The Ugly Truth About Beauty: ...[Doctors] have used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology to look at the activity in men's brains when they were shown pictures of beautiful women's faces. Breiter and his colleagues found that the same part of the brain lights up as when a hungry person sees food, or a gambler eyes cash, or a drug addict sees a fix. Essentially, beauty and addiction trigger the same areas in the brain. God bless genetics! (And according to the article, women are just as bad.)
First week of school done and I'm psyched for more. While playing DDR barefoot between classes, something I've done numerous times before without any problems, a callous under my left big toe cracked open during a song and oozed blood all over the platform. Neither I nor the arcade manager was very happy (though I think for different reasons) and I have since decided not to play DDR barefoot again. Matt and I saw S1M0NE tonight and we both thought it was very good. There was one image in particular within the first ten minutes that struck me as incredibly powerful; so as not to potentially spoil it for anyone, ask me about it if you care and I'll be glad to tell you which.
