Leading into a story with "The atmosphere is like an onion, or maybe a can of soda: explaining climate change with metaphors" can't possibly go over well with your large english major crowd.

I am not one to bash a holiday with a long and storied past like 3/14, but I did think it was a little weird to have been reminded of it by the BBC. I suppose they have to go with american style dates for this one, since there isn't a 14th month. Stupid Smarch.

Pretty good weekend, spent a minimum of time feeling bad for myself, and got to see some people that I'd like to see more of. I don't have a real camera these days, just the camera phone, but I wanted to read you all the text from this Gatorade A.M. bottle I bought the other day: GATORADE A.M.

Alright, who is gonna go to some of these shows that I'm hoping to attend? Was also hoping to go to the Shins / Viva Voce show, but that sold out fast.

Last night I succumbed to the internal pressure to take a nap at about 7:30pm, and was out like a light for four hours. Somewhat ironically, I was asleep so quickly that I slept with the lights on.
