Decision: I am never shopping at Sephora again. Every time I go in there, I feel so shallow. And yet I stroll through every aisle whenever I'm feeling like I want a meaningless little something something to boost my mood.
I'm done with meaningless trinkets. NEVAR AGAIN. If I want to treat myself to make-up, I'll just pick something up from Shoppers Drugmart. :P
... preoccupation with a media-imposed artificially-high and artificially-maintained standard of beauty keeps women preoccupied with things that are irrelevant to their jobs, skills, education, hard work, etc.

The Battle Continues
I had never realized just how un-democratic the election process was in America. Why? Superdelegates. It's like: "All people are equal... but some are more equal than others." *facepalm* And I thought things were complicated here in Canada. I was wrong.
Speaking of the election process, I hear Harper is pushing for a spring election. Woohoo... *unenthusiastic* What a choice us Canucks get: Harper or Dion. Blech. It's mighty disappointing, especially when we're inundated with the energy of the democratic Hilary Vs. Obama race.
Speaking of the lovely democratic candidates, here's a video that kinda tipped me over in favour of Obama, as much as I enjoy Hilary. It's Obama's speech in Virginia after he swept Nebraska, Washington State, and Louisiana.

I Wish My Last Post Hadn't Been So Timely
Romney bowing out of Republican presidential race. Just goes to show you that throwing a lot of money around won't always get you what you want. Also, that Huckabee guy better not be named as McCain's running mate. Seriously.
Can't Sleep, Fundies Will Eat Me...
It may be American politics, but I'm still following the election news in the wake of Super (Fat) Tuesday. As I was flitting about the internet I came across an interesting terrifying suggestion: McCain would choose Huckabee as his VP running-mate once the Republican race was settled. This would make old Huckster one step away from being President. I don't think it will happen (DEAR GOD, please let it not happen) but then again the American people elected Bush (twice wtf). Plus, Huckabee did scarily well on Super Tuesday. In any case, this situation would be a bad thing. Why? Oh I'll show you why:
