The pool is owned by my apartment complex of course, not me…which is a pretty sweet deal, since I don't have to deal with any of the maintenance. Once I accept that a hundred small children (and probably their parents) have peed in the pool and only the retina-scorching levels of chlorine are saving me from…

I just finished The Master and Margarita. I'll never fully understand all of the references to Russian writers and history, but even on the surface it's an immensely rich and surreal experience.

I somehow only this year discovered the music video for "Ms. Jackson", and now I know what was missing from the last 17 years of my life.

My mother-in-law gifted us with four egg-cartons full of assorted eggs from chickens, ducks, and I think even a few geese. I'm sure there's something fancy that I can do with the duck and goose eggs, but for now I'm keeping it simple by using up the chicken eggs in a potato salad. Potato salad with crispy bacon for…

How can one complain about beef stroganoff?! Stroganoff is the best!

I had an unexpected day off from work, so I briefly thought about going to the beach but it turns out all the beaches are closed for the next three days because of a shark attack (seriously). So I'm spending today making potato salad, sitting by my pool, and reading. I'm just really happy and grateful that I can do…

Unitarian churches are fun. There's little obligation to believe in anything you don't feel comfortable with, and in my experience Sunday services are mostly just singing together.

The first season is genuinely good, season 2 gets a little lost in itself but comes back around at the end. The visuals and costume design are consistently outstanding through the show, though.

Ah well that answers my question about whether or not they were going to have the whole season of her in "Mrs. Robinson" makeup.

I am 1000000000% here for this.

I'm sure that the difference between sacrificing meat and sacrificing grain was of stark significance in ages past, but nowadays the story just sounds like God was being extremely petty to Cain for no reason.

I have heard of neither, so I will check both out!

I have never heard of this before, but on looking it up it sounds beautiful. And I am the last person who would get excited about math!

Speaking of gin-scented tears, where's Bannon been lately?

And God was like "YOU'RE THE BEST!" because he really really hates vegetables.

Cain: "I brought you some locally sourced non-GMO pesticide-free kale from my thriving CSA co-op!"
Abel: "Here's a dead goat. Hope you like it."

Scottish DT is my kryptonite. I cannae resist the brogue!

He said it in this episode and I needed a cold shower afterwards.

The Rock's ancestors were Samoan nobility, they literally ate people's brains in order to absorb their power. If The Rock looks at your head with a hungry expression on his face, get out of there.

Tropic Thunder was a welcome last gasp of poking fun at himself.
