it’s really very lovely and very canadian to see people praising and thanking the jays for an amazing season instead of blaming them for a heartbreaking loss.
and placing the blame where it belongs … on drake.

So there’s a well-reviewed $150m movie from Paul Thomas Anderson that I really want to see and I’m saying to myself “I hope it’s still in theatres next weekend, I don’t want to watch it on my phone.”
