Hello! How’s it going? How was your weekend?
Today after my run I ran some errands with Ben’s mom. We saw the usual Florida scenes… birds everywhere and tortoises crossing the road.
I was on a mission to get pizza today. Mission accomplished. That’s all.
And I played on Ben’s geodesic sphere. He’s a very interesting guy.
He’s super proud of it and I’m scared of everything. So, I climbed it just to impress him.
Woooooo!!! I did it! It was super scary, and probably wildly dangerous, but I did it just to impress a boy.
The moral of the story is, cute boys make you do dumb things and you might end up with a broken are or heart or life.
Ben saw me writing this and said, “Aren’t you going to educate them on the geodesic sphere?”
Me: “I know nothing about it.”
Ben: *looks at me disappointed*
The End.
The most important thing we need to talk about.
Serial is back!!! Serial Season 2 was released Thursday and my entire life is better for it.
I was so obsessed with Serial Season 1. Like, super unhealthy style obsessed.
And now Sara Koenig is back in action talking about a new unsolved case (this case is still ongoing).
Who is going to listen to it with me? (Not with me in person, but with me online so we can talk about it the next day?)
the geosphere looks awesome, plus bonus it has a hammock! i think i need to have my husband build one for me stat!
Oh Em Gee…I’m right there with you on Serial..I’m so excited it’s back!!!
I love Serial, I’m just now finishing season 1 though, as I found out about it late in the game. I only listen to it on my long runs, to distract me from the “but I don’t want to keep running!” thoughts, lol.
You are brave! I’m so scared of heights! I might have done it for a cute boy too though 😉
SO listening to Serial season 2! I was so excited when I saw the email that season 2 was HERE!
Fact: there is a geodesic sphere they built in Boston on the Rose Kennedy Greenway. I walk by it a few times a week and always think of Ben’s sphere : )
(that sounds so naughty!)
Serial 2! How did I not know about this yet. I will be all over that.
Faithful reader request: have Ben do a guest post about the sphere. It looks awesome! I want to know more. 🙂
I already listened to the first episode. I am already hooked!
I too am curious….and to think I thought it was just lawn art. You could plant vines around it and have the world’s largest ball of morning glories or something??? I am sure Ben would cringe at the thought though.
ha!
Omg I listened to it! It’s good, but I’m having a really hard time wrapping my head around Bowe’s logic.
ME!!!!! I was convinced I wouldn’t like another Serial topic because Serial Season1 was so good, BUT I listened to episode 1 and I am totally hooked!
I never got into the Serial craze but think I may have to with all of the awesome reviews! And that pizza… NEED. <3
Tell Ben you have peaked our interest. What’s the deal with the sphere? It does look like a playground version of the Epcot sphere, but I don’t understand the purpose.
Serial. Maybe you have spawned a following. I am looking for something new to keep my interest when I’m walking or on the elliptical.
I can’t believe no one told me about Serial being on again! Thank you… and now how am I supposed to go to sleep?!?
I know! They didn’t really announce it, just released it this week like it’s no big!
I am interested in the geodesic sphere. What is it? What does it do? What’s it’s purpose? It’s just in the backyard? One reader wants to know. It’s quite impressive.
I believe geodesic spheres are a really strong, smart way to build houses. But it’s something that never really caught on because people don’t like a ‘weird’ looking house. I think it takes less material than regular houses and it very sturdy. Ben built this thing by himself and it’s super strong and big!
I don’t thing there’s a real purpose to this one though. He could turn it into a green house, but right now it’s just for fun.
So, is it yard art now? Was it something he just thought today’s the day I build the dome? I’m just really curious about it, not that I’m a dome freak or anything but I’ve never seen something like that just sitting in someones yard.
#1 – I love that you are scared of everything and you still climbed it! I too am scared of everything…lol
#2 SO glad you told us about Serial! I had no idea the new season started and will have to listen ASAP. Muchas Gracias.
Ha! I really am scared of everything, good to know I’m not the only one. Tell me what you think about the new season!
I am soooo excited about Serial 2!! I listened to the first season because you talked about it so much, and I LOVED it!!!
i hope season 2 of serial is good, but i don’t think it’s going to hold a candle to season 1.
the dome looks like a mini epcot!
Agree, I don’t see how it can be as good as season 1 but I’m excited!
Serial 2— yes!!
