Clouds are kind of miraculous.

Not the most profound thought, I know, but there you have it. As I was sitting on the plane flying to Chicago on my recent trip I found myself staring out the window at the whispy, illusory shapes formed by the water vapor. They seemed so solid and tangible, and so close, like I could reach out and touch them ( Read more... )

Behold, the triumphant return of Because Its Wednesday ( Read more... )

Howdy all, hope you are enjoying your summers as much as I am. Apropos of nothing, for no other reason than Because Its Wednesday, here's a list of my top five favorite moments of profanity in film and television.
