damn. kids are the best.

re: weed. as you alluded to, it can backfire!

same with the "just stick it in" situation.

that settlement is insane. or is it just me? :/

I'm not using the most productive incentive structure here, buuut… I find it helps if I sometimes let myself indulge a little.

haven't seen it, but I don't doubt that the films would be kinda cheesy without the awesomely bombastic score!

I got an inexpensive gym membership again and did an excellent job of going until I was distracted by what I thought might be the beginning of a relationship? :/
