Just learning that the Weird Al song "Everything You Know is Wrong" is a style parody of They Might Be Giants is blowing my mind, because it makes perfect sense. What's weirder is learning this from an interview with Al and TMBG, where Linnell said he also didn't put it together at first.

I was in Springfield, MO on a work trip, with plans to fly back on Friday for my daughter's high school graduation on Saturday. And my flight got delayed to the point of missing my connection. Instead of leaving my fate to the aviation gods, I rented a car and drove 10 and a half hours to Toledo.

oh I am gonna become the damn joker

Did I instinctively drive towards McNamara Terminal when I'm flying out of Evans today? Shut up it's early.

Oh yeah, Project Hail Mary was SPECTACULAR.

Still standing!

So, after telling me my package was coming today, only to then tell me it would be Monday (while I was on the road), they then just dropped it off at my door. Bizarre ass company.

If I had a nickel for every time UPS screwed me, I could buy UPS.

Shout out to the radiologist at the Toledo Clinic wearing the Nirvana T-shirt this morning. Absolutely the vibe.

Multiculturalism is the normal state of human society and monoculturalism is the unnatural aberration.

The formatting of this Beckett quote does still represent resilience and determination, just of a very different sort.

I just realized that the big Firefly thing is happening on the Ides of March. They're just gonna stab Alan Tudyk again, aren't they?

I used the opening for "In The Meantime" as my intro when I filled in on talk radio (no not THAT kind of talk radio). Would walk it right up to the post with a LET'S GOOOOOOOOO.
