Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
Have you heard this? It's actually a legitimate sentence in English. 3 different uses of the word: Buffalo (city), buffalo (the animal) and buffalo (the verb= bully). If you add in the unnecessary articles, it suddenly makes sense:
The Buffalo buffalo (that other) Buffalo buffalo bully, (themselves) bully Buffalo buffalo.
Whoever thought of this is brilliant. I love this kind of stuff. Nerding out!

You must have heard of this blog, '1000 awesome things.' I just found it today and I like it. Somebody discovered how good it feels to make gratitude lists. I do that sometimes when I'm in a dark hole and it does help. There's an infinite supply of good stuff in life, and the more you notice, the more there seems to be. Here are 10 awesome things I like today, and they're not very exciting but yes, super awesome:
1. Apple lime juice
2. Tylenol
3. Hot toddies & whiskey with an ice cube
4. Having someone around to fetch you things
5. Crazy-ass dreams that leave you with weird but interesting feelings for the people in them
6. Kids' cereal
7. The soft and wet sound of rain
8. A phone that doesn't ring
9. The big couch
10. This guy: maru the stunt cat
Nrrr, nrr, nrr nrr nrrrr, Into the Depth !!!!
