  14. @phillcameron Ta!
  15. "'Bring in milk' is starting at 9am, in milk." Google Calendar, your grasp of natural language is adorable.
  16. The Hannibal Buress bit about apple juice euphoria cracked me up. youtu.be/ZVF7Lpsyxf0?t=…
  17. Every 'be happier' article I read is smug, useless and banal. Are good writers miserable, or just selfish?
