silveradeptA day spent mostly in idleness, it's true, it's true. Finished off the story mode of Xenosaga II (With the third and last episode released last month, I thought it was time to actually finish the darn thing.) and made a little progress into the postgame quests. I still don't necessarily like the battle mechanics of the game, and the lack of money available means that one of the sidequests will take a very, very long time to finish, because we have to give up items to reduce a debt.
Going to happy hour may give you a better career. Those who drink socially apparently do better in jobs and careers. Perhaps it's because there are a lot of functions where people are hobonobbing that involve alcohol?
Ladies and gentlemen, meet a bionic woman. Thought-controlled limbs, whoo-hoo! If we could get the casing to look a little more natural, and maybe work a bit on some smaller pieces so that we could house it all in something that looked like an arm, and we're good to go.
The BBC has an article wondering whether increased availability of emergency contraception has actually dropped the abortions rate in the UK. There's still sound advice in there - contraception used before sex is definitely a good idea when it comes to avoiding pregnancies and other associated health risks.
Be careful of your spinach at the moment E. coli outbreak traced to bagged spinach. So make sure that your greens are disease free by preparing them accordingly.
A commentary on the difficulties of the current copyright law in the Internet age, entitled, somewhat appropriately, How Copyright Broke. It broke when copyright holders tried to enforce unwieldy licensing on the people buying the works - and the restrictions that come about on copyrighted material that prevent the natural inclination of people to share things like documents, books, and music.
If someone asks you a question, you might be better able to solve it if you turn your head away from the questioner and think about the question. It may not look particularly polite, but it might help your brain get in gear. Makes sense to me - I'll look at something else while considering problems when I'm not directly scribbling or reading.
Tomorrow should prove to be equally idle, although more sport-watching involved there. I'll probaboy do some reading here and there, too, but I actually try to read not too far in advance so that I don't forget the relevant things when it comes to class discussion. Such are the advantages of knowing your own schedule, I think. Anyway, bed and the wonders therein.

The abortion article did speculate as to whether it might be a matter of not knowing more than a matter of not being able to have. As with most complex things, there's always more to it than there appears.
Re: Drinkers, maybe, maybe not. IF they earn say $100 more and only have two drinks at $5 each there's a net gain of $90 there. They might be bringing more home than the cost of the booze.

Really, giving a drinker and extra $100 is a bad idea. They should give it to me instead, since I'm poor.
