  • There’s definitely a lot to be said about the exhaustion from long flights. I used to travel often between east Asia and the States, so I had to get used to sleeping on planes out of necessity. I’d always try to get a long layover in either Seoul or Beijing because their airports allowed for sleep. Seoul had a layover area where there were reclining lounges that were really comfortable to sleep on, and Beijing has a hotel in the airport where you can get a single room with a bed. It also has a shower, which is awesome when you’re getting off of a 10+ hour flight.

    The last time I used Airbnb, we rented 2 rooms in a guy’s house for a few days. At first, the guy seemed okay, only a minor reminder about leaving dishes out. I left a fairly positive review, but when it came time for his review of us he implied we were racist for not keeping eye contact and conversation with his roommate. I never saw the roommate, and my husband is the kind of introvert who doesn’t initiate conversations, especially when alone. It was ridiculous. We were also told that we had access to the rooms, bathroom, and kitchen and not to go into any other part of the house.

    I’ll stick with hotels.


  • That’s why I love the times when you can feel the weight of his character in rare episodes where he isn’t treated as comic relief. They introduce us to the hidden depth of his character in the pilot episode when he solemnly puts on his warpaint, knowing he’s likely not going to survive. He is immediately dispatched in hilarious fashion, of course, but he didn’t hesitate to sacrifice himself for his tribe.



  • Driving slow is fine, as long as you aren’t in the left lane on the highway. That should be kept clear as a passing lane. I have definitely become a slower and safer driver as I’ve gotten older. I’ve also learned that budgeting an extra 15 minutes or so to get someplace gets me there with time to spare so I’m not as stressed while driving.
