The New York Times is trying to convince me to eat fewer-than-normal calories. They put up pictures of rhesus monkeys to prove the point. Frankly, the one that's supposed to be healthier (on the left) looks a little gaunt and a lot like famed economist John Kenneth Galbraith. He calls himself Canto and has a "nice coat, elastic skin, a smooth gait, upright posture and an energetic demeanor." Hate it when your skin gets all un-elastic-y. You know you're over the hill when...

In other news, L train service is "janky" because they're frequently testing a robot train. Can't wait for robot train. Puts us one step closer to Skynet and the triumph of machines. Let the rebellion begin.

But seriously? It does suck when you lose collagen in your skin. Pinch (lightly, duh) the skin on the back of your hand. When you let go, your skin just snaps back into normal, right? My dad is 63 and if you pull his skin up from his hand, it takes one, two three seconds to go back. You can literally SEE his skin, like cooling lava, trundle back into place. It is both hilarious and sad.
