I've had this blog domain for the past three-ish years, and have yet to make a post, so I figured I should do so now, before my entire class looks at it.
The title of the blog is inspired by a quote from one of the great geniuses of the 20th century, Douglas Adams. He is the author of many humorous science fiction novels, including the Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy trilogy (all five of the books), and the Dirk Gently series (all two and a half of them).He once said that, "It is a mistake to think that you can solve any major problems using just potatoes."
Every time I read/type that, I begin to laugh. Seriously, every single time. You think I'm exaggerating, but as I typed that, sitting in the library, I laughed, and was "shushed" by the person sitting next to me.
Anyway, this post is just setting the inspiration for the title of my blog. There will be more posts to come (hopefully), and maybe even a few lists for those of you who, like me, have the attention span of a gnat. (Fun fact, I was distracted by reddit after writing that sentence, only to come back to the blog 25 minutes later).
The purpose of this blog is to give practical life advice in doing mundane tasks. The advice might not always involve potatoes. In fact, it probably won't ever involve potatoes, but there will be advice nonetheless (I like that word because it's three words for the price of one).
So yeah, that's about it. Stay classy, potatoes.
