All I really want to do is invest in a mutual fund listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, and they had to go and make it so hard. I don't understand.

I've signed up for Power E*Trade, though, which has $10 commissions instead. Hopefully this all works out.

I'm listening to a lot of emopunk and Outkast lately. I'm beginning to understand why KROQ added Andre 3000's "Hey Ya!" to their playlist: it's not really a rap song and Speakerboxxx/Love Below is not really a rap album. They're musical albums and it's kind of cool that KROQ has decided to remain on that cutting edge. Remember, KROQ is also the only station to which I can listen if I want to hear any new Tori Amos music. Tori doesn't fit KROQ's bill, and neither does Outkast, so I give their programming directors props for recognizing the musical talent in both. You can only listen to so much Green Day.
