My hobbies just sort of gradually became my vocation.

There are a lot of songs that would ostensibly be a good candidate for parody, yet I can't think of a clever enough idea.

If you want to avoid heated arguments, never discuss religion, politics, or whether the toilet paper roll should go over or under.

It's hard to really articulate what the parameters are that make one song parody-able and another song not, but if I can come up with a good enough idea for it, I go for it, and if not, then I have to move on.

I don't watch anything on a regular basis - I tend to binge-watch things.
