Brian's flight got delayed today until a later time, so he won't be able to do a part-day at work after all. So, instead, I'll be picking him up at the airport. I will get to see him around 2 whole hours sooner than if he'd gone to work today--wooo ( Read more... )

I had this whole post that I got half way through writing about a book I read yesterday, but enough stuff has happened in between yesterday and today that it seemed less important to finish it and just start a new one.

I totally just figured out what's been bothering me with that phrase, "Things that can't be explained by science/philosophy/David Bowie/etc." People use it like, "hey, there are things that can't be explained in this world" so that means that magic/mysticism/God/psychic powers/etc must exist ( Read more... )
