αυτογνωσιςself-knowledge

So, I've learned several important things about myself today. Let's go in reverse chronological order. Last of all, Will Ferrell is within ½ an inch of my height (ish). I discovered this today, because I wanted to tell anyone who reads this—Joel and, maybe, Tom—that I really do look like Will Ferrell. Random undergrads at UVa tell me this all the time. That's why Jalaila said that I should do my facial hair like Ricky Bobby. So, as I was cutting my sideburns in NASCAR chic this morning, I realized that my right ear is slightly higher than my left. I could never get my sideburns even before, and now I know why, my face is lopsided. Why, God, why! At least I look like one of the most successful actors at portraying arrogant unself-critical man-children in America.

On top of that, I learned today that I can take the recycling to the McIntire Road Recycling Center on my bicycle. All I needed was a trash bag and two bungies. It wasn't nearly as heavy as carrying groceries home either. (By the way, I think that having two local government organizations acronymed almost exactly the same—RSWA and RWSA—is very confusing.) The only thing we use the car for anymore is driving up 29N, to go see movies like Talladega Nights.
