Me: weird phrasing but whatever

I was extremely proud of singing "Feliz 壁だ" when we passed by this wall, like it's basically the best joke I've ever made. Which should say something about the quality of my jokes

I know I can easily look it up, but I think that since internet culture is so international all recipes should include, at minimum, Celsius and Fahrenheit for oven temps

I live in a family of people who (unasked) like to throw in random history/linguists/geography facts and for some reason we always comment on the anniversary of the Edmond Fitzgerald. Anyway this year is the 50th anniversary of its sinking.

50 years ago, the Edmund Fitzgerald, a 'rock star' ship, sank in Lake Superior
Twenty-nine sailors drowned when the Edmund Fitzgerald went down in the Great Lakes' icy waters on Nov. 10, 1975. The ship was immortalized in a surprise hit 1976 folk ballad by Gordon Lightfoot.

The longer we live abroad the bigger the news disconnect bw me and the fam. If only they got their news from uncovering riddles on Tumblr I guess maybe we'd have some common ground. At least we'll always have Star Trek.

On a flight yesterday they had the option to listen to the Japanese Philharmonic Orchestra covering a bunch of classic monster movie themes and I had time to listen to the album 1.25 times.
