i recently had a conversation with Tyler regarding the size and intimidation of football stadiums. The stadium at my current institution is very midwestern friendly/bowl style, and while it holds 82,000, doesn't feel super imposing. The stadium from my undergrad institution only holds 8,000 more (at least, 90,000 people have crammed into it, and i certainly believe it), but dominates the landscape completely.
The Wachowski sibs (of The Matrix) have a new movie coming out, Cloud Atlas, co-directed with the guy who did Run Lola Run. i really liked Run Lola Run when i saw it at a friend's house in high school, even to the point of even awkwardly staying around to finish viewing the movie with her dad when she fell asleep. Anyway, there's an excellent New Yorker article featuring the sibs and the making of Cloud Atlas.
A friend posted National Geographic's Top 10 cycle routes on FB the other day, interesting.
Found this article regarding pullups and women on the NYTimes the other day (in short, pullups are used as a fitness measure, but might not be a valuable metric). Despite the fact that they tried to remain objective, i feel a little insulted that this was even studied.
Full disclosure, i spent an embarrassingly long time attempting to put my hair in a crown braid this morning, and was foiled mostly due to hair length, lack of coordination, and arm cramps. It has become a thing; i WILL conquer the crown braid. Hopefully by Halloween?
