Create a Free Valentines Day Wish List on Kaboodle!
http://www.kaboodle.com/mk/wishlists/wishlists14.html Create a Valentine’s Day Wish List! Doghouse-avoiding boyfriends excluded, since when is Valentine’s Day a gift-giving holiday? And at what point do the wishlist-marketing sites give it a rest? A dozen green roses for St. Paddy’s Day? Pastel diamonds for Easter? All I can say is, I’d better get a damn car on Simcoe […]
SallyGirl Designs & Page Not Found

ecstatic: Chocolate Peanut Butter
http://www.ecstatic.ca/bracelets/BW-04-008 I highlight this “Chocolate Peanut Butter” bracelet so you can all recognise the piece that I’m planning to buy. This isn’t an promotion for Ecstatic – it’s a warning to back away from my stuff, niiiiiice and sloooow.

http://www.papersnake.ca/forsale_animals.htm Papersnake also sells twee accessories, but it was their wit that won them a place in the fair. I can think of a number of ex-friends and -acquaintances upon whom I would happily bestow a horse’s ass pin, but as that would involve seeing them again, I’ll hold off.

As previously mentioned, my inner girly-girl has long been repressed, so […]

The document, apparently prepared by Heather’s lawyers, contained allegations that Paul mistreated his wife during their tempestuous four-year marriage.

McSweeneys Internet Tendency: Unused Audio Commentary by Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky, Recorded for the Return of the King (Platinum Series Extended Edition) DVD, Part One of Four.
http://www.mcsweeneys.net/2005/3/18ring.html Ok, McSweeneys, this one’s pretty funny too: “Dagol is entranced by the little trinket he finds, the purported power of which will later be said by Gandalf to have horrible, corrupting power when, in fact, all it seems to do is turn people invisible.”
