My cat doesn’t eat human food. I’d say I’m lucky, but it’s how I raised him. I never give him anything except cat food. He doesn’t beg or try to steal my food. He seems perfectly content and I’m happy with a polite pet. Tonight, however, was different. We got Chinese takeout and the cat…
I have been an avid, some might say obsessive, music fan for as long as I can remember. As a result, I have a much bigger collection of music than anyone with as little money as I have had should have. Recently, I decided to start cataloging my collection. It’s in pretty rough shape after…
I think I’m doing a bit better than I was as far as my depression is concerned. I’m certainly not great, nor am I where I want to be, but things seem better. It’s another funny thing about depression. It’s really hard to tell whether I’m better or not. I feel like I need a…
I’m putting the Philosophy Phridays posts on hold for this week. It’s almost eleven o’clock and I’m just now getting some time to think about writing. It’ll take me more than an hour to read a whole entry and write commentary about it. I won’t bore you with all the details of my Friday, but,…
I like to complain because it’s fun. There’s nothing quite like whipping myself into a righteous fury and listing all the reasons why something is terrible. I did that a few weeks ago, when I went on a voice rant in my friends and I’s group chat about how Bardock has been changed for the…
My first science project in the fourth grade was a presentation on black holes.

That just doesn’t seem worth celebrating to me. Sure, it could have been worse, but they are still in a weaker position than they were before the election.
If you’re reading The Hobbit as a prequel to Lord of the Rings, this is the chapter you’re looking for. The original version of this chapter is one of the few things by Tolkien that I’ve never read. After writing Lord of the Rings, Tolkien rewrote much of this chapter to bring the two books…
The pandemic has given me more free time than I’ve had since being a kid. It’s given me time to think, and I keep coming back to the credit system. I don’t get it. At all. As I understand it, you need good credit to buy things that you can’t afford with cash in hand….
Quite a few years ago now, I was talking with my brother when he announced, “Environmentalists must be idiots.” When I asked him what he meant, he said, “All they’re trying to do is convince people that pollution is bad and they can’t manage to do it.” His point has stayed with me because he’s…
