I do write about other things, honest

Lest ye think this is a single-issue blog (and oh, what a lovely single issue it is), I do write about other things.  No I don’t. Before I proceed any further, allow me the liberty of saying that I completely forgot that The Darcys played The Bourbon on Guy Fawkes Night. That’s a GIMME post [...]

A bitter pill

Overshadowed by Obama’s victory on Tuesday night was voters’ approval of Initiative 1000, making Washington the second state in the U.S. to give terminally ill people the option of medically-assisted suicide. Any patient requesting the fatal medication must be at least 18, declared competent and a resident of Washington state. The patient would have to make two [...]

E.L.I.T.E

For all my American fans readers who, this election season, worry about four years of McCain and Palin.

THE DARCYS ARE COMING TO VANCOUVER!!

It’s true.  I never thought I’d ever type these words, but The Darcys.  My Darcys.  They’re going to be here. In Vancouver! In less than three weeks! I’m shaking as I type this.  I may cry. And it’s not just one concert date, but TWO.  November 5th and 7th, which means they’ll be in town for a few days. Cool [...]

Palin as president

Go here. You won’t regret it. Spend some time clicking around the site.  Hours of fun!  Seriously, I do mean hours.
