Another election, another marijuana initiative. I usually find them comic, since even if they pass there's no way for them to go into effect.

Yes, album (listened today) is, as they say, a gas. Half-tempted to fill my ballot with the best pop albums from different countries Pop World Cup style.

(Justin Bieber and Carly Rae Jepsen can duke it out as Canadians; After School and Orange Caramel can fight themselves to represent SK).
