Helping me not be so nutters
I have customized my Google homepage to show links and articles from various websites. There are three columns. The left column lists: TV Recaps from EW, a search box for Wikipedia (which I always forget is there and just go straight to Wiki), the local weather forecast, and my bookmarks at Del.icio.us (which I also never use, but it's a techno-hipster thing). The middle column lists: Reuters "Oddly Enough" news, Top News Stories, and new stuff from Homestar Runner. The right column lists: Articles from "Psychology Today", top "DIGG"s, ZDNet News, and CNET News.
So which one do I click through on the most? (Well, besides the TV recaps 'cause you know I'm a TV freak, right?) The "Psychology Today" links. The articles are short and facinating. I used to get a magazine called "Going Bonkers." It was a type of "Reader's Digest" for the psychology industry - you know, it reprinted interesting articles from other publications. Just a couple of years after I found it (and became addicted to it), it completely changed to a magazine for pet owners. Tawhabbawho? I have no idea what caused the format shift, but it has never been a good magazine since. In fact, I think it has been out of print for a while now.
Anyway, today I finally decided that I click through enough on this website that I may as well check out the real magazine. I ordered a subscription. I could probably have just tried to bum them off of P. June, but it was less than $16 for a year's worth of magazines (they're bi-monthly). So I can't wait to get my first issue and tell you all what's wrong with me, I mean, you, I mean, them ... those people.

I stopped reading those magazines when they come in to the office. For a while it was really interesting - but then I started convincing myself that everything was wrong with me.
There such a thing as TOO much psycho-analyzing!
Plus, my current doc doesn't get any of the good ones.
