The worldwide pandemic of coronavirus, or COVID-19, is in full swing, People are nervous, governments are telling everyone to stay home, canceling school, sporting events, and discouraging large gatherings, there’s no toilet paper and no one is sure how to clean themselves or their houses (apparently). And while the news is full of all of...

There’s a ton of information out there on how we can all help stop the spread of coronavirus, why it’s important to do our part, and what could happen if people choose to simply go about their business and usual. Like, a sh*t ton. It’s overwhelming, some of it is hard to decipher (because we’re...

Another season of The Bachelor is in the books. I have watched the show, I have eschewed the show, and I have been in that weird in-between place where you don’t watch it, but also if you turn on the television and it’s on, you can’t make yourself turn it off. So, if you’ve just...

There have been several versions of Emma – though the best one will always and forever be Clueless, don’t @ me – with varying degrees of success. It’s not Jane Austen’s most popular work but it’s definitely up there. If you’re someone who can’t get enough Austen in your life, then you’ve probably already been...

If you’re like me, you might only have a vague idea of what a particle accelerator is and what it does. Like me, you probably realize that sticking your head into things you don’t know much about isn’t a good idea. Some people make mistakes. Read on. A particle accelerator, just so we’re all on...

We definitely live in interesting times. The coronavirus, aka COVID-19, is sweeping the globe, there’s no vaccine, it’s killing many people with underlying medical conditions, such as the elderly and infirmed, and it’s spreading fast enough to make most of us very, very nervous. One of the worst parts, though, is social distancing. We don’t...

There’s good news and bad news here – the good is that there are things you will be good at during your entire life, but the bad is that, if you’re older than seven and looking to say, learn another language, you’ve passed your peak. It turns out there are ages when you’re best at...

If there’s one thing a majority of adult human beings could possibly agree on these days, it’s that sleep is one of the best parts of life. We’re all in search of the perfect mattress, the softest sheets, the pillows with the best plump and the bedroom temperature that supports a long, restful night. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9PtD4AF0TI/...

You might have heard about a little concern called coronavirus, or COVID-19, that’s making its way around the world and finally doing something that decades of PSA’s hasn’t – convincing people that washing hands before eating and going to the bathroom and just, you know, in general is something we should all try to do....

If you’re like me, you probably don’t spend much time thinking about what color the airplanes are before you board them. You’re more worried about things like where you seat is, if you’ll have overhead bin space, whether the person next to you has a baby, whether or not you’re going to make your connecting...

In this day and age it can seem a bit like the British royal family is a bit obsolete. The country holds elections and is actually run by a legislative body, and they have a justice system, so…what do the Queen and the rest of her brood actually do for Merry Old England? Well, it’s...

If you weren’t aware of the coming momentous occasion, 2020 marks 40 years since McDonald’s came out with their game changer product – the Happy Meal. The Happy Meal, of course, puts burgers or nuggets in a bright red box, adds some fries, fruit, yogurt and, of course, a toy that will likely be lost...

In the latest awesome news to come out of the objectively awesome book world, people are building tiny, wonderful crevices in their bookshelves that look like pathways to distant worlds. Appropriate, of course, because that’s exactly where books can take us – and the good ones have the ability to truly make a reader feel...

There are a million restaurants out there, and people are always looking to find the next best one, right? So how – aside from good food, decent prices, and reliable service, of course – can businesses stand out from the crowd? Well, El Arroyo is using a particular brand (they’re the “last queso stop before...

Languages are hard, and that goes double for English – it plays fast and loose with the rules, discarding them when it wants to and clinging tight when it doesn’t. It can make it hard to know for sure what a phrase might mean, and in the cases of the 6 phrases below, they’re so...
