Haven! Dr. Who! Why does all the drama happen at the end of the season?
I'm going to spend this post shooting around some personal theories about the TV show Haven before next week's season finale. I invite you all to join me as I plot my way through the twists and turns that occur to me about this show.

the end of an era
That's right, my fun time during spring break will officially come to an end tomorrow. I have officially put of grading essays for as long as humanly possible. Tonight is my last night of fun on the internet before I chain myself to the computer in a way that is far less pleasant.

the illness files
