Shit's all sorts of different now.

I have a large, leather slouchy purse right now, but I'm not liking it anymore. I really REALLY want a Timbuk2 messenger bag (I totally blame Cashmere). The great big one that can hold my planner, schoolbooks, notebooks, Future Aimee's laptop, and a small purse with my "stuff" in it - wallet, lipsticks, phone, iPod, sunglasses, keys.

And then it can perform double duty as a diaper bag when I have another baby.

A popular Scrabble knockoff is back on Facebook. It comes with changes that could help it skirt copyright and trademark laws.

Now, the game has reappeared with the name Wordscraper. The change could help it avoid any confusion with Scrabble. And the game itself has also changed. Instead of Scrabble-like square tiles, for instance, Wordscraper has circles.

Future Aimée is so sassy.

Very sassy. But she still loves you like Present Aimee does.

*mwah!*

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I carry my iPhone, GPS thingie, kleenex, wallet, keys, Dunder Mifflin pen a friend stole from The Office set, keycard for office, Listerine strips, a few sinus meds, Hello Kitty pencil case with a lipstick, mascara and other make-up in it, nylon grocery bag, glasses.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

OK, the bus story is horrifying, but the end of the article? Sort of awesome...

However, Mr. Day played down the possibility of enacting tough security measures in Canada's bus terminals, similar to what already exists in airports.

“People should always be open to looking at precautionary measures. But let's keep in mind that as bizarre and tragic as this is, it is extremely rare,” Mr. Day said.

He also dismissed talk by some opposition MPs of a “knife registry,” saying that millions of them are bought each year simply for kitchen use. He added that there are already provisions in the Criminal Code against crimes and assaults.

Speaking at a Conservative caucus meeting, Mr. Day said he does not want to jeopardize the investigation, but added he wants to see the killer “convicted in court.”

“We want to make sure that the process is followed as aggressively as possible, a full legal process, and the perpetrator is definitely dealt with the full force of the law,” he said.

That guy would never get elected here.

You know, I'm not sure I believe in the Wake n' Bacon -- I can't find anywhere to buy it.

Oh Trudy, he's a total conservative wingnut. ETA: He's totally trying to score political points with that knife registry crack. A big conservative bone in Canada is a gun registry that the Liberal Gov't started that the Conservatives used as an example of the Liberal attack on the Conservative way of life.

I own one purse. When it breaks, I get a new one.

Dana is me. With a fabulous haircut and new home.

Actually, I wanna be Dana when I grow up.
