You should do this song. Hugs, me.

Yes I am insomniac, why'd you ask?

There's good, and there's emo. And there's emo disguised as good...

1. theuglyvolvo has a hilarious description of the difficulty of reading while rowing.
   
   
2. History repeats itself first as tragedy, second as farce, and the third time as a bizarre knockoff for kids.
   
   
3. For aficionados of doom, here's a good detailed analysis of how close Iran is to a nuclear weapon.
   
   
4. The Panopticon is now a reality in the Netherlands.
   
   
5. The Null Device points to yet another example of my Two Subcultures Rule, which is that any two subcultures must intersect at some point. In this case it's — wait for it — Goths and the Church of England.
   
   
6. Inevitably, the Internet has coughed up a Lego Tarot.
   
   
7. It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a publisher in possession of a popular writer must be in want of a book cover featuring Fabio and raised gold lettering.
   
   
8. There is a whale in Central London.
   
   
9. Jalopnik reports that the woman who posed naked on a car at the North American Auto Show may well have been drugged . Why is this not surprising? If it's true, I hope everyone goes to jail and/or Hell.

The warranty on my car just paid off big time. With 97,700 miles out of the 100,000 the warranty allows, I just had a really weird obscure electrical problem. It took them all week to fix, including taking the seat out of the car, replacing various parts and having that not fix it, calling the mothership, ordering a "multiplexer", and crying out in rage and despair to the uncaring Demiurge.

My cost? $50. This is only the second time in five years that anything broke on the car, so my total cost for non-consumables under warranty has been $100. On this repair I had to replace the rear vision mirror, which the warranty doesn't cover, so that and the interval service and the week-long electrical diagnostic ordeal cost me a total of $380.

I heart Acura.

ITEMS.

1. It isn't just dumbass bro dudes in big trucks who have dicksize wars. Tiny, tiny worms do it too. More interestingly, too.
   
   
2. I hit my head in the shower this afternoon. Just enough to make me swear and to give me a tiny bump and a sproinked neck muscle. Hm, I wonder if Brain Lady will notice if the bump is gone by Monday? She's gonna be mad if I tell her.
   
   
3. Toyota is puttin' the Camry in the NASCAR Nextel Cup. Okay, they already had the Tundra in Craftsman Series, but this is the CUP. With Camrys! Yee.. haw?
