's acting never quite clicked but Benedict's does, oddly enough (the Merlin fandom has totally flown right passed me after season 1 hahahaha)
We've had them (separately and together) for about 4 years now.
Also, I have heard good things about the Shoppers master card, since you get awesome points for it.
I had a National Bank of Canada Mastercard, and it was good, but I got no rewards for them.
If your dad likes period action movies, try anything by Zhang Yimou. For old school, try John Woo. His last one had been Red Cliff which was epic and I love it.
Need to pay more attention to John Woo, gah.
Zhang Yimou's most well know action period movies are Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, House of Flying Daggers and Hero. His movies are brilliant for the visual and for having strong women.
Haha. John Woo did a lot of classic Hong Kong action movies before he jumped Hollywood.
I almost forgot. I'm reccing IP Man which is also another period action movie. My brother raved about that one a lot. It's got Donnie Yuen and Sammo Hung. :)
And actually want to rewatch Kungfu Hustle sometime now - it was definitely hilarious :D
IP Man? Will check it out and pass it along \o/
Definitely sure I would be using it only rarely but for future reference the rewards are good to know :D Also kind of want customer service where I can walk into a branch - which already doesn't always happen with the PC debit (they just tell me to call the help line) so I'm thinking for now I might have separate cards (debit vs prepaid vs regular credit) from different banks and see how things are for the first year or so.
After that point I might get a new primary credit card and use the older one as a back up :D
Still so delighted you liked it, though. ♥♥♥
