For more information than you ever wanted on the history of soy sauce, I recommend this site.
Yesterday, I was not feeling well and did not go in to work. I'm still not feeling a lot better, but I dragged myself in today. I slept most of the day yesterday, but I still feel drained and tired. Since I never have to drive a car anywhere (I've only filled up the gas tank in my car once since the semester ended, and that was right before I drove to Saint Louis a week ago), I've decided to self-medicate myself with some things I found when I was cleaning out the cabinet in my bathroom. This policy was recommended to me by my friend Jared, the only proponent of using expired prescription drugs for minor aches and pains that I know. I'm going to St. Louis this weekend for a concert, so I definitely need to start feeling better soon.
About the never driving thing. This is a very good thing, as it is saving me a lot of money. I drive to work with my dad everyday, and anytime I go out with my friends, one of them wants to drive. This is fine by me. I don't dislike driving, but am more than happy to let someone else do it. The only fly in the ointment is the fact that my friend Luke always wants to drive his Jeep, which is fine if you're in one of the front seats, but almost unbearable if you have to spend a great deal of time in the back seat. (The windshield protects the front passengers from the majority of the wind, but does nothing for the people in the back. The blowing wind and the loud music he likes to play also makes conversation somewhat difficult.)
Okay, I've got a question for all of you. My mom wants me to go to Boston with her for the first week of August. I am somewhat reluctant to go, given that it will mean not working for a week and losing a lot of money. There are other factors that make me reluctant to go, as well. The main one being that I am afraid that I won't get to do some of the things I would like to do while in Boston. Anyway, what do you think I should do: stay at home and make money or go to Boston?
