So Happy Together
Very often people oddly put books against the internet…I love them. You don’t throw away your books when you buy a computer. You keep both. The beauty of living in the present day is you don’t abandon the past. The past co-exists.

The Pomegranate phone is the thrust of a $300 000 “viral” marketing campaign by the Province of Nova Scotia to lure ex-pats back home.

In Defense of Oprah
Ok, well not exactly. I have accidently caught a few episodes here and there, but I don’t think I will ever really be able to forgive her for The Secret.
