Having just left a post where the Crusades are being wrongfully touted as an act of Christian aggression, may I kindly remind you of *actual* history:

My two week summer vacation (from school, not work) ended today. Bitterness envelops me. However, it was neat seeing all the 1L's dressed to impress in their Sunday best while everyone else slouched around in their jeans and shorts. A few 1L's stopped me for directions and advice on how to use the printer, so I guess I now look like a veteran.

Mars Cheese Castle

In late 2011 Team Slap ventured near the Illinois border to visit Mars Cheese Castle, a retail store that's a local landmark in southeastern Wisconsin. 

A Plank Competition

We're having a plank competition in the living room. Right now it's YaYa vs LuLu on elbow planks, but Lisa  and I have taken turns on straight arm and the elbow version.

This fella was waiting for me when I got to work.

Pet Peeve

Is "over-exaggerated" an actual word/phrase? Isn't exaggeration, uh, exaggerated to begin with? At that point isn't it easier to just say "I lied?". It takes fewer syllables.

Great 43 minute workout that left me sweat soaked and my hip aching. I was very happy to see Olivia Slap run on the treadmill the whole time I was lifting. While there I also had my body fat percentage checked. Since mid-March it's fallen 4.8%.

Angry Emoji

Stupid geek anger: Quit referring to the Charlton Heston version of Ben-Hur as "the original." IT was a remake. Try to learn something, bucko. 

And while we're at it, reporters can stop saying Lady Gaga's A Star is Born is a remake of the Barbara Streisand movie that was first done by Judy Garland. Janet Gaynor and Fredric March say hello.
