A somewhat groggy edition of By the Numbers:

1) So I finally got to see Boohbah, the latest in hip-import TV for the under-four crowd and (not incidentally) Nik's newest obsession. I am reasonably certain that the brainstorming session at the BBC went something like this: "Hey, I know! Let's remake Teletubbies, only this time, let's give the writers even more psilocybin mushrooms!"

2) Folks on my friends' list keep coming to Boston, which is firmly in the close-but-not-close-enough department. Albany, people! Albany! I don't care if there's nothing to do there!

3) I made my first-ever iTunes Music Store purchase last night. Ohhhhhhh, I am in such big, fat, quacking trouble now. Let it be known that there is such a thing as "way too convenient." (For the record: "Cynical Girl," by Marshall Crenshaw. I had a craving.)

4) Here's the thing about kids: even when one decides to go to bed at a reasonable hour for a change, one can be fairly certain that a good night's sleep will not be forthcoming anyway. Zzzzzz...

iTunes can be so damned addictive. I'm browsing around, minding my own business, and there's a Counting Crows/Vanessa Carleton cover of "Big Yellow Taxi." They might as well just reach into my pocket and take my money.

Oh, for Pete's sake, don't give them any ideas! It's bad enough as it is.

Boohbahs.

Actually, those crack-induced sparkly blobs were created by the same pink-haired old lady who dreamed up the Teletubbies - Ann Wood.

She should really lay off the drugs.

Oh, and for mindless fun - www.boohbah.com - there are no instructions, just move the mouse and click on random stuff.

Kinda like a train wreck, huh? You want to look away, but you just can't....

All I know is the Hudson Valley sucks.
