I got a new 07 grey saturn ion. It's so much fancier than the others car we have/ I've driven. It's gonna take some getting used to. For one, I've actually got AC now...yay! Also it's got tinted windows, onstar, a 6 disc CD player, and a place to plug in an ipod. It's awesome.

The FDA wants to use cloned animals for breeding and dairy cows, that might make it to consumption. And they don't think they need to label it. I don't think they fully understand cloning enough to feed cloned animals to people and if they don't they at least need to label it. It's news like this that makes me glad I'm vegan.

He is in the up coming movie “The Prestige” that’s coming out on Oct. 20th. He plays Tesla the scientist w/ the big lightening machine. Finally, I get to see Bowie on the big ( Read more... )

I went to the premiere of All the Kings Men at Tulane in New Orleans. I figured I'd might as well go bc these things rarely come here. Even though I didn't really know/cared who these actors were, it was worth it. Luckily I got a pretty good spot (right where they got out of the car), despite this lady yelling odd comments to the actors; like "I'll ( Read more... )

He’s also injecting hormones into fetuses to see if it will make them be born gay. There has to be a better way to study sexual orientation without killing sheep. He could’ve used a MRI to study their brain, but no killing them ( Read more... )

I just finished watching the animal planet show “Caught in the Moment” which is about a wildlife filmmaker and a conservationist, who go around the world and film animals to make a conservation music video. On tonight’s episode they went to India to film langurs, which are a type of monkey. Unfortunately they haven’t posted the video on the website ( Read more... )

Hey everyone I just watched the discovery channel program on global warming.

CFLs or fluorescent blubs use less energy therefore make less pollution. If every US household replaced three 60-watt incandescent bulbs with CFLs, it would be like taking 3.5 million cars off the roads. So I did my part and changed both bulbs in my room. At Wal-mart it’s ( Read more... )
