Did you know that scientists farm aborted babies for their "stem cells"? The less gross sounding version is all over the news. "Help our poor [insert random condition here] sufferers, support fetal stem cell research!" Yeah, what they don't say is how unpredictable those cells happen to be when applied to patients. Like, how bout bones growing in your brain? It's happened... and the sad thing is, adult stem cell research has found said cells to be much more stable and being as every person has them, your body won't reject something that already belongs to you if you ever need to use them. Oh, and you're not killing anybody either.
On a lighter note, but still just as stupid, there's been a pill out for a while now for something called "daily fatigue syndrome" or some such thing. Hmmm... and it's been a fad to be on this low-carb diet crap for a while. Carbs = energy. So take the energy out of your diet, do you really think you'll have oodles of energy to face the day with? Can you say, "conspiracy"? I knew you could.
In other news, can you guess what the absolute very best diet is? The one that will actually make you lose weight, assuming you are an average person with no special illnesses or conditions. It goes like this: "Eat all things in moderation, and exercise regularly." But you can't exactly make $30 a crack off the hardcover edition of that, now, can you?

Geez but I'm in a weird mood. I have a headache, probably from being tired all day due to not sleeping well and my shoulder killing me. That and pushing an 800lb cart around a commissary for a while. I didn't quite finish watching XXX, but I'm at a good point to stop, check to see if anyone is online (poo, nobody is here, I'm alllll allllonnnnnnnne and that's probably a good thing because who knows what I might say at this point lol), and umm... anybody else losing my train of thought? Methinks it's time for bed... shortly...
I finally got around to making my wall art. I framed three of my old favorite t-shirts (the artwork on them) using leftover fabric from my room makeover. They are sooo cute! I'm glad they turned out well... I now have a picture of the Sailor Scouts (that's awfully ratty but hey, it's a personal favorite), another picture of Sailor Moon (from the back of the same t-shirt), and a Zelda 65 logo from the shirt I got for free back when I bought the game. If I decide to do more, I have a hello kitty pattern that doesn't really match my room, a Myst shirt that shows Sirrus's room in Stoneship Age, and a theater worker shirt from when the Star Wars Trilogy was put back in theaters several years back (I have it mostly due to the fact that I worked at a theater then). I bet that thing is worth money... or was, before I cut the patterns out of it ;)
I got lots of junk food today when I went grocery shopping with Mom. I've been so bored with food lately. So now I have my very own bag of fortune cookies (gotta love them things), a ton of Hello Kitty oriental candy, bottles of A&W rootbeer... eh, I'm probably making somebody hungry, I'll shut up now ^_^
