hehe... when is sundays blog going to be up :-(

close that parenthesis and start smiling, because here comes your sunday-edition of tiny damaged notions!

ok, so when i said pictures would be up today of me looking like this:
i lied.

see, i have no camera anymore since mine decided to break; but laura-reed's got one, so i'll post my metal-manliness soon, don't you worry!

matt-reed made a very interesting point about my boredumb laws and borderlines post:

i believe that the material girl referred to this "malawian" (sounds more like a brand than an ethnicity to me) child as an object because he is, in fact, a machine. robots! madonna may have been talking about beta-testing a future model of david banda V.9.12.05.

robots!

i bet it's true. madonna has always had a fascination with robotic culture. after all, check out this picture of her from the '89 cherish video shoot:
it's all making sense now. thanks for clearing that up, matt!

now onward towards news:

while waiting on line in the supermarket, a tabloid's headline caught my eye. it pertained to my celeb-crush, reese witherspoon,
who frequently daydreams of my sexiness. apparently, her and her husband ryan phillippe are getting a divorce. obviously, this means that if i get famous and play my cards right, i could be next in line.

so it's up to you reeds to use your 7-degrees-of-seperation from ms. witherspoon to get word out about me. perhaps after reading TDN, she'll find life without me an inconceivable disappointment.

i'm practically in!

according to xinhua news, a.k.a. the only news that matters:

Reese Witherspoon may pay dearly for her split from husband Ryan Phillippe, as the couple allegedly have no prenuptial agreement.
(xinhua, "http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2006-11/05/content_5291891.htm")

poor reese. first, she's not involved with me. then, she gets hit with this "no prenup" business. apparently since ryan makes less money than reese, her wallet's going to be the one that gets hit.

honestly, i don't know why one of the stars of 2006's chaos makes such little money:

(imdb, "http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0402910/")

the tagline sounds suspiciously like his current marital state. plus, it uses our old favorite misused punctuation mark: an ellipsis!

and check out that plot outline. "wait, there's a rookie cop and a 'grizzled vet' who are both pursuing a bank robber? in the same movie?!? i must be dreaming!"

and the headlined user comment--the one befitting of praise--is "much better than expected."

yeah, i don't know why he's making less money.
oh, right.

in other news, i just discovered this little tidbit of frowns:

Oversight of commercial fishing must be strengthened or there may eventually be no more seafood. That's the conclusion of a report in today's Science journal that predicts 90% of the fish and shellfish species that are hauled from the ocean to feed people worldwide may be gone by 2048.
(usa today, "http://www.usatoday.com/tech/science/discoveries/2006-11-02-overfishing-threat_x.htm")

this means i only have 42 years left to enjoy seafood! all you people involved with commercial fishing, fix this problem! i demand it.

the rest of you reeds: let's all go out for sushi.

that's all for today's TDN. everyone have a fantastarific sunday. and remember to do your part in helping fish exist more; primarily, by keeping them away from this guy:
