I Suck At Cooking I like to cook, even though I mostly suck at it. I’ll watch something on YouTube, or read somebody’s blog about some kind of recipe, and then I’ll decide to cook it a couple days later. Problem is I don’t usually remember much of this, except the taste I […]
Center Of The Universe
Big Bang One cool thing about the Universe is why every person on every planet on the Universe can legitimately claim they are the center of the Universe.

Blue Book Chaos
Too Smart To Study I saw an interview by a professor who’d written a book based on the best attempts he’d seen at cheating. The best one, according to him, was a guy that showed up with two blue books, for an essay test. He spent the entire time writing a letter to […]
