I really am this bad

You know what happens when I post two research book reports in one day?

I get into the sort of mood where I'm genuinely excited to discover that all the minutes of the House of Commons from the seventeenth century are available online. And that the IU Library has a book that lists seven hundred years' worth of the aldermen of the City of London.

The sad thing is, I do have a life. And this is it.

Er, I can tell you more about the history of the region that has become known as Yellowstone National Park than you ever wanted to know.

Someday I may even be able to point you to an ISBN and say that's why.

Good luck with that! There's something satisfying about knowing your subject cold, even if it isn't widely useful.

Yeah. I am by no means an expert, but by the time I'm done I probably will be able to claim the title.
