    We learned a song in elementary school music class that lists all the states in alphabetical order ("Fifty Nifty United States") and it is quite the earworm--I still remember the whole thing. I have been primed to dominate Chandler's dumb states game for the rest of my life.

    That red Rachel had for a time seemed like it was everywhere in the late '90s (I feel like I remember Sarah Michelle Gellar sporting a similar shade for awhile)--not sure if it was another hair trend like The Rachel that Jen inadvertently kicked off, but I love when I see it in movies and tv shows because I can immediately situate myself in a very specific era. It's not something you ever see anymore, and haven't seen for at least 20 years.

    Just finished: Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari. While I enjoyed the bulk of it (I think it's interesting to look at how human evolution has impacted societal structure/world events, and vice versa), I wish it had stuck more to actual facts and less of Harari's editorializing. I found a lot of the praise of human accomplishments to be very Eurocentric and pro-imperialist, and found the handwaving of any racial motivations behind the Atlantic slave trade to be particularly uncomfortable. Also yes, statistically, now is the safest time to be a human in the entire history of our species, but that doesn't mean we don't still have a lot of problems. I thought it would be interesting to examine how our own progress has created new threats, but I guess because we have antibiotics and no more war (????) it's all rosy. Next up: All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
