Can Function Drinks Make You Smarter, Thinner, and Less Hungover? — New York Magazine:

The “enhanced water” section of the beverage industry has grown enormously since Hughes started toying with N-acetylcysteine in his kitchen. Function competes not just with Vitaminwater (whose parent company was purchased by Coca-Cola for $4.1 billion last year) but with SoBe Life Water and Propel (both owned by PepsiCo), Snapple Antioxidant Water, 24C Vitamin Enhanced Water, Vitamin+Fiber Water, H2Om (which “infuses” its water with positive words and music)—and maybe soon, Placenta 10000, a Japanese product that contains elements of swine afterbirth that are said to stave off wrinkles.

…aaand i’m back.

hello friends, family and stalkers, sorry i’ve been out for so long, it’s been a crazy year. i got a job that i love, my roommate died, i got kicked out of my apartment, lost 10 pounds, found a new apartment, bought my first television (37″ LCD), gained 20 pounds, surprised my brother in columbus on his 30th birthday, briefly dated a girl 10 years younger than me, bought my first video game console (ps3), found a racquetball partner who promptly moved to china, visited montreal and deflowered my passport, went to my grandmother’s funeral, and got a raise at my job that i love.

so… it’s been a hell of a year. it certainly would have been nice to have had a record of my thoughts during that time. i have meant to pick this blog up again often, but i simply never did. that i do now has nothing to do with the (near) anniversary of the last time i posted here, but i have honestly been a little bored with my life lately. so if i’m going to do nothing, then i have time to write. however, i also believe that writing regularly will get me out and doing things.

anyway. it’s good to be back.

i will also return to updating my personal blog, quarterfull.com. so check that out.
