Another Concept Over Which to Mull
by cari | January 2008
What would happen if you could, I don’t know, freeze time or jump into an alternate dimension or something so you could kiss or fool around with anyone with no consequences?
I would also like to use something of this nature for sleeping so I don’t miss out on anything but still get a full 8 hours.

An extended version of Bon Iver’s La Blogotheque Take Away Show of “For Emma, Forever Ago” with three versions of the song and some very startled tourists.

Declare Your Independence…From Witchcraft[ Topic Religion ]
500 years ago — before the birth of our wonderfully Christian nation — many of the maladies of the day were attributed to “dark magic” and witchcraft. This was a period during which thousands of innocent women were ripped from their loved-ones and violently burned at the stake for their “crimes”. Clearly we’ve made one [...]
Stupidity Still Reigns in Cari Land[ Topic Ridiculosity ]
