an attempt to make myself less crabby.

yesterday on our dinner break when we weren’t hungry (due to craft services snacks), we took a chilly walk uptown for awesome cookies.
A friend who is thinking of collecting a few people to buy land upstate to share asked me if I wanted in. Which I’m not sure I do but it is a pretty high compliment I think, to be included.
my boss hates all the same people I do.
It is sunny outside. It is sunny and chilly and the leaves are still falling and being crunchy on the ground.
this malt-whiskey-marmalade, which was a gift hauled across an ocean, is awesome.
my dad thinks what I’m working on this week is really cool.
josh always takes out the mice I kill.
Thanksgiving is coming and I love thanksgiving.
I just realized I don’t have to leave for work for 2 hrs so I’m going for a walk.

“Alice asked the Chesire Cat, who was sitting in a tree, “What road do I take?”
The cat asked, “Where do you want to go?”
“I don’t know”, Alice answered.
“Then,” said the cat, “it really doesn’t matter, does it?”

To Some, Winner is Not American Enough

He was widely celebrated as the first American to win the New York race since 1982. Having immigrated to the United States at age 12, he is an American citizen and a product of American distance running programs at the youth, college and professional levels.

But, some said, because he was born in Eritrea, he is not really an American runner.

The last American to win the New York race, Alberto Salazar, was also born in another country. He came to the United States from Cuba when he was 2. When he won, though, he did not hear grumbling about whether he should be considered an American. He pointed out two differences between his case and Keflezighi’s: Salazar is Hispanic, not black; and when he won in 1982, the Internet, in its current form, did not exist.

STFU. Meb’s an American to the core.

That’s basically what I said to myself. “STFU”

American. True blue.

TFA basically says these are commenters on the internet saying this. I would like to reverse this and say that trolls are not American. And really who would argue with that?

Thanks for the win, Meb. Very exciting.

This dude is adorable. I first heard he was an athlete-immigrant (or however one should say it) which I am guessing was based on look-at-his-name alone. Oh how far we’ve come in this post-racial america.

When I’m asked how long I want to work tonight and I say “I want to get as much done as humanly possible and not leave until they kick us out” why do you think I’m kidding?

Don’t you understand that the sooner we’re done … We’re DONE and the sooner we’re done the sooner I can get out of Florida, away from you, and back home with The Strangelet?

Work out of town is STILL WORK not a social event with three hour meals and bonding time.

Worth blogging again. I love this so much. It’s sad to see Jamie’s life end so abruptly, but also life affirming to see the joy he had in so much of it.

It’s a reminder to appreciate every moment.

Language Map of Europe

Haha, there is no language in the middle of Iceland because NOBODY CAN LIVE THERE! How is it even part of Europe if there’s no people living in it. That is our number one thing, people live everywhere.
