Wait, I'm confused. It says she's seeking 70K CDN, so she's Canadian? Why would she spend 70K on what looks like a vocational college (look at the site)? While colleges in Canada don't give degrees, only in rare occasions when the college is accredited and even then it's only in limited programs...
I'm at the office late with my new boss, drinking whiskey, discussing corporate espionage. I will betray an old friend tomorrow.

I'm going to be in both Chicago and Minneapolis with in the next ten days, can anyone recommend a used book store in either city? Or maybe in places along the way as we are driving from Toronto.
Fiction: The Slide by Kyle Beachy
Non-fiction: Design and the Elastic Mind Paola Antonelli (companion book to the MoMA exhibit)
They haven't come in the mail yet, but I'm very excited.
I was just reading this about his passing here: Award-winning author John Updike dies at 76
He was always one of those authors I kept saying I would get around to. I'm saddened to admit that the only thing I've read that Updike wrote was this article (John Updike on Chip Kidd | Books | The...
The most recent book I bought for myself was an overview of anarchism from a girl at a punk show last weekend. Despite my reservations it's rather well thought out. It has no author's, no ISBN, no copyright etc., but is called:
Days of War, Nights of Love: Crimethink for Beginners
Ruth was not the character I was expecting. The human sexuality teachers I have had in my life, all the way from the 3rd grade to college were nothing like this shrinking-violet of a women.
But then I wonder, not having read anything else by Perrotta, if it's an inability of his to capture a...
Agreed. I finished, and still feel this. :sad:
I think this is intentional. From what you might see later in the book this is pretty much the most thought Tim seems to give his new wife. We're only given the details that are pertinent to Tim, we only know her as well as he does, which proves...

I resent that. I actually shook my fist at the screen.
I'll just sit here in my igloo (which my house ACTUALLY is an igloo right now because it's covered in ice due to the freezing-rain that's been falling for 2 days) and await the sound of the post-carrier slipping and falling on my walk any...
I sent my boyfriend to the forum for wet shaving you link to in your signiture and he's very appreciative to know of it. He got a nice little basic Merkur for Christmas. Many thanks for the link!
Depends on what type of books I'm looking for.
For fiction I would go to Chapters, to be sure. It's a big chain, lots of stock, and many locations. For Women's Studies, Sexual Health, or Social Issues I would go to either Venus Envy or After Stonewall. Plus Mother Tongue is good too but a...
A Historical Fiction book that is set in the Third Crusade?
I'm looking for something that would deal more with Saladin and less with the European side, and Richard the Lionheart. My mom gave me a non-fiction overview of the Third Crusade for Christmas a while ago that left me fascinated with...
