| Alec: | Just found a memento of you. |
| Me: | What does that even mean? |
| Alec: | I was cooking and found your hair caught to my shirt sleeve. |
| Alec: | A loving memory |
| Me: | HAHAHA that's gross! I left you two weeks ago! |
… but all I want to do today is to spend the day going on a long drive with nothing but silence, the emptiness of space and some music.

Nick Kroll (The League) & some potty humor on Conan
Found this gem on a tip from my friend, Kyle. The first five minutes are HILARIOUS. Holey moley. This is why The League is one of my favorites.
The world works in funny ways.

I love writing with number two pencils, but I never seem to have a pencil sharpener to break open that fresh pack of pencils … so I guess I would be the unused pencil? It’d be called - The Non-Committed? Or maybe - The Sloth? :)
Which one are you?

So what if I am two research papers away from my holiday? So what if my depths of my soul cries out as I stay awake despite the sniffling, the congestion, the exhaustion that comes with inopportune colds? And that there is an exorbitant amount of things that I need to do before I fly home tomorrow to the West Coast (Best Coast!)?
I may do all these things with a manic fury that make me question my own sanity … but I will pretend that I am already on holiday with Christmas music (A Very She & Him Christmas , to be specific) and hot, wintry beverages.
TED TALK > Charlie Todd: “The Shared Experience of Absurdity”
Think about how much better our quality of life could be if people engaged in more communal experiences like this. There are challenges that we all face in our own day-to-day lives, but how meaningful would it be for a public acknowledgement that there is something so delightfully amazing about those spontaneous moments - and that we should let ourselves be silly sometimes. So great!
