(Note: This theory does not apply to baseball caps or hats for warmth, unless they’re truly ridiculous looking, as both of these variety of hats are much too ubiquitous.) Almost without exception, hats are truly ridiculous. Sure, any hat will cover the top of your head and perhaps keep some warmth in your body on [...]
I realize that I tend to write about hard to pin down things. I also went back and read through a blog I kept in high school a few months ago and realize I completely fail to record what’s happening in my life when I write. I would apologize for both of these things, except [...]
(Alert–Toy Story 3 spoiler…at least potentially.) Leah: So what’d you do this evening? Joe: I watched Toy Story 3. Leah: Isn’t it sad!? Joe: Yeah. It was really sad at the end when he goes off to college. Leah: I know! Joe: But then I was thinking, that’s not really that sad, because he’ll go [...]
I must have written about this before since I’ve had this conversation with myself hundreds of times. But it’s unresolved, so it continues to plague me. I really avoid having an opinion.

Being the kid that would always have leftover Valentine’s day chocolates a year later because I didn’t to run out of them, I’ve had a similar relationship to money. Growing up, my sister could always count on me to have [...]

Pardon me while I go all liberal arts-y for a bit. Descartes supposedly figured out something new and exciting when he wrote “cogito ergo sum” or “I think therefore I am”. Nietzsche, like most things that had any innovation or interest in them, didn’t care for this all that much. As far as my understanding [...]
I think I used practically every pot or pan we own tonight for the dinner I cooked. Regrets? Not a one; I had a blast. I made naan (from scratch!) and potato curry and dhaal [lentil] curry.
