Nausea, indigestion...

I think it's funny when people have QWERTY keyboards on their phones because when they're texting they text furiously and with two hands. It's quite entertaining actually. They look so concentrated that they're unaware of their surroundings, it's kind of like they're in their own universe. What tops the cake is when you see them smiling or laughing to themselves while squinting at the tiny screen on their phone. Today as I was walking to the parking lot from the S buildings I saw two people texting furiously. The best part was they were walking towards each other. I knew what was coming and I probably could have prevented it but I chose not to because I had just finished a midterm and I thought that I deserved some entertainment. Of course they crashed into each other and it was awesome. I think everyone should start texting like that it'll make the world a better place.

My cousin has had stomach problems these past few days and is taking Pepto Bismol. The one thing that I've always wondered is why is it pink? Then of course after watching those Target commercials online you start to wonder (because while they tell you to ask their pharmacists, I'm pretty sure they don't want to answer such stupid questions). You never see medicine in different colors unless 1. it's those nasty liquid Tylenol kids medications or 2. you're high and everything has a different color. Well, Pepto Bismol is pink partly because of a chemical known as Bismuth Subsalicylate. This chemical compound (in its raw form) contains a light pink color. I guess as a marketing strategy, the Pepto Bismol company decided to enhance the pink color by adding red dye in order to make the color stand out, hence Pepto Bismol has been bright pink ever since. It worked. Everyone knows that Pepto Bismol is pink. They have some smart people working at those companies... In that case, I should invent the first rainbow colored aspirin tablet.
