You guys.  HAPPY FREAKIN’ HALLOWEEN!!!  I hope by now you’re already in a sugar coma and well on your way to a full-time sugar-induced catatonic state.  SUGAR!  EAT ALL OF THE SUGAR!

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! I’m not Canadian, but it’s a more valid thing to celebrate today than Columbus Day, which is the day we Western Hemispherans of non-indigenous-peoples descent take credit for “discovering” two continents that were already populated by folks who would have been more than happy to continue without smallpox, genocide and thievery, keeping [...]

What ho, FYAers!  It’s Monday!  Do you know what that means?  It means that, even as you read this, I’ll be cursing under my breath at my computer at work, with only the fading memory of sleeping late yesterday and watching  the new Downton Abbey sustaining me throughout this long day.  Ugh.  Work.  Why haven’t I [...]
