So here’s my life: in the last month (actually a few days shy) I have watched all 156 episodes of The Office. I followed that up with all 103 episodes of 30 Rock. And finished with all 50 episodes of Parks and Recreation. I’ve also managed to read The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, Unfamiliar Fishes by Sarah Vowell, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson, Me Talk Pretty One...

Really? I’m lean and mean with a basket. With a cart I tend to buy more crap like soda and ice cream.
The brutal honesty and complete humility of Thomas Voeckler is kind of unique. When he has a bad day he talks about it in the press, and unlike Mark Cavendish he doesn’t necessarily back it up with results.
In short: I’m really hoping Voeckler can pull this off.
Flags
I wasn’t aware that so many of the US state flags are terrible. I always assumed they were somewhat unique (like Ohio) but instead I would say at least 75% of them are just the state seal on a bland background. Sometimes they even put the name of the state on the flag itself, because they’re so bland no one would know whose flag it was otherwise.
On that note, my top five state...

Shrinkage
Elaine: It shrinks?
George: Like a frightened turtle!
Elaine: Why does it shrink?
George: It just does.
Elaine: I don’t know how you guys walk around with those things.

Caffeine and dreams
So every once in a while, like this morning, I get up for work and have a nice large cup of coffee. Then I find out I don’t have to work so I go back to bed. Here’s where it gets interesting. Other than taking a little longer for my caffeine addled brain to go to sleep, it’s the coolest thing ever! My dreams are off the hook insane. For instance, this morning I went to a...
arestlessidealism asked: Wait, wait, you live near the banks of the bountiful, life-giving waters of THE Muskingum River, like, in THE ever-exciting state of Ohio? Forgive this strange intrusion from an otherwise quiet and reserved follower, it's just that we could be near neighbors or something.

Through most of colonial history, inhabitants of the 13 colonies were loyal to the British crown - resourceful, dedicated, and as the Third Duchess of Kent was fond of saying, “Some tea-drinkin’ motherfuckahs.” In fact, whenever the subject of the New World was mentioned within earshot, the Duchess could always be counted on for a wistful headshake and a hearty...
