Well, tonight I went to a wonderful Christmas party at my friend Caitlin’s house. Her mom and dad did a wonderful job feeding and drinking us up. They are probably the most gracious, kind hearted people I know.
But that’s not what I want to address here.
I come home and find this note on my computer:

I was at the Harewood Arms Pub Liquor store in Nanaimo the other day when I saw this, the biggest anti-shoplifting sign I’ve ever encountered:
This is a liquor store in the neighbourhood of my youth. Harewood is an area of south Nanaimo that used to be a separate municipality. It’s got a very strong sense [...]
Looking for tombstones - unearthing live relatives.
I’m going to visit my friend Yuri in Ladysmith this weekend… he’s the older brother of my friend Geordie.

Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England’s overthrow;
By God’s providence he was catch’d
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, [...]

Okay, so a little whle back I posted a complaint letter about some disgusting ice cream I ate. Well, today I got a response!
I also got a coupon for a free Breyer’s product woth up to $9! Sweet, eh?
I always get these stupid right wing flyers from the Conservative Party of Canada. Most of the time I just throw them out, but this one in particular really pissed me off:

To Whom It May Concern:
On July 11 I purchased a two litre tub of your “Classic Rich & Creamy Vanilla Frozen Dessert” product and am extremely disappointed with it.
