Check it out! Isn’t it awesome?! Yes. Yes it is. My best friend Mike just made it for me after I complained about how frustrating and stupid it is to format posts in Blogger. I was like “Blogger sucks” and he said “I’ll make you something better” and then two days later I had this whole blog all for myself and a logo and everything. Thanks Mike. You’re the best. (While you’re here, you should go subscribe to Mike’s newsletter. It has good music and fun stories and links and is my second favorite email newsletter.)
2. Guinea Pig in Hats:
Awesome. Self-explanatory.
3. YA Subscription Box by The Strand
A few months ago, famous NY bookstore, The Strand, put out a call for help, so I did what I do best and ordered some books. I chose their YA subscription box and it arrived this week. The contents were pleasing and yet confusing. One of these things does not belong. Listen to this song and see if you can figure out which one it is: 
I finished Here the Whole Time by Vitor Martins. It is fantastic and I read it in two nights. It’s the story of Felipe, a fat awkward kid, who has to spend his whole vacation with his crush, hot guy, Caio, sleeping on the trundle bed right next to him. If Felipe can get out of his head and actually talk to Caio, they may just fall for each other. If you liked Simon Vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda, you’ll love Here the Whole Time.
4. All We Like Sheep Have Gone Astray by George Frideric Handel
The Hallelujah Chorus gets all the applause and standing ovations during the Handel’s Messiah, but I prefer the banger All We Like Sheep Have Gone Astray. Listen to it! The best thing about it is that the most prominent line, that which stands out the most and pummels the listener right in the eardrum is WE LIKE SHEEP. The best and most serious choirs sing this song with joy and earnestness while the full lyrics reveal that people have gone astray from God, like sheep wandering away from their flock. This does not matter though because all we hear is: WE LIKE SHEEP!!!
5. Covid 19 Vaccine
A few friends and people I actually know have received their first doses of the vaccine. Each time I see this news in my Facebook feed or hear about it, a little jolt of happiness and relief zaps me. Lives I know are starting to be saved. We are all so worthy of this because of everything we’ve put on hold and worried about this year. I’m very excited for more of my family and friends to receive the vaccine and I’m ready whenever it is my turn.
