81 (skipped blog 79)

My total blog count for the term is 81 (I accidentally skipped blog 79)

Kelly: Yeah, I heard Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Utada Hikaru has done a cover of it! For some reason, though, I like Wake Me Up When September Ends better. Though BoBD also sounds pretty good.
I gave up on Facebook, because it was such a distractor. Although I don't go there often, once I do, I spend a huge amount of time there.

Paraphrase (JC)
The first ever recorded finding of a dinosaur bone, 100-years before its second discovery, was met with indifference, and eventually lost. American were thought by the Europeans to be vastly inferior to their European counterparts. Also, there was the problem of discovering remains of species that were extinct, causing the prevailing theory at the time that everything has its place in the world to fall apart. There were expeditions sent to explore America past the Mississipi River, hoping to find live versions of those species, but none were found. Later on, other species were exaggerated way beyond what they really were.
