I'm happily up late Hypo-ing.
Normally I don’t work well at night, but lately I’ve been more productive as the night drags on. I think working at night like this is providing a sense of urgency, which can be motivating in small bursts.
The laundromat is a great place to get work done.
It’s also apparently a good place to meet young, attractive, Italian massage therapists.
So I just heard that there’s this show where a detective and his math genius brother solve crimes using high-level mathematical theories. I can’t believe that this is real!! This is the “Wickerman” of television.

I don’t know why, but I have a yen for diner food right now.
Now that Apple’s foreign language input system is actually worth a damn, I have been writing Chinese letters non stop. The timing could not be worse!

I admit it: I am a C-Span fan. To be clear, I’m only talking about C-Span 3, not C-Spans 1 & 2. C-Spans 1 & 2 have sold out. It’s all flash with them now; too many bells and whistles. They have forgotten what it means to be a C-Span.
