influenza

Googled “influenza” to try and find out some scientific info for school. Ended up massively distracted by flu01.com.

laundry list

We christened the list today of improvements that we want to make to our house. That’s right. Our house. Just got back from the offices of Coldwell Banker where we sealed the deal with our current landlady. So let the work begin! A sampling from said list:

• get/make big bookshelves for living room
• hang bikerack in basement
• redo the roof
• get shower pipe to raise shower-head four inches (ex-owner is 5′5)
• fix cabinet hinges in kitchen
• take pick-ax to cement in back yard
• replace furnace
• paint the upstairs
• take out wall to get more light in living room
• known unknowns

Et cetera. Excited? Yes. Daunted by debt? Slightly. Buyers remorse? Not yet. Ready for a cold beer? Absolutely.

p.s. not sure why comments aren’t working. will try to remedy. sorry.

yogurt vs. gasoline

I blogged about the Neistat Brothers way back in the day. But I just checked in on their website again for the first time in a long while and couldn’t resist another shout out. Definitely can’t get enough of their videos, that’s for sure.

Go to neistat.com.
Click on movies.
Choose Yogurt vs. Gasoline (might have to scroll down a bit).

There are many short videos on this “movies” page that are pretty sweet, but this one in particular caught my fancy: I’m a sucker for the bicycle vs. car theme.
