Yesterday was World AIDS Day. It probably escaped most people’s attention, and it annoys me.
I spent a large portion of that evening discussing the lack of promotion of this fact with a friend. We discussed to what lengths promotion techniques would have to go in order for people to take notice. Having someone contract HIV [...]

A Wad of Nothing
Dull Times
I stayed up quite late last night. I didn’t really have any reason to, I just didn’t feel tired. The usual cause of this phenomenon is hyperactive brain.
