At the turn of the 20th century, cities around the world had a crappy problem that was getting worse by the day. Literally. Metropolises were rapidly growing in population, and thus so did the number of horse-drawn carriages to transport people from place to place. The problem? Horses generate a lot of waste. At this time, New York City had an estimated 130,000-200,000 horses transplanting people and goods around Manhattan, which meant there was upwards of 5+ million pounds of manure being generated every day. Yeah, that’s a lot of poop. At this point, with city populations exploding vertically into…

I spent the past week in The Land of Shadow. It was miserable. I loved almost every minute of it. I recently finished playing Shadow of the Erd Tree, the expansion for 2022’s game of the year, Elden Ring. In case you’re unfamiliar, Elden Ring is an action-adventure game where you play as an undead warrior tasked with slaying grotesque bosses across a hauntingly beautiful landscape. Fair warning: I will be making QUITE the analogy between two toxic online discussions I’m seeing these days. Don’t worry, I promise to bring you along for the ride even if you’re not a…

A few weeks ago, I got a parking ticket. I went to meet up with a group of friends at a bar in Nashville, and forgot to pay the $5 for parking at the parking terminal on my way in. After about 45 minutes, while sitting in the restaurant, I remembered. Oh crap. I ran out to my car, and sure enough, right there tucked under my windshield wiper was a small manilla envelope. I sheepishly grabbed it, and saw a fine for $70 plus a processing fee. My $7 hazy IPA suddenly got a lot more expensive. I was…

Last week, one of the world’s most popular shows finally made its way to Netflix: LOST. I’m excited for more people to discover this show. Because from 2004 to 2010, I tuned into ABC each week to find out what happened to the passengers of Oceanic Flight 815. Although it didn’t quite land the plane (heyo!) with its final few seasons, few will take umbrage with my belief that one episode in particular was one of the best hours of TV I’ve ever seen: Season 5’s: “The Constant.” I won’t spoil it for anybody who hasn’t seen this episode, so…

We are back from Spain, with happy and full hearts after such an amazing time. I’ll share a full recap soon! For today’s post, I wanted to share a recap of June’s books. I had more time to read this month – 10 hours on a plane from Phx to London will do that to ya lol – and there were quite a few great ones (and one suprising flop). I’d love…
