What is with Jack Johnson? The musician, not the heavyweight. I can't think of another artist whose music has been absolutely everywhere I go for this long.

Colorsavvy's hilarious post reminded me of something . . . I keep getting the impression that the crazy people in France are crazier than the crazy people in Canada. Its not just that they're ranting and raving in a language that I don't really understand. Its also the clothing. At home, you generally see the value village get-up that sometimes ( Read more... )
