The colour purple
No, not the well-known novel. I can't think of anyone on my flist who wouldn't find this hilarious: Bad Sex Award 2007 shortlisted passages. Dude. I don't even have words. *sporfle*
I'm participating in Wine Tuesday and that's going to make me pass out very soon, after a 6 a.m. or so start to my day, ow. The shitty part about having to go downtown in early morning is that you run into traffic, and remember that Haligonians don't have a fucking CLUE how to drive in traffic. Which is not helped by the fact that the city just isn't *built* for it. Like the Armdale Rotary - which I think is still called the Rotary though it's a full-fledged roundabout now; yes, they brought in a British engineer and everything. *facepalm* Anyway, it was designed to handle about 5000 cars and about ten times that go through it daily. Despite listening to various horror stories, both here and about roundabouts in England, I actually have never had a problem navigating it. Apparently the "go round in circles seeking an exit point" strategy meshes well with my thought processes. :P
ETA: Ack, forgot: metlab pointed me at this oh so awesome piece of fabulousness, aka the new White Stripes video for Conquest. Just watch it, no matter whether you like their music or not. The video itself RULES.
