• I didn't think it would affect me much, but watching Curiosity land on Mars, watching the reaction of the engineers was very exciting and inspiring. 

• Earlier this week I was in the passenger seat of a friend's car on our way home from a meeting when we witnessed an erratic driver almost driving off the highway, cutting almost fully into other lanes. It was worse than anything I've ever seen on the road. Was the driver drunk? Nope, he was texting the whole time. 

• Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn was a revelation that I devoured in one sitting. You should read it. Don't Google it, don't look at reviews, just read, blindly, and hang on for the ride.
