My favorite news this week:

Chewing gum may cause extreme, undesired weightloss.

Vending machines in LA now dispense medical marijuana! From USA Today:

“ This is how the AVMs — Anytime Vending Machines — work:
• Customers bring their prescriptions for approval at the AVMs, housed in enclosed room guarded 24/7.
• They are fingerprinted and photographed.
• They receive a pre-paid credit carded loaded with their individual profiles.
• They choose their dosage (3.5 grams or 7 grams) and one of five strains of marijuana.
• The marijuana is in capsule form and dispensed in vacuum-sealed packages.
• They can buy no more than 1 ounce a week.


Anticipated future vending: Viagra, Vicodin, Propecia and anti-depressants. (Seriously.)"

LOST starts up again tomorrow night. Girls night with pizza and beer, and 8 episodes (instead of 16 because of the writer’s strike) to last me through the winter.


I'm getting excited to go to Chicago this weekend to see Hot Water Music! I'll be sure to post pictures of this momentous occasion.
