I need to find a good biography of Andrew Jackson -- would you recommend the one you gave your dad? And if so, what was the title? (PLEASE tell me it's Andrew Jackson: Badass Motherfucker. PLEASE.)
I like to think it was implied. The title was, IIRC, "American Lion". I think it looked pretty good, though I have to mark it down for apparently not containing the quote, "I have only two regrets: I didn't shoot Henry Clay and I didn't hang John C. Calhoun." John C. Calhoun being his Vice President.

Wow. That's dangerously close to "I have tiger blood!" That is AWESOME.
he was batshit insane. Old hickory, indeed.
I want to believe I kicked off the SodaStream trend, 3+ years ago (best. purchase. EVER.), but I think I heard about it from someone else here who had one. Maybe Jessica?
I think I first knew about home fizzy water from Jessica and then the SodaStream from you, Steph?
Man, I love mine. I can't believe I've had it less than a year. I can fizz water! And, sure, I'll put things in it but mostly I just drink plain (heh) fizzed water. Bubbles!

I would go get a history degree just to teach that text.
I gotta read me that this summer. I need to branch out out of the author bios. Well, I did read The Duchess, and a bio of Alva and Consuelo Vanderbilt that was really interesting.
I am done for the night. I mean, with school work. WOO HOO! It's only 10:04! Now I can shower, fold laundry, start oatmeal and relax for the next...55 minutes. JOY.

I got Emmett this history book for xmas and he loves it. (It's from the same guy at Cracked, and it's (a) very funny and (b) historically accurate.)
Oh, that's awesome! I've read all those Cracked articles, but I didn't know they came out in a book. I may get that for Dan's bday.
You guys. Mardi Gras season is KICKING MAH ASS.
Not from drinking, but just the marathon of it all. Holy crap.
Oh, Lordy. I'm about to go on tv. Wish me luck and not fucking it up!!!!
I know you're doing great, smonster.
