Insert open mind joke into this hole in my head. Please.

Tonight I was talking to nickjb about my problems finding non-insane commentary on neurofeedback, etc. and we got onto the topic of failed therapies. One of these is trepanation, otherwise known as making a hole in your skull. Ancient people did this, and sometimes survived it. Sometimes they probably even felt better.

Nick explained that there was a sixties thing where people started saying trepanation was hip and happening and it was touted for a while, and I didn't really believe him. Color me wrong. Color me also slightly nauseous (green).

Ladies and gentlemen, I present the International Trepanation Advocacy Group. Don't skip intro. The spacy Heavens Gate-quality film is worth a few minutes. One side effecdt of trepanation has already been identified: smooth jazz and trippy 3D rendered animation.

I know I'm mining a rich vein when their short film credits the Mutter Museum and the State Department of Health of Nuevo Leon, Mexico.

"Some of us are willing to present ourselves publicly so that the old stigma associated with making a hole in the skull will be worn down over time."

I for one welcome our new cliché catch phrase overlords.

1. odradak especially and fans of good animation and Piaf will enjoy A quoi ça sert l'amour, a lovely animation of the song. It's pure romance in the very best way. Thanks, Exploding Aardvark!
   
   
2. Looks like it's "Neuroscience Deals with Religion" week for all of us, as the Dalai Lama arrives to speak at a neuroscience conference and some people feel that's not such a great idea. I'm with the asshole scientists and not the lamafans here. (Thanks again, Exploding Aardvark!)
   
   
3. And now, your moment of ostrich (SFGate via tuliphead)
   
   
4. SONIC PROPERTIES OF GENETICALLY MODIFIED POTATOES. Yeah, that's what i said.
   
   
5. Screenshots of a new MMORPG called. um. Yogurting.
   
   
6. VW has built the EcoRacer, a mid-engined sports car with a 0-60 of 6.3 seconds, top speed of 143 mph, and an average fuel economy of 83 miles per gallon. Runs on a 1.5 liter diesel engine. Why can't I preorder one now?
   
   
7. "Trained Wasps" sounds more like a plot device for a horror movie than a way to find bombs.
   
   
8. trinnit sends me this really bad day at the tollboth.
   
   
9. In other criminal justice news, this guy would have been better off as a Dale Earnhardt fan.

And now off to the phrenologist.

Fourth neurofeedback session. I didn't do too well on the left side. This may be at least partly because I had to deal with sociopathic drivers on the way, including Mr. Gridlock who kept me from doing a left on Newport from 19th. I did have the great pleasure of seeing the Angel of the Lord in the person of the Costa Mesa PD catch him doing this and pull him over.

The right side went a lot better, and she seemed to think I was "looking good" in terms of various sine waves I don't understand well. It's pretty exhausting work, although it doesn't seem so at the time. Afterwards I need to be a zombie for a while, so I go to D's. I could go to Alta which is right across the street, but I don't.

At D's post phrenology. Sitting next to A. at the bar, who is sitting next to a talkative hottie. I assume he's warming up to give her the pitch, although she's mentioned her boyfriend three times.

She's a charming and intelligent egotist. I think I'm getting better at filtering egotists even when they're cute, because after going back and forth with her a few times I decided not to keep going with the conversation; there's no win here.
