I'm awake and I don't know why, but Van is too, he keeps me company

Just finished reading the new Harry Potter book, cried through the last 2 chapters, I'M A NERD! Turned on VH1, what's up with Tommy Lee's new song? I kinda used to respect him. Then new Nine Inch Nails, very cool video. The music sounds like Mario music, maybe just because I've heard that ridiculous version of "Closer" dubbed over Mario music? The new song's called "only," I think I'm the pointland guy in the book Flatland. I don't really think that. Can't find the book right now or I'd quote it. I'll just have to quote it later, it really does no justice to paraphrase. Read the book if you haven't, it's probably the best dystopian book I've read. Short and succinct, and unique of the rest of the genre. History: The book was written in the late 1800's and deals primarily with dimensions, so a huge point that was left out (because the idea was not yet in existance) is the concept that time is a fourth dimension. However, the book does assume that dimensions exist beyond three, and the introduction uses and strangely circular logic based on this assumption. The entire book is written from the perspective of A. Square, who is, surprisingly, a square. He lives in a 2-dimensional society called Flatland, where citizens are revered for the number and evenness of their sides. He is visited by a sphere from "Spaceland" (3-dimensions), who takes him to view "Lineland" (1-dimension) and "Pointland" (zero dimensions), as well as Spaceland. Anyway, it's a hardcore nerd book, but an interesting read if you can think moderately abstractly.

Bah, I'll quote it sometime, it's hilarious, BEDTIME.
