A Random Smattering of Things

Ok, so here's where I feel sorry for myself. I only guessed 18 elements on this quiz and gave up before time was up. Worse still, I forgot oxygen. And then I missed 5 of the presidents. For shame!

I have a thing for odd maps:
Here's one of those old-timey virtues and vices maps.

Area Codes in Which Ludacris Claims to Have Hoes (apparently there's a lot of hoes out in Nebraska?)

-------

Wedding anniversaries: if DeBeers has taught us anything, it's that the lady should get diamonds every year, unless of course, you don't love her. Also, WERE YOU AWARE, you can get a greeting from the president after your 50th anniversary? I wonder if they check up on that. Also works for birthdays (unfortunately only those over 80...I was planning on requesting birthday greetings for everyone I know this year but they ask for my phone number and frankly I don't want to be tracked down over trying to have a little fun with the U.S. Government. You know how touchy they can be).

About a month into college, someone gave me this album and it's one of my all-time favorites - Neutral Milk Hotel's The Aeroplane Over the Sea.

Say goodbye to the Paradise Lounge (but not the club, thank god not the club) and say hello to Cafe 939 - Boylston St. between Gloucester and Fairfield (next to Cactus Club). Weird location for a daytime coffee but probably going to be great at night.
