something

man, i had something hilarious to post about something. now i can't remember. it was going to be groundbreaking.

i'm almost 80% after my battle with whatever took me down this week. this was the worst i've felt since i had the flu, which i was certain i had the flu but didn't. still tons of coughing and lots of just tiredness, but trust me, it's way better than where i was monday/tuesday. i think i shaved my head too soon. i usually do it in march or april. this year i did it january, when it was still freakin' cold. that's my theory. i needed hair.

giving up the gun

every picture i see of jim bunning, the man looks insane. especially walking into his "senator's only elevator." that was so crazy, it was brilliant.

niall ferguson, who is obsessed with the current/potential long decline of america, likens it to thomas cole's paintings known as "the course of the empire."

neil degrasse tyson is everywhere. i saw him on the daily show last night. i saw him rachel maddow last night. he's the guy who took down pluto from planet to dwarf. pbs is actually airing a special tonight about that same thing. i suggest it.
