Hey people.

Drinking water out of a glass really bugs me. Anyone that knows me knows that I usually drink water out of water bottles, which is fantastic. Kudos to the man who invented portable water. I say "man" because I can't name even one famous woman inventor. I would say Oprah, but I don't think "giving middle-aged housewives a reason to wake up in the morning" is a viable enough reason to warrant the title of "inventor". Bah, uh, anyway, water. Ice is the problem. Nothing ruins a good gulp of agua like the cold clinkety-clink of the ice banging against your teeth. It wouldn't be so bad if someone (Oprah?) invented ice that stayed at the bottom of the glass, so it wouldn't float to the top and freeze mah toofs. Or, better yet, someone should invent a cup with slots along the outside edge. That way, you could insert the ice into the glass and cool the beverage without having the ice actually touch the liquid.

Enough rambling. Here comes...

323 BC - Macedonian king Alexander the Great dies. He was really...great.

There goes another volume of...
