Stuff & Things 2/11

:: There are two downsides to working out a lot -- more laundry and a bigger appetite.
I can barely keep up with keeping my fitness clothes clean. And I feel like I cannot eat enough.  If anyone has suggestions for either of these things, I would appreciate them.

:: I'm currently reading the sixth Harry Potter book, and it's easier to read than the last one.

I have a few examples of my own and from friends. But I'd love to hear more stories. Do you have one?

:: Stephen Kellogg's new album South West North East comes out TOMORROW.

And here are a few funny things I found recently:
