This morning, to cheer myself up, I bought a lava lamp for $10 at a discount store. It's a little slow warming up, but when it finally gets to optimal temperature it's hypnotic. And gloriously pointless. So I encourage each and every person reading this (which these days, according to Sitemeter, is about two people) to go out and buy a lava lamp. Do it for your mental health. Do it because it's enjoyable watching globs of unidentifyable crap undulate in a glass container.
