Since I’m currently busy fighting a variety of legal running battles with the Canadian government, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the creators of Degrassi Junior High and Due South (see my last post), I’m unavailable to blog. This is my gift to you today, dear reader.

Why Laura Travels
I’m absent again. Again! Am I ever actually here? (Don’t answer. That’s a rhetorical statement, which is a literary device writers use to signify that if you criticise them, they’ll throw something heavy at you. Love, Mike).
Thanks for Failing, Doctor Beeching

It doesn’t taste like cheese. Imagine something salt-tangy with the mouth-feel of chicken, and you’ve a hint of its gastronomic magic. It doesn’t [...]
