- I've been drinking too much alcohol in the evenings and drinking too much Diet Coke during the day. Diet Coke is starting to taste weird and I'm having trouble moderating my alcohol consumption. I'm going to go off aspartame and alcohol for 1 week and try to turn alcohol on again in moderation after a week. I think this will make me feel happier and give me more energy. If this were a controlled experiment, I wouldn't do both at the same time, but I'm pretty sure that drinking myself asleep and jolting myself awake is not very good for me. |

- J'ai vu il n'y a pas longtemps un reportage sur le rassemblement du Larzac. Je suis plutôt pour ce genre de rassemblement mais une intervention d'un anarchiste m'a fait bondir. Cet abruti revendiquait fiérement le fait d'avoir démonter le stand du parti socialiste. "José Bové a démonté un macdo, nous on demonte le stand du PS quand on voit ce qu'ils ont fait etc..." Est-ce que cet imbécile se rendait compte de la débilité de ses paroles. |
