So it's Christmas. Whatever. But since everyone was in this cheerful collective consumerist mode, and I haven't bought any clothes for myself since last year (and my closet was becoming too teacherly, with nothing but button shirts, knee-length skirts, and turtleneck sweaters), I decided to join the craze and go shopping (which I hate, by the way). But alas, I ended up with iznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721850.post-1071876010831782702003-12-19T18:20:00.000-05:002003-12-19T18:28:24.873-05:00The Claus Conspiracy

What in North America is a value, in other places it is an insult.

The Fund for Animals came out with an anti-fur animation for Christmas. Watch it, it's adorable.

Or perhaps there is just way too much bad music out there in the world. I have no shame in saying I am not eclectic -- no, I am a music nazi. Thre is awesome music, and there is OK music. Then there is bad music and there is music that just hurts my brains and make me wish I was deaf.
