I found these written down on one of those flags they give you to shove in your window for today.

I am sorting out the paper in my life, and living in this bold new future where coding people's names is much simpler (thanks for pointing that out, Punk) - it's weirding me out. It's good, but I'm so used to my old ways that I had to catch myself a fair bit, writing this entry, but it is so much easier. Anyway, these are all vids. Happy Canada Day.

Hot in Herre by sweetestdrain
Cabaret | 2:54 | PG-13

Music: I Am the One Who Will Remember Everything by Dar Williams
Summary: "Come over here, kid, we've got all these books to read." Professor Minerva McGonagall, memory, war, resistance and hope.

Rise Up by cosmic_llin
