Comments
Someone else who likes Charles de Lint!!! One of my favorite authors and almost no-one seems to read him.
As for 'mmm', I think most mothers are the same. One day I swear I will find that I have given permission for my kids to join a commune and sell drugs because I actually thought they were asking for a drink!
Posted by: Judy Edmonds at December 30, 2005 10:05 AMThat's mom's fav. Nick Cave song as well.
Posted by: Fiona_bun at December 30, 2005 03:36 PMWhy Manitoba?
Interesting meme, by the way ... if I have time I'll do it, but time is short these days.
Posted by: Samantha at December 31, 2005 12:53 AMOoh, yes, to your #5 & #7 songs! There was a time when "You Oughta Know" could practically have been my theme song!
Posted by: Janet at December 31, 2005 09:55 AMJust curious here... why Manitoba? I was born on the Canadian prairie so I won't make fun of your reasons. But now I am dying to know. :)
