So the president, Barack Obama, just in case you didn't know, has been talking about health care and other blah, blah, blah.
For some reason, he mentioned a bookstore in the cleverly named Iowa City. Which is a city in Iowa. Near the Iowa River. At the base of the Iowa Mountain Range.
Okay, that last part is a lie, but seriously, Iowa City? That's how creative they got? Whatever. Just because it was 1839 doesn't mean they couldn't have looked up better names online. That's just lazy regional planning.
He went to this bookstore to buy some books. He bought two books for his daughters AND he bought a book for Robert Gibbs' son. Little Gibbs got a Star Wars pop-up book! NICE!
It looks like Robert is raising a little Star Wars geek. Now that's good parenting! And to have an uncle like Barack buy you books like that is pretty rad.
Pop-up books are awesome. They're like 3-D movies in book form. You don't even have to wear special glasses! Yoda just gets out of the book and is all "May the Force be with you" in your face!
I'm surprised Iowa City can handle that much awesomeness with such a lame name. I guess they can't be that bad. They are the "2nd best small metro area for business/careers," so that's something.
I'm off to pop up.
Enjoy Everything.

taxes stink
I did my taxes this weekend. It was not great.
I have decided that I have to become rich someday so I can pay somebody to do my taxes. That is the only reason. I realized that I hate doing my taxes and I don't ever want to do them again. Next year, somehow, I have to make enough money to pay a trained professional to do my taxes.
I DID get them all done, in case you are curious. I am also getting money back. Hopefully. Unless I did something wrong. Then I will hear from the government and they will beat me with money bags. Those tax people don't mess around.
I'm a little upset that I have to waste a stamp for my taxes, though. I mean, I just spent HOURS doing math for the government and they have the audacity to charge ME for it! Those envelopes in the tax booklets should say "no stamp needed if mailed in the U.S." But NOOOOOOOOOO!
I'm a little insulted. That's not my government working for me. That's me wasting good money. I will write an angry letter to Barack. And I will NOT put a stamp on it.
Take that tax-people.
I'm off to buy some stamps.
Enjoy!
