Reggae, the new narcotic for screaming children and their beleaguered parents

That’s one to put in the files for when I have kids…

New law in Russia to class beer as alcohol

They needed a law to figure this one out?

Cat survives 10-minute laundry spin

I don’t really know what to say about this…I just thought I had to share it.

While I appreciate M-D pointing out this article, I think the real story is much more cool:

Scientists from Goettingen say vampirism is simple to explain

I just read an article that said that the Miss Universe contest has denied rumours that Miss France was really born a man. The end of the article says, “Just in case, they are putting in a rule that says contestants must be ‘natural born women’”. Does this seem like discrimination to anyone else? I’m sure that a lawsuit is brewing here….

Weekend Update:

Ummm…I didn’t really do anything. Sorry. I don’t mean to be boring. I worked on Saturday afternoon, running sound for four different bands at Princeton’s Communiversity (it’s a street fair sort of thing). I guess it was nice to be outside in Princeton all day, since it was such a nice day. But I was standing at the mixing console for 4 straight hours, so I can’t really say I was able to enjoy it (although I do like mixing…but still….). I also go sunburned (my own stupid fault) and apparently my sinuses got way messed up, because when I got home I felt awful and had no energy, and basically spent the rest of the night and most of the next day not moving. And that was basically it. I went to dinner on Sunday night with Ali and Harlan. And….ummm…..yeah.

I need to get some excitement into my life, I think…

Web surfin’ juror is a happy juror

Y’know…they were doing pretty good here, and then there was this:

Verizon added the data port. To use it, jurors must slide a credit card through to pay for the Internet time at 50 cents a minute.

Sort of defeats the whole “let’s be nice to them since they’re making such a big sacrifice” thing, huh?

Don’t you hate it when you turn on your favourite radio station in the morning, and they’ve switched formats? Don’t you feel like they should have warned you or something? But no…one day it’s rock, and then the next day it’s easy listening, and you never saw it coming.

That didn’t happen to me this morning.

But it HAS happened to me before. And I didn’t have anything else to post about….

I have nothing interesting to say. Just thought I’d share.
