Meet Alli.
Alli is the very first
over the counter diet drug to ever gain FDA approval. (Alli is a lower-dose of the prescription diet drug
Xenical.) It just hit store shelves a short time ago. I saw it at the grocery store yesterday, in fact.
Alli works by blocking your body’s ability to absorb roughly 25% of the fat that you consume. Sounds normal so far, right? Well check out these super-awesome side effects:
- gas with oily spotting
- loose stools
- more frequent stools that may be hard to control
That fat needs to go somewhere, right? If you take Alli you can expect it to dribble out of your butt uncontrollably.
Here’s some helpful advice from MyAlli.com that I swear I didn’t make up. They refer to side effects as “treatment effects”:
“Pick a day to begin taking alli, such as a weekend day so you can stay close to home if you experience a treatment effect.”
“While no one likes experiencing treatment effects, they might help you think twice about eating questionable fat content.”
“Until you have a sense of any treatment effects, it’s probably a smart idea to wear dark pants, and bring a change of clothes with you to work.”
Diet and exercise take the fun out of living. Someone needs to make a magic diet pill that doesn’t cause anal leakage!

Since January 2005 I’ve been using this little gem of a phone. A Sony Ericsson T637:
It’s been a fun two and a half years and I’ve got no complaints. But I’m moving on! For three reasons.
First of all, the power connector has started flaking out and needs some wiggling before it’ll charge the phone. Secondly, being in Europe for two weeks made me jealous – everyone over there has such neato GSM phones! And finally – I realized my one year contract ended a looong time ago and I’m entitled to something better!
So today I ordered a Sony Ericsson W810i:
It looks similar to the old phone, but everything I’ve read has said the W810i
cranks it up to 11 so I’m excited to see how my life will improve once it arrives. It was $0.01 at Amazon (with contract) but unlocking and unbranding it with the [included!] data cable will increase its value within minutes!
iPhone shmyphone! I like buttons.

I’m back!
I was on a two-week tour of Greece. It ended with a seven-day Aegean cruise through some Greek islands and parts of Turkey.
I’m pretty exhausted. It’s 2pm here, but my body thinks it’s midnight.
I might post some photos later.
In other news, some friends of mine from high school made a viral video for a Nintendo contest. I’m seeing it linked all over the place today. Don’t miss it, Punch Out fans! (I know Little Mac and Bald Bull!)
edit: Punch Out is now the #1 featured video on YouTube. It’s right there on the front page! Sweet.
