My throat's starting to hurt again--it's the stupid sinus drainage plus the flip-flop weather, is what it is. I did get a refill of my Wellbutrin today, so I should be on the road to normalizing that now. I'm tired, though. Fine--just tired. So not much from me today.

I can't decide whether to put all entertainment news on dailydigestnews, or just movie news. So the TV/music stuff is here today.

Nyxem Worm Programmed to Erase Files.

Investigator: U.S. 'Outsourced' Torture. I am outraged that hundreds of jobs have been taken away from hard-working American torturers!

WB, UPN to join together and form ~~giant robot~~ new network, CW.

'Lost' Stars Get Massive Salary Increase.

West Poses As Jesus for Rolling Stone. With picture.

Kevin Federline jams to "PopoZao." "What do you get when you mix a giant douchebag, a recording studio, and the worst single ever released by a human being? The funniest fucking thing you'll see today. You haven't lived until you've seen Kevin Federline bobbing his head and tripping out to his own pathetic single. Well maybe you have, but everything up until now has just been practice for this."

Oh, bail-jumping, mother-assaulting, alias-shuffling, writer-defrauding literary agent, you so crazy!

The most awesome text-adventure game ever. With bonus political hilarity!

I forsee the production quality of the show, straining under the finance of paying 17 (20? 75?) regular cast members, plummeting.

Mark my words, next season the caves are going to be made of red and brown Play Doh. The boars will just be stuffed pigs they wiggle on poles with a crewman going "oink! oink!" The smoke monster is going to look like I Dream of Jeannie. The Others will all be played by Zeke, only dressed in different clothes and using different voices. The Drama Rain will be issued from a garden hose.

It is thus we anticipate the declining condition of Man.

Using one guy in different suits is actually a well-known film practice known in the "biz" as Shemping. (http://www.dragonsdenuk.com/articles/left_for_dead2.htm) It is an honorable profession, with a long and proud tradition.

It is also how Ted Raimi wound up with more onscreen time than Bruce Campbell in most of the Evil Dead movies and "Xena, Bruce Campbell's Best Guest-Starring Role."
