Just when I was beginning to lose hope...(aka Deep Thoughts for Monday)

Hope of blogging, that is; no serious existential quandry going on here. It's just that I checked this blog last night and thought, holy shit! I haven't updated since Wednesday?! And then, you know, I started to feel pressure to write something but I didn't have a topic off-hand and I really don't operate well like that. I'm more of a go-with-the-flow kind of blogger. I was so beside myself I couldn't actually remember why I was so pissed off about overpopulation. Dark times.

But then, like a light from above, I got an e-mail from Kathryn, my much-cited college roommate who doesn't have a Blogger profile and therefore can't post comments here (although it'd be really interesting to see which Beatle she turned out to be). She sent me an article so now I can appear to be both on-top-of-things and also deeply intelligent, even though it's Monday and the three people I've e-mailed already this morning can attest I'm kind of bored with life right now. Thank you, Kathryn!! Also, I hope classes went (are going?) well today and no matter what those other chemistry people are like, none are as cool as you because none of them supply O.P. factoids. Take that, bitches! And what the hell do you have against shorts?

Anyway, yes. Yahoo News had a thought-provoking article on the alternatives to CFC's and how they are actually no better in the overall scheme of things than the chemicals they replaced. Ergo, Deep Thoughts for Monday. I would discuss it more, but the writer of the article did a good job of summing up the entire issue and also I spent so much time writing about Kathryn sending me the article that I don't really have time because have to go back to work now.
