Book Review: Around the World in 80 Days
I read this bad boy quite randomly after finishing Under the Banner of Heaven. Halfway into Around the World, there's a multi-page examination of the Mormon religion from when the book was written in 1873 - extremely fascinating to learn all about Mormonism then get Jules Verne's 1873 interpretation of the pyramid sche... religion. Anyway,... Continue Reading →
OMG Harold Ramis is Finally Decriminalized
Yeah. This is epic. "This is one time where television really fails to capture the true excitement of a large squirrel predicting the weather." - Groundhog Day Gunga galunga… gunga, gunga-lagunga.
Random Bidtits (11/27/2019)
Annyong and Happy Thanksgiving! Not much to it today so let's get to it: Happy (belated) International Men's Day!!! That's right, YOU MISSED IT! November 19th was International Men's Day and nary a media outlet or coworker announced it or wished me a happy day. For years, Microsoft has force-fed International Women's Day to my...

The Classic Georgian house is on the market for $16 million and includes 8,000 square feet, 5 bedrooms, and 6 washrooms. The home is in Seattle and more specifically, is located on Hunts Point on Lake Washington. Hunts... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer
This is going to be short and sweet. If you have an interest in organized religion, particularly Mormonism, and you enjoyed Into the Wild and Into Thin Air, you'll love this book. Written in his typical style of transitioning back and forth in time and drawing together multiple human stories and concepts, it's classic Krakauer. Very interesting... Continue Reading →
