P-arrrrrrrgh

the news is a huge downer nowadays--our toilet economy, our ineffective leadership, the fact that i can't vote in the canadian election because you have to have left canada with the intention of living elsewhere less than five years ago...

anyway, much to my surprise piracy beyond the interwebs still exists! not only that, they have a spokesman! i wonder if they too wear eyeliner.

you give love a bad name

i admit it. i was a huge fan of the OC back in the day, when adam brody was better known as nerderiffic dave rygalski of the gilmore girls and mischa barton hadn't yet begun dating the ballsiest (also seriously NSFW) guy in hollywood.

one of my favorite scenes is when ryan moves away from the cohens' house in season 1. jeff buckley's cover of leonard cohen's "hallelujah" resonates while the camera shows ryan being driven away by his pregnant girlfriend, kirsten cohen breaking down crying, marissa hitting the bottle again, etc. emotional stuff.

but now we get this monstrosity. i know leonard cohen is a bit hard up for money nowadays, but the horror! the horror!
