- I need to write a will and so do you.
- Leave your family more than $1 in your will. It looks better.
- Also don't be a racist.
- Also name your kids a normal name. Esther Lester, Edward Pancake and Charles Charles are not normal names.
- Driving is really dangerous, and death certificates are not fun to read.
- If you end up with a job as a register of wills, please write legibly.
- The feminine form of executor is executrix. One can also be a testatrix or an administratrix.
- Podcasts help the time go by. RadioLab and This American Life have been good to me.
- However, headphones start to fall apart when used for eight hours a day.
- Coffee.
- Two of my favorite albums ever have turned out to be "Agaetis Byrjun" by Sigur Ros and "Gulag Orkestar" by Beirut. Can't get enough.
- Okay the last one is the most interesting:
I think that I am convinced that aliens exist. Not logically convinced because I don't know if that is possible. But between reading C. S. Lewis's Space Trilogy and listening to a couple Radio Labs on space (and the Voyager Golden Record which is SO FASCINATING), I have decided that I want to think that there is someone else out there. It makes sense I guess. There's a lot of stuff in the universe besides Earth, so I think maybe there is more life than just on Earth. I don't know. I'll probably never know. But maybe I'm right.

regarding headphones...

you should give these a go. i am a huge fan.
-relatively inexpensive
-sound quality is very impressive considering the price point
-BEST OF ALL: they are designed to put pressure on the sides of your head just above your ears as opposed to applying the pressure direclty on your ears, which--for me--is actually very fatiguing during marathon headphone sessions.
-awesome 80's style
Also, I was the first person to ever play Beirut for you, so boo-yah.
I've always found the Voyager capsules fascinating as well. I followed your Wikipedia link, and now I'm obsessed with wondering about what aliens will think about "Johnny B Goode".
Love the list, and you're right, the last is the best. Which so-happens to be a reoccurring subject in my life lately. Weird I know, but Jared has recently come upon some interesting info about Aliens and out government via scientists. And then the other day, on fox news, there apparently was an UFO sighting by our Airforce on some space satellite cameras. Anyway, I know Jared and I both would love to hear more!
Regarding Charles Charles: for real or have you been watching Pushing Daises?
And The Voyager Golden Record is awesome
