Observation 8/31

Plato was a remarkably brilliant philosopher whose ideas somehow remain vibrant and true even today in an age radically different from the world he lived and breathed and thought in. The man was truly thought-provoking, the trait perhaps most admirable in all those a man can have.

Still. Plato is not nearly as important or satisfying as Play-doh.

However. I hate absolutely every document ever written that includes the word "quantitative" in the title.

Observation 8/29

The Emmys gave an award to the Tony awards for best variety show writing. That is entirely too meta, and possibly nepotistic. Can the Tony awards next year then turn around and award the Emmys for best live stage awards show?

Something is rotten in Awardtown.

There is nothing more joyous than the first lightning bug of summer, and nothing more melancholy than the last.

Obese women are significantly less considerate in their clothes-shopping habits than any other demographic.
