brrrr…

To mimick No Doubt’s song:
“You got me feelin’ Hella Cold,
so let’s just keep on movin’!”
Ba-ba-ba-BA-bada-baba-ba-BA-ba
“You chill me like you should
so let’s just keep on movin’!”
I’m talking to the city when I sing that. Even the river is cold!

Some of that clothing used to belong to people who’ve passed away; plus, if you go to one in a high-class area, you *will* find some high-class stuff! Anyway, I stopped feeling sorry for her after that and thought about giving her money and saying, “Here’s ten bucks, go to a thrift store and get yourself a decent coat.”

wha…?

Last night on the train ride home I was reading the fine print on an ad about a chance to win a new BMW by buying a box of Godiva Chocolates. The fine print said that if a Canadian resident won, he/she would have to correctly answer a “time-limited math question” over the phone [...]

Last night on the train ride home I was reading the fine print on an ad about a chance to win a new BMW by buying a box of Godiva Chocolates. The fine print said that if a Canadian resident won, he/she would have to correctly answer a “time-limited math question” over the phone without help. Wha…?

Then on the bus ride home I noticed one of those religious pamphlets and read one of the section titles which shockingly stated: how to practice our faith more aggressively in 2004. Aggressively. Wha…?!?
