Ever Felt Dumped On?

Can it really be possible that I have run out track pants and oversized t-shirts? I mean COME ON now, how am I supposed to maintain my high standards of slovenliness during the Christmas holidays?! I had no intentions of doing laundry until I had to go back to school, but now i am forced to. So i'm free. My parents are leaving soon and i'm planning on having keggers and jams at my house. No. I swear. I will. Watch me. When i'm not inebriated and cleaning vomit off of the floor though I'm intending on doing some "pleasure reading." Because we all know that doesn't exist in a university student's vocabulary. I'm going to get under a blanket, curl up with Oliver, a good book and gain some crazy weight, so do not disturb! The first on my list is Shake Hands With the Devil, the book that Romeo Dallaire wrote on his experiences during Rwanda. Flipping amazing and i haven't even read 20 pages yet.

Pfft, Me? An indie snob? Never!
Thorn and I were discussing the other day the merits of being an indie snob. The sad reality is neither of us can truly achieve true indie snobbery because there just isn't enough damn time. We can't spend hours pouring over obscurity and going to concerts in seedier parts of town. But believe me, if we could we would so be there. See what's even sadder about our inability to be indie snobs is that when it comes to good music, we only have each other to talk to about it. What's that? Interpol, Broken Social Scene, Postal Service (who will, according to our hopefully incorrect speculations never make another album again), dntel, Death Cab etc. Yeah. Only got thorn *le sigh* We've gotta meet some more people eh? ;) With that said controller.controller totally worth your time! Not only are they from Toronto, but their frontwoman is brown and sri lankan. Is it possible that she will knock Gwen off of her current pedestal of cool in my mind? Even though Gwen can do no wrong in my eyes, i'm a bit disappointed with this whole "let's pretend to be Japanese" thing. First it was Indian, now Japanese, it would be interesting to see how she pulls off Saudi Arabian. In happier news though i'm waiting for the next Gorillaz album! My brit-pop boyfriend Damon Albarn + De La Soul + DJ Danger Mouse = a speechless me

Ever Felt Dumped On?
How wicked is the Oxfam, Make Trade Fair campaign "Ever Felt Dumped On?" which is trying to bring awareness about surplus food dumping. Interestingly enough, the other night i was snooping around the US Agency for International Development, and would you believe that they practice food dumping? Unbelievable isn't it? *snark* Well, there's some pretty amazing pictures on the site, so go check it out, and sign the petition!
