I shouldn't have led with the catdaver joke

My name is Ali and I'm a college student. This is a blog.

I love science and human/mammal physiology, books, and other pretty things. I would give a kidney for good Chinese food and drink tea like its my job.

You will not find a soulmate in the quiet of your room. You must go to a noisy place and look in the quiet corners.

25 Facts

1.  ”Doin’ it in the butt” is my favorite Cards Against Humanity card.  It’s the “Win” card.

2.  I am sleeping on a mattress on the floor surrounded by baskets of dirty laundry.  Moving is the worst.

3.  I miss my (ex) boyfriend and am mostly writing this to avoid texting/thinking about him.

4.  Its raining pretty hard outside and I can hear moths flinging themselves against my window.

5.  Black IPAs are delicious.

6.  I need to go to the Food Farm to get bread.  I have egg salad all dressed up with no where to go.

7.  I will go to a coffeeshop called The Break tomorrow and maybe run into the ex.  I will take a shower and everything beforehand to look bananas hot.  

8.  I will wash aforementioned dirty laundry tomorrow.  (Like a motherfucking adult.)

9.  Roomie and I are currently cat-sitting a kitty named Willow.  She is antisocial with the other needy cats.  

10.  My favorite spring activity is swinging at deserted playgrounds.  

11.  And picking lilacs.  

12.  Eating a whole pack of oreos in two days makes me feel icky.  

13.  My whole room says (metaphorically):  Put a Bird On It!

14.  I need to buy lady clothes for my internship this summer that are sans ass/boobs—tricky.

15.  I can’t find my favorite sweatpants!  Oh noes!  

16.  I am lonely.

17.  I need to stop stress/bored eating.  I am getting fat and stomach-achy.

18.  Two words: hula hoops!

19.  My favorite flowers are peonies.  Pink ones.

20.  Sometimes I just want to go home and have my mommy stroke my hair.

21.  Coffee and cereal.  These are my morning plans.  Maybe a netflix queue item.

22.  I just want to have sex.  Is that too hard to ask?  (That’s what she said?)

23.  I am 23 years old and have absolutely no idea on how to be sexy.  Which totally explains the previous question.

24.  It’s already midnight!

25.  I am tired and out of charming facts.

Popular Health Supplements: The Scientific Evidence
The value of various dietary supplements is sometimes hard to evaluate, given the conflicting reports and misinformation often transmitted by the media and marketing departments.  Presented here is a rather brilliant infographic that visualises popular dietary supplements according to their tangible health benefits as supported by scientific evidence.
The image is presented as a “balloon race”, where the higher the bubble indicates the greater the scientific evidence for its effectiveness.  Importantly, the supplements are only effective for those conditions listed inside the bubble. Some supplements also appear in multiple bubbles as they have been shown to affect a range of conditions, but the evidence varies.
