I was in a bookstore and decided that I'm going to buy and actually read Paradise Lost (abortive attempts for the last ~8 years or so). I realized it was very read-aloudable so I recorded some of its lines on my phone: (6 min): youtube link.

Let's Make a Deal: Halloween Candy Edition! I went to Target yesterday and was blown away by the sheer tonnage of Halloween candy. Several aisles of huge bags, filled with So Much Candy. I loved it.

Pretend you're 10 years old again and tell what you'd keep and what you'd try to trade away to your brother or sister, from your trick-or-treat stash.

Lately I have seen two youtube videos that are perfect stereotypes
1) This lady ranting about a Bath & Body Works candle situation: video
2) This Internet Atheist dude does DMT on camera and spends his trip talking to the camera about how it's all very logically explainable by Occam's Razor: video

Dinners! 1. I have some salmon that I'm going to bake, and some bok choy that I'm going to stir fry with ginger. What else would go with that for tonight's dinner?

2. What are you having/have you cooked recently? I'm in a rut and need to get inspired.
