There are a couple of heavy hitting things I want to write about but I am so bone tired that I am waiting for a more caffeinated day. (don’t worry – none of those heavy subjects are directly related to me — just STUFF I want to talk about.)
oooof. What a beginning, right?
Things I learned on the internet this week
1. Twitter has a new thing. It’s called Vine. I have downloaded the app to my phone. And that is all I have done.
2. Best headline of the week is from the Weather Channel Blog: Sperm Whales Adopt Disabled Dolphin
3. Everyone is sick. EVERYONE. And if you haven’t been sick you soon will be. There’s a new norovirus in town.
{side note: my friend Robin just bragged to me that she “does not get sick” because of her blood type. I did not believe this could be possible. So I went on the interwebs and turns out she is right!}
{side note #2: I have the blood type that will always get sick.}
4. Want to have some “I wish I could be there” emotions? Check out this class that is being taught by Lynda Barry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison: “The Unthinkable Mind” I keep reading the links within that post and smiling. (hint: It gives you permission to take a mental break and color.)
5. I read online that JJ Abrams is going to direct a new Star Wars. This reminds me that some day I need to tell the story about the first time I played scrabble. (hint: I played it with JJ.Yup.)
Speaking of Star Wars…check out this alphabet print.

#2. had me laughing out loud! and, i’m still giggling!
#3. blood type is related to how often one gets sick?! will look into this. intriguing!
love the handout, too!
Ohhh! I loved this very informative post today!
That’s all.
My only discovery that is coming to mind is a Twitter account that only posts pictures of cute animals.
I learned that 15,000 crocodiles got loose in South Africa, and so far only half have been recovered. Therefore I will not be going to South Africa this week.
Yet another reason I really need to remember to ask my doctor what my blood type is. Is it weird I don’t know?
Is it so sad that I do not know my blood type? Ugh….
