About to go on a bike ride in hopes of improving my shitty sleep quality. Feel lethargic and fatigued as hell. Don't know what the deal is there. Maybe I'm not eating enough. Going to listen to Botanist's VI: Flora.
Anyway, Stoner came in the mail today. Started reading the epub version and decided to wait. Too good to not read the physical book. Seems pretty comfy from what I read.

All I know is that our fossil fuel usage is analogous to an edgy teenager smoking cigarettes to be cool then realizing X years later that he fucked his lungs up

Did you have to wait around a lot for your mom to finish hair drying when you were little?
I am currently reading through The History of the World by Roberts, before continuing the Greek stuff I picked up for Christmas.

Yes, I also had one of those electric furnaces that would blow hot air at you. I used to read for hours in front of that.

hell yeah bro! my parents house had those! i'd wrap up in one of those fucking "afghan" blankets and sit on top of it and read dungeons and dragons manuals or some kind of other gay shit, soo fucking comfy god damn i almost forgot such a sweet childhood pleasure
You can buy a portable one that you just plug into the wall and it blows (semi) hot air at you and makes fucking amazing noises. They only cost around 20£ and are comfy as hell. Mine overheated and broke like a hear ago though :(
Ill be reading Fathers and Sons when I'm not studying algorithms for my Google interview.
