not bad. but no our lady peace? no avril lavigne? i’d have picked morissette’s “ironic”, since she’s driving in that video too. but hey, most of the music i listen to involves the sound of a harpsichord, so i shouldn’t criticize others.

Definitely no Avril. OLP was a consideration though! What’s your pick? Thief? Clumsy? 4 a.m.?

i guess this means we won’t be hearing from you again for a while. 😦 with all the traveling you do, your theme music should be “eagle” by abba. 🙂

I’m going to write a poem for every province I visit (no territories on this trip). I’ll start posting them soon!

what did i say about a harpsichord? 😡
okay, never mind that. 😛
i was always a bit partial to “superman’s dead”, not sure why. maybe it’s the lyrics:
“do you worry that you’re not liked?
how long till you break?
you’re happy cause you smile,
but how much can you fake?”
