Watched The Mentalist last night. I think this is the first time I’ve made it all the way through an episode. Not because the show’s bad or anything, it’s just because, for some reason, I seem to be really tired on … Continue reading →

Polite Technology–Only In Canada You Say?

Posted on October 6, 2008 by Tentative Equinox North
