a dumpster fire

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

As you become older, day drunk is much better than night drunk.

fun fact: the lab rats got into the cars and drove on their own free time, even without any treat or reward being offered

fun fact #2: the scientists actually found that the rats stress levels were lowered while driving, implying that rats find cars therapeutic

I love the whole branch of cognitive experimentation that just amounts to “we taught rats a fun new game and they really liked it”

Don't you hate it when you tell someone to "call or e-mail when you have any questions!" and then they do because naturally I meant "I couldn't be any clearer than I am right now and you should be able to figure it out yourself"
