The Syracuse newspaper made a whole ass Instagram post announcing that a Wendy’s is coming to the mall. Wendy’s? In a food court? This is absurd! Unheard of! We must inform the populace! Malls are back, baby!

RIP Gil Gerard. I picked up the Buck Rogers pilot movie soundtrack just a couple weeks ago from my local record store. That show was one of my favorites as a little kid and Star Wars/Star Trek fan.

I drove from Rochester, NY to Boston to see Stereolab with a friend who lives out there. I arrived at night, in torrential rain, without GPS, during the Big Dig. I couldn’t reach him and ended up lost for an hour. I randomly found the packed club, saw most of the show & then found him outside after.

I declined a game involving lots of math, saying “I’m not good at math,” but I realized that’s not true. I took AP Calculus then up through Calc 3 in college. It just never came intuitively and by the end I was completely burned out on it. Now, doing fast calculations in my head gives me anxiety.
