  • My first job as an intern was in a suburban office park. There wasn’t anything of significance within walking distance and our office didn’t have anything in the way of food/snacks. So a few of us would group up and attempt to cross the street to get to the gas station on occasion. It was a nightmare. Not a far walk at all, but it took forever to wait for traffic. And even when it cleared, you had to be super attentive as people in the burbs aren’t used to people trying to cross the street. I hated it and I’m glad I don’t work there anymore, but I had little say in where I worked at the time.







  • This movie is less about being mad at Nazis and more of making you look deep inside yourself and ask if you wouldn’t have done something similar. It’s more about watching regular people live their lives and they just happen to be Nazis who are heavily involved in the Holocaust. A particular scene I think about a lot involves a board room where people are talking about seemingly normal business activities like funding and logistics. Except they’re actually talking about how to build Auschwitz… but it seems eerily similar to any normal business meeting you might imagine today. That’s what makes this movie so good and so different from most other Holocaust movies. Highly recommend.










  • I really don’t get this. Cereal is very expensive right now, at least here in the Midwest it is. I’ve seen small boxes upwards of $9. I’ll admit that I don’t eat cereal all that much these days, but I like it occasionally and when I went to pickup my favorite box, I decided it wasn’t worth it. What cash strapped family is eating boxes of cereal for dinner when they could be eating much cheaper and filling foods like beans and rice? Heck, a case of ramen noodles is cheaper than cereal. Or maybe my area is the expensive cereal zone 🤷
