Colds
Colds used to be exciting as a kid. Your mom would make you soup and you would get the whole house to yourself during the day. You could play Xbox as long as you wanted, and if your cough sounded wet enough you would get the next day off of school too. As an adult, you just have to lay around feeling sicker than you ever felt as a kid. If you play the Xbox, you do it with the guilt of procrastinating working on all the make up work you'll have.

“Sweet Thang” The third track on Shuggie Otis’ 1971 album ‘Freedom Flight’
Really good for driving. Make a man feel as though one of these days God’s punishment will come both just and swift but it ain’t today, today you can just keep on driving.
Hawaiian Brand Luau BBQ Kettle Chips
I really wanted to like these but they were waaaaaay too thick. Kind of like eating a BBQ cracker. Tasty though. Put this flavor on a better potato and you got an A+ chip but alas.

They had an odd bbq flavor i didn't like, but the texture was great, just the perfect amount of thickness.

Patty Reviews
Perfect for anyone who’s ever thought “the Pattys have the best opinions on everything, I wish I had a catalog of everything they’ve ever had an opinion on”
I like it, but I can’t give it a full 5 stars because there is a part of me, a very small amount though, that feels just a tiny little bit narcissistic about thinking me and my family members have the most interesting opinions on everything.
Book Burnings
It would be half a star, but it does involve having a fun bonfire and that doesn’t count for nothing.

Rainy Days
I wish half the days in a week were rainy days and we didn't have to go to work. You get to invite friends over for a good soup meal, a chat by the window, and don't get me started on how exciting it is to drive in the rain when the droplets hit your car with just the right amount of intensity and your wipers are set to the perfect frequency. When your friends are busy, it becomes a perfect day to spend a few solid hours in your garage working on one day projects.

Pork Barrel BBQ
Great little spot two blocks from my house. Can't get food this cheap and good in DC, gotta go out to Virginia
2100 S Sugarhouse
The traffic hasn't affected me in the slightest as I do not live there. Chick-fil-a is on this street so how could it be bad?
So I guess they’re trying to improve the road and sidewalks, but it’s been months and I’m not a road expert but what from what I can tell it’s worse than before. The city should pay for everyone to get their Chicfila delivered, or just mine if everyone’s is too expensive, so we don’t have to go on that road until they’re finished.

I basically only read my siblings tweets. Then I pretend that I'm not even on social media these days even though I send them likes. So far I have fooled them.
Rebecca refuses to like anything on Twitter but when you tell her a funny little anecdote she says “oh yeah I saw your tweet”
Not nearly as fun as it used to be.
Basically Facebook at this point.
Yeah, it has gone down hill fo sho.
Tonchin NYC
I ate here with my coworkers so I’m biased by the fact that it was free, however, this was the best bowl of ramen I have ever had my god. The pig in my soup should feel HONORED to have been served to me enrobed as he was. I unfortunately must knock off a star from an otherwise 5 star experience for the exclusive use of a QR code menu. It’s harsh but I have to stick to my principles.
French Horn
Like if a trumpet married a tumbleweed. Completely ridiculous instrument, big fan.
I understand it has its place in an orchestra or whatever, but frankly its a little lame. And what weirdo designed it so you’re forced to put your fist in it as you play? It is nice in that one neil young song but thats about it. A heyday of literally one song in 1970. Even in concert young uses a harmonica for what used to be the french horn’s only solo, and who could blame him, he has a reputation to keep after all. Anyways, go join the bland instrument table with the bongos and the bassoon, you know where you belong.
A nice mellow sound that rounds out the brass section. Not the star of the show but doesn't need to be. An honest instrument.
Ragtrader NYC
Ragtrader is a bar in Midtown. Pretty good drinks but pricey, and they seemed to make them a bit too fast. You know how when something good gets made a little too quickly and you're left wondering, "What corners did you cut to do that without a couple extra minutes?" It was that sort of experience. Not too crowded though and I sat at the bar and chatted with a friend until they almost kicked us out.
Drinking cold water straight from the faucet in winter time
Five stars if you have good aquifer water, but if you live in a city apartment with bad water it's not good at all (and never gets cold)
I prefer cold water from a stale brita pitcher whose filter hasn’t been changed since 2015 and almost certainly harbors various strains of ecoli. But nevertheless it is quite tasty.
Boy does it satisfy.
Snickers Protein Bar
Gym was giving out samples. You can imagine my excitement. I love snickers bars, i love protein, I like things that are free. Tasted terrible, like sandy taffy, like someone dropped their gum in the dirt and packaged it. I was unimpressed.

7th Street Burger NYC
Wow. Only 5 things on the menu. No decisions to make, just one incredible cheeseburger. The sauce was mostly pickles and I never knew that was something I wanted. Like if you blended up another cheeseburger and added mayo to turn it into a spread. I feel sick already from how heavy it was but all I want is another one asap.
