antidepressant.

Most of this entry is pilfered from an e-mail to a friend, so forgive me if you’re that friend…

Speaking of bands I’d like to see, it seems that The Police have been rehearsing in Vancouver for a reunion on the Grammy Awards. I’m not a fan of the Grammies (or award shows in general) [...]

And actually, this kind of reminds me of the demo Steve Jobs gave of the new [...]

Papers, please.

To celebrate the fact that Canadians are required to provide passports as identification when traveling to the USofA, I thought I’d redo the render below.
