They posted today the 06/07 Diploma assisgnments. I’m constantly impressed by the topics they explore and depth of information they look for. My initial thoughts:
– One covers global warming, I’m slightly tempted to take the stand that global warming isn’t happening, but than again, I want to pass, so I don’t think I […]

Random Bafflements and Minor Disgruntlings

May 17th, 2006 Leave a Comment

Sometimes, life utterly baffles me.
Sears somehow thinks that, while fully aware that I’m a 29-year-old white male, adverts for “Olga Panties” are something that they should include with my bill. Even the name scares me… I mean, seriously, even if I were the panty-buying type, “OLGA PANTIES” just screams of bad branding. But […]
