you know, if you'd like a print, i might just be able to arrange some in-person delivery action...
Horrah! I pick up a new suit today! Black, modern-cut two-button number. I like a little vanity, and this thing pulls it off well.
oryx:

I go through razor blades like water, and use really nice Body Shop and Aveda shave creams, aftershave, etc. But still, I've always ended up with a little...

I may blame Russell Smith's "Thinking Man's Guide to Style" for this, but lately I've become much more conscious of what people around this school are wearing.

How in the hell did the Liberal party manage to get my email address? And why, oh why, are they pestering me with information?
I would have figured that Canada's Natural Ruling party would have a database telling them that, you know, I volunteer for another party.
