I get earworms a lot. This is not due to poor hygiene, because earworms aren’t actually worms. An earworm is simply a song that gets stuck in your head for hours or even days on end. I suspect that I spend more days with an earworm than without one. Earworms are apparently not an uncommon …read more…
Life is tough, especially now. While the internet used to be a fun place where you got to hang out for a few hours every once in a while, now it’s a place where we have to be because that’s where everything is nowadays—it’s almost impossible to do regular banking in person any more. So …read more…
