It’s 2:33am and I’ve finally admitted to myself that tonight is another weird insomnia night. It’s alright, though. It’s raining outside; it sounds really nice. I don’t work until 5pm tomorrow and there’s a lot swirling around in my head tonight. Lately, actually. Just lately in general.
something new.

lincoln squared: Follow our new blog!
Hey y’all. mariavontraphouse and I made a blog! We’ve been utterly frustrated with the lack of representation of black artists in the theatre community both in real life and on the internet. So, together the two of us are launching blacktheatrix. It’ll be full of videos, pictures, biographies,…

I’m sure everyone has heard about the great Lake Baikal, and if you haven’t,boy, are you missing out.
This ancient lake, which is about 25 million years old, and thought to be the oldest in the world, contains 20% of the world’s unfrozen fresh water. That’s right, it contains just 1% less fresh water than all the Great Lakes combined,while it’s surface area is over 7 times smaller.
Why is that, you ask? It’s because Lake Baikal is the deepest lake in the world: It’s maximum depth is 1642 meters, which is deep enough for the Eiffel Tower to stand on itself 5 times and not reach the surface.
But it gets better: the Lake Baikal is among the clearest lakes of the world, so you can see the bottom to a depth of nearly 40 meters, and you can drink right from it, no purifying needed. Furthermore, Lake Baikal sustains 2630 different species of animals and plants, 80% of which are unique to it, and can’t be found anywhere else.
Oh, and by the way? Under both the lake and it’s underwater sediment some of Earth’s tallest mountains(plural!) are submerged, their height over 7000 meters.
Lake Baikal is perhaps one of the world’s most amazing, awe-inspiring, and unique locations, and I would seriously recommend everybody who has some free time on their hands to discover more on their own.
P.S. Have I mentioned that when it freezes (fully, whoa!) it’s ice looks like this? And you can listen to some beautiful sounds you can make with it here!
Lake Baikal has seals, even though it’s more than a thousand miles from any ocean. No one’s really sure how they got there.

You mean the generation that paid three times as much for college to enter a job market with triple the unemployment isn’t interested in purchasing the assets of the generation who just blew an enormous housing bubble and kept it from popping through quantitative easing and out-and-out federal support? Curious.

About last night: I will never understand what thought process occurs (or maybe ‘thought process’ right there is the wrong phrase) to allow someone to think that basic house rules or basic manners don’t apply to them.
