Well the results of the Farley Mowat poll are in. Funny there's no 1.5 votes.
I must be psychic or something, because about a week after the poll went up I finished The Boat Who Wouldn't Float, and then read Swamp Angel, as though to fulfill some destiny I may or may not have of reading mediocre Canadian writing.
Has Rob become a critic? Stay tuned. Or don't, the answer is 'no'.

Not born normal, he is corn.

So, I used to have this excruciating time trying to remember the names attributed to anagrams and acronyms. I used to despise that text speak, really just a bunch of acronyms thought up by 12 year olds, was creeping its way beyond the tech realm. But how can you be a critic when you can’t even remember whether the name for an acronym is ‘anagram’ or ‘acronym’. And I’d dare not exclaim “Hey everybody! Lets make ironic anagrams out of corporate mission statements!!” no matter how badly I wanted to, because I was never sure. But just lately, I seem to know the difference. Isn’t that weird?
