English really needs to come up with a better differentiation for to “read” and have “read”.

Anywho, it’s Brain Awareness Week. Are you aware of your brain? Is your brain aware of your brain? Is that too meta for it? Is it about to explode??

You never know what kind of schools people are enrolled in these days! I suppose if you have to be at an academy for a strange profession, “Lion Tamer Academy” would be a pretty good one.

Some guy in Eastern Europe really did invent the cure to baldness. He even sent you his amazing offer, though poorly translated and mangled further when his cat walked on the keyboard. And you just threw it away. Like common spam!

For whatever reason, I’ve been saying “Skyrim Sword” all week when referring to either/both Elder Scrolls V: Skryim and Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. My subconscious apparently think they belong together; their respective logos certainly mesh well!

8-year old me: “When I grow up, I’m going to have ice cream for breakfast any time I want to.” …And I do. With hot fudge.
