Must be something about too much testosterone in one place... and that Amazon Prime sounds dangerous. I wish you hadn't explained what it was, because now I'm tempted.

I really hope we can work that phrase into the general lexicon because I think it can help a lot of people in life. And I'm with Mags-- that's the best line about nonfiction that I have ever heard. Road trip is last week of june 22- July 5, I believe, and we have no itinerary whatsoever at this point. All that is about to change, though-- I'm about the OCD the heck out of those plans! Prepare to be page flagged, road trip books! “Stupid werewolf” is really how I explain most of my life at this point.

Unsurprisingly, the beer brewery was way more fun, and way less depressing. My parents took me and my brother to both a cigarette factory and a beer brewery in the same week of vacation.

And I kind of want to make you a t-shirt that says "stupid werewolf," because that is a hilarious characterization of late-night buying (or cooking, or thesis-writing) binges. My grocery store is open 24 hours so I will occasionally go buy, like, cake ingredients and make cake late at night. And then next morning the kitchen is covered in pans and flour and icing sugar and I'm all, "stupid werewolf." Maybe I need that shirt, too. When are you and your mom doing your trip? I might be doing a cross-country trip in June and I would totally want ot see your list of must-sees. I'm watching True Life: I'm a Southern Belle and it's horrifying. This girl wants to get married when she's 30 and her friend is like, "You're like, so cynical!" I don't think the friend can spell cynical.

I don't have Amazon Prime -- I just make sure to always buy at least $25 worth of book. Even if I just want one paperback book. Sadly, I know this is not saving me any money.

I went home a few years ago, paged through it and discovered there was a Jelly Belly factory (well, more like a packaging/shipping plant) within driving distance. So I guess the real factory factory is in California, but the one in Wisconsin has a nifty train ride? We totally had that Watch It Made book when I was a kid.
