For whatever reason my internal clock has been asserting itself this week and it’s beginning to frustrate me. I’ve been trying to stay up late enough to enjoy myself, but every evening around midnight my body’s deciding that sleep is a more enticing alternative. Drop that noise.

I understand it must be pretty epidemic for those owning any orchards of fruit or nut-bearing trees, but I still say that a nationwide disappearing bee phenomenon is the coolest, most random mystery ever.

Turns out that’s the title of the first album put out by the Archers of Loaf ( Read more... )

That was the most fun I’ve ever had clearing ice off my car.

These are ideal weather conditions for making me grin like a little kid.

I’ve been carrying this pen around for over a year and I just now noticed it’s got teeth marks all over the cap. I don’t chew my pens, so this is just remarkably disgusting to me.
