This really sucks. Time Warner Cable is really screwing me over. I called them yesterday to have my cable turned on in my Syracuse apartment, but was told someone would have to come by and connect it because it’s disconnected. And… There’s not a slot open until Tuesday, September 6. I really don’t know how…

Global Recognition

This was the result of a study at the Medical Research Council in London. The mice weren’t redheaded of course, but they were injected with a morphine-like substance that apparently redheads produce. So apparently…
Athletic Procrastination Yields Couch Potato
The past three days have had the same kind of weather pattern. Sunshine until around three in the afternoon, and then thunderstorms. And, for the past two days I’ve put off getting out of the house and doing some biking until it was too late. So, instead I’ve done virtually nothing the past two days….
