Agreed!

Okay but please keep us updated on the socks

Shrayber, keep living your best life (and pls keep writing dirt bags)

On names, my dad went to school with a guy who had exactly the same name as him, but the first letter of each name was different. Dad was Barry B-, this guy was Garry G-. Both Australian kids living in Malaysia. It was weird.

Get out!

I'm Australian, we say the -er suffix the same way as Bostonians. So... yes. Very possible that they could have just written his name phonetically.

I bet it'll be his name until he gets to high school next year.

I think she calls him Poopah-Scoopah

My 12 year old sister still screams in disgust when you mention boys, particularly her arch-nemesis-maybe-boyfriend Coopah (yes, Coopah. He is a special snowflake.)

This is cool as hell. How do you find the Formula X polishes? Thinking about investing, but I'm really bad at taking care of my nails and need something that doesn't require much upkeep.

That sounds blissful. Super jealous of Sweden in particular.

I've travelled with my dad a few times, and he is the best travelling partner around. Sounds like you're gonna have a great time.

I'm very jealous of all your travels. I'm going to a tiny town this month to look at grains and soils, and then going to visit my family for a few days. Doesn't sound as exciting as whatever a Beer Bike is!

Hawaii will be so good! I like to read the TripAdvisor forums for where I'm going, read travel blogs, look at the Lonely Planet and Frommers sites, and pick out a few places to eat that are highly recommended. Also, I always see if my hotel has been reviewed on Oyster.

Oh that's so exciting! My brother lives in London and best friend lives in Edinburgh. Sometimes you just need to do these things, and it sounds like you're in desperate need of a vacation. Hope you have an amazing time!

The last book I read wasn't great, but I'm about to read A Man Lies Dreaming and looking forward to it!

That sounds amazing. I was in the southwest (well, New Mexico) for the first time last year and loved it, drove from Santa Fe to Denver via Breckenridge and it was the beessssst road trip. I am a big planner - my dad's travel agent has tried to recruit me for my holiday planning skills. But the Japan trip wasn't so…

I think I'll start Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt next week, glad to hear you liked it!
