today’s burning question

as you can see, I’ve been dedicating the last couple posts to really important topics. in the interests in maintaining the level of intelligence around here, I need your help in answering a question that’s been bugging me since Jen brought it up: {democracy:3} Thanks for your input.

i think my name was supposed to be christine

I think identifying Canada as my favorite weapon was my undoing. How evil are you?   quick note: just in case you were wondering what the Christine reference is, there was a bumper sticker with the “I am pure evil…” tag in it to promote the Stephen King movie. (from that moggy chick)

blecccch.

welcome back to ottawa in the spring. we couldn’t get any snow in January, and now we can’t seem to get rid of it. it’s not too cold (-2ish right now), but it is pretty gross out. snow, sleet, freezing rain, and all that fun. I think staying inside today is a good plan, and […]

out with the old, in with the new
