April 11th, 20230 People love to anthropomorphize things. They make cute drawings of objects or animals. For the most part, this is really sweet, except when it’s an octopus. These awful, not-fish things are really creepy and I hope to never see them in person or see another documentary about them. A group of octopuses is called a consortium. It...
April 5th, 20230 Everyone has different preferences on what they enjoy reading when they have the opportunity. I think fiction is better and more interesting. Fiction is so much more compelling.

January 31st, 20230 For the longest time, I have known monkeys make me uncomfortable. I avoid them every chance I get. If I see an enclosure at the zoo containing a monkey, I avoid it.

January 24th, 20230 Every time a new semester starts I always wonder which is better, an online version of my textbook or a printed version.

E-books are typically cheaper than...
