America,

I would like to complain about the movie we saw tonight, but the thought of complaining about it just makes me too tired. So much stuff  getting blown up. So many car chases. So much shooting. So much/little 'comedy.'

Instead, I am going to praise three things:

1. polka dot Converse sneakers. I bought them. For myself.
2. striped boat neck tee shirts. So colorful (the link is not to the actual shirts I want to praise, because there is, inexplicably, no link to those shirts. I'm blaming the movie.).
3. fattoush. I ate it for lunch.

That is all I've got, America. That is all. I am going to read the second book of The Hunger Games trilogy, which should be more uplifting.

Television: a good thing.

While we were away, we missed some very important things, like television shows. Today I watched the season premiere of The Office, which included this gem:



This genius bit could prove to be as classic as this one, from Scrubs:



Oh Television! Let us now praise thee. If I can only watch the episode of Mad Men we missed, all will be well and all manner of thing will be well.
