I do that. I'm not lazy, I'm efficient.

LE TIR ET LE BUT!!!!!

Yeah…

Yup! I've only been there once before. This year I'm giving a paper, but it's kind of shit, so hopefully no one will be there/remember it among the many thousands of others.

I know this isn't any consolation…but it happens all the time. Sometimes it happens early enough that you don't even notice. And it usually means nothing, you can still be successful again afterwards!

Not really a vacation I guess, but I'm off to exciting Kalamazoo this weekend!

The guitar tone in Here There and Everywhere is, just, I don't even know how else to describe it, superb.

I saw Captain America: Civil War over the weekend, and I noticed that when he's grabbing that helicopter he's posed just like the Artemision Bronze statue of Zeus throwing a thunderbolt (probably). Pop culture intersecting with my random knowledge of ancient Greek sculpture!

All four of us had a cold over the past few days, plus at least in my case, allergies on top of that. I don't have time to have a cold!

I had such a huge crush on Alex Mack. I know people like 10 Things I Hate About You in general, but I liked it just because she was in it.

Kurt Cobain thought Nirvana was New Wave. So, basically, it's grunge, but in the 80s.

I feel less sad for Brooks Laich now.

The owls, they're beautiful.

And he wasn't even really eating it, it was just there in front of him.

Turtle! Turtle!

Taran Killam does not look unpleasant enough to be Ted Cruz.

Loneliness and burritos are a dangerous mix.

Point of order! The Persian says "ar-ar" not "i-aaa".

There's a new show called The Lion Guard where Lowe is an adult Simba and his kid and a bunch of other animals protect the savannah or whatever. It's pretty racist against hyenas.
