THE TIME-LINE HAS BEEN RESTORED!!!!

We're now officially back to normal. Of course, some will cry foul because this comic did run on cracked, but that's just the way my posting schedule works.  Besides, I gotta admit, this particular comic is one of my favorite things I've ever written.

Niko Alm argued that as a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster he was required to wear the 'religious headgear.' After asking him to submit to a mental exam, Austria relented and issued his license.

Weekend Recap

Watched: Harold and Maude - it’s available on netflix instant and I highly recommend it, even if no one else does.

Listened: Grace Potter and the Nocturnals and The Avett Brothers - It was a simulcast showing of the concert at Red Rocks in Denver, CO. We watched it on the giant screen at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. Lot’s of unfortunate buffering issues. But it was still awesome.



Went: Pretty much nowhere. Everything I did was in 5 miles of home.

Accomplished: I flossed. That counts for something right?

Bought: Vibram Five Fingers shoes. John and I both have a pair now. Pretty crazy but we’re enjoying them.



Best Deal: Harris Teeter spent $26.39. Actual Retail: $54.70. (The 3 Musketeers bars were free!)





Plans: An upcoming trip to Virginia, and a baby shower for my future nephew (and his parents).

Goats, Bubbles, and Economic Collapse.

The Great Hargeisa Goat Bubble by Julian Gough is amusing and very much worth reading. It was originally published in the Financial Times and was the first short story they ever published. There's also a BBC radio play about it, though I haven't listened to it, I'm sure it's excellent as well.

The Memory Palace

The Memory Palace has fascinating podcasts by Nate DiMeo on some of the strangest things in history. From bats as bombers to hallucinating Dutchmen, each one is different, interesting, sad, and funny. I've only listened to the first 5 episodes, but I already recommend it to all 1 of my readers.
