I really wish Merriweather shows would have an Alamo Drafthouse Style PSA about what is acceptable and not acceptable behavior for concert goers.

Everyone surrounding me at the National concert last night just talked through the entire show. Talked over the music. Just treated the event like a happy hour. Messing with their phones the entire time, talking over each song. It was really distracting. I politely asked people to stop and some of them did, but man, it really sucks spending 100 bucks on a show and having it ruined by the people in front of you, and next to you.

To top it all off right after I heard the news I backed my car out of the driveway right into a parked car.  And I shattered my phone screen later in the day.

I'm not leaving the house this weekend.

Poor deer.

We're driving home from the baseball game today, and my five year old asks, "Is December 1 going to be on Saturday again this year?"

Which provided the opportunity to explain that if it were on Saturday last year it would be on Sunday this year, unless it was a leap year.

But how the hell did she know it was on a Saturday? Because indeed it was. I asked her and she said "Because I remember December 2 was on a Sunday, so December 1 must have been a Saturday."

Anyone want Edward Snowden's last job? http://careers.boozallen.com/mobile/job/Honolulu-Information-Security-Engineer%2C-Mid-Job-HI-96801/2280056/ ;?

Struggling to come up with a joke about the background check.

I've met Glenn Greenwald so I think I'm already disqualified.

nice.

Greenwald basically telling Savannah Guthrie how she is failing at being a journalist this morning was priceless.

He has been everywhere over the last few days!

Quite ballsy/honorable what this guy did, but his life is doomed.

Hipsters who dress like Jackie from Roseanne.  Brilliant.

I Said "Hipsters who dress LIKE Jackie from Roseanne."

Not surprising…alcoholism is so rampant in the former soviet union it's sad.  South Korea and the US are the big surprises for me on that list.
