Shake it like a milkshake, and do the best you can. Oh rumble to the bottom, rumble to the top. Turn around and turn around until it makes you stop." I think that's how it goes. But seriously, I am going to the museum to see the #ernestbarnes exhibit @ncmuseumhistory thennn hop skip to my favorite independent bookstore for #books I don't have space for.
