Knifecrime Island Is Your Grandmother

Today in A Study Has Found: The average Briton complains for 8 minutes and 46 seconds each day. What about? "The most common daily gripes are how expensive things are, followed by the lack of anything decent to watch on TV, the weather, household chores, our finances and the Government." I don't see knife crime on the list, but I'm sure it's there somewhere.

And Now, the 84th Reason I Hate Adderall

Basically all my friends take Adderall. It's sort of fine? I mean, it's not like all of them are on the heroin or something. And as far as I can gather, most of the effects of The Ivy Speed, as I like to call it, are internal-by which I mean, I can't always tell! I wouldn't know. (Though I can tell when you're writing on Adderall, yes I can. That is reason #52 why I hate it. All that focusing really does something to your syntax. Something bad!)

When Is The Internet Going To Be Free?

Remember when there was going to be Internet in the air all around us?

I have been walking around the area of NYU Village north of SoHo (Large Italy?) for an hour trying to get some free WiFi and now I have apparently paid 1.5 Euros for some Internet because this is actually Sweden or something.
