100% Energy!

I saw on a can of Rockstar energy drink a claim that it was "50% juice, 100% energy." I was wondering how it could be made up of 150% of anything. Also, the 100% energy bothered me...I mean, it looked like it had some mass...I think we've got a case of false advertising on our hands here.

Kitten

Yesterday, I walked into Karen's office & she had a cute little kitten in there. She asked if I knew anyone who wanted one and I replied that Sarah would love one. I called her and she confirmed that she wonts for a cat. Karen took it home, gave it a bath and some other grooming stuff (flea medicine and the like). Sarah picked it up today and is enjoying Watson (double helix, y'all) thoroughly.

Watson is a very friendly, skinny little kitten. He's curious and sweet and doesn't scratch people and he's funny and can entertain himself. Sarah said that she showed him the litter box once and he has used it exclusively as a depository to evacuate his excrement. I like him. Maybe a pic coming soon.

Not So Fat

I was under the impression that I am fatter now (in terms of body composition) than I was a year ago. I went in today to participate as a guinea pig in an exercise physiology study and they found that I'm now 7.1% body fat whereas I was 7.4% a year ago. I also found out that I burn fat almost exclusively when I'm at rest. Now that I know my composition, I don't have to worry about being a fat body any more (I thought I'd be up around 8.5-9% right now).

If you want to participate in this study, you just have to be able to run for an hour. Contact Jacob at jmw06x[at]fsu.edu to set up a session.

Sleep is the Best Caffeine

I've been using caffeine on Tuesdays and Thursdays to get me through my first couple classes. I am taking an energy drink during the first class. I don't think it's a good idea to continue relying on drugs to get you through, but I figure that it can't be too bad for me to shock my system twice a week as long as I don't keep it up indefinitely.

I don't drink it if I'm functional enough to not need it. This usually happens on nights after I get a lot of sleep. I think that sleep is way better than caffeine for producing an alert mind and responsive body. It's just that sleep's a lot harder to get than paying a couple $$$ for a stimulant.

I've tried a few different energy drinks and my favorite is by far Rockstar's Guava flavor. It comes in a purple can. You should try it if you're so inclined.
