My life is very, very point form right now. Nellie’s down at the new condo painting while I clean up the mess that has become our old place and write a paper for my class. We were up at 6-something this morning to pick up the car (from Autoshare) and drive to home depot, so the only thing keeping me awake right now is a steady Diet Pepsi drip.

Meanwhile, I have these for you:

• $12 Ryanair flights from New York to London? Incredible, when you realize $12 wouldn’t even get you from Times Square to Canal Street in a cab.
• Bill Maher asks Salon readers to embrace their inner liberal elitist.
• If you care to hear the final Rheostatics show CBC Radio 3 is streaming it all. Still, after my initial listen, I’d recommend Double Live if you want the classic Rheos live experience.

OK, back to work.
