I am not normally a huge fan of large national (or international) chains. I am relaxing this stance for Shopper's Drug Mart, however. What else is a girl to do when she gouges her arm open at 10:00 pm on a Sunday evening? Sadly enough, this is the second time in the last three years I have gouged my arm open on a Sunday evening, on the same piece of metal.


In other news, I overheard this conversation at school the other day, re: our pending election:

Friend One: "Stephen Harper (Conservative leader, current Prime Minister) gives me the willies. Aside from his scary-far right wing stance, I mean."

Friend Two: "I know! It's his eyes, I think. They're watery and flat. Almost like a sociopath's. Not that I'm saying --"

Friend One: "You'd almost have to be a sociopath, in order to not care about social programs to the extent that he does not."

Ouch! Sometimes, capitalism is what saves the day?

Seriously, ouch. Hope it's not too bad.

Yay socialism! To be honest, I didn't know that Americans had all sorts of nasty associations with the word 'socialism' until last summer? It came as quite a surprise -- but then, I'm from Saskatchewan, birthplace of medicare, land of co-ops and credit unions.

It's not that bad of a wound, but it was in need of some supplies that I did not currently posses. Curse my thin, thin skin and propensity towards scarring.

oooh! I hope your arm is okay.

On the bright side, that conversation actually gives me hope for this election. Another term of Harper's terrifying face and I will probably go live in the ocean.

It is no longer bleeding! I consider this to be an improvement.

Re: Harper -- the thought of what he would do with a majority government is deeply and fundamentally frightening to me.

Of course, the fact that our conservatives are farther left than the Democrats also gives me the willies, so perhaps I am just easy to shake.
