We have a new record. I first saw the Gap's "Love Train" commercial a mere 16 hours ago. Its saturation airing has already rewired my subconscious to change the channel whenever that wretched song comes on.

I don't know if I could live in my demographic were it not for Tivo....

Hunting a Deadly Soviet Legacy (washingtonpost.com)
"TBILISI, Georgia -- In the 1970s, scientists in the former Soviet Union developed scores of powerful radioactive devices and dispatched them to the countryside for a project known cryptically as Gamma Kolos, or "Gamma Ears." Its purpose: to deliberately expose plants to radiation and measure the effects."

All right, New York Times, listen up. I am going to speak using the simple, direct language normally reserved for the J&R ad on the back page of the Arts and Leisure section. I WANT MY CROSSWORD, AND I WANT IT NOW!

This is the third time in a month that the premium-crossword section isn't accessible right when the Sunday puzzle is released. I've been trying for two hours to get through. It's just not a wild-and-crazy Saturday night without the crossword.

Why, yes, I am unhealthily obsessed. Why do you ask?
