Howdy istites. My name's Mike Dahmus, otherwise known all around various ratholes of the internet as M1EK, and I've been invited to write an honest-to-goodness post instead of a wimpy little comment. Normally, I crackplog ("crackplot blog") at my own place, M1EK's Bake-Sale of Bile, which is "Mostly Austin. Mostly Transportation. Mostly Bile.". I served on the city's Urban Transportation Commission from 2000 to 2005, before Daryl Slusher gave me the boot for being insufficiently slavish to Mike Krusee's plan to screw Austin's rail fans forever. I've been writing that crackplog since about 2003, starting in the run-up to the commuter rail disaster.

Ever since we developed a raging case of insomnia at age 12, we’ve been reading every night in a desperate attempt to lull ourselves to sleep. We’re book sluts, albeit snobby book sluts, and we don’t like to stop at second base. We learned our lesson with The Corrections, which was seemingly rudimentary until Franzen hit some elusive sweet spot and it exploded into sudden bliss. We stayed in bed for days ravaging that book. So we hung in there with Zadie Smith's latest book, On Beauty. A few more pages, twenty more, fifty more… but we just can’t fake it any longer. The imposing hardcover is still sitting on our nightstand - almost, but not quite finished - and we refuse to feel guilty about it.

We begin this week's recap with a few small corrections to the last one, which have been requested by umpteenzillion readers. First off, the person who appears in episode 2 in the big directors chair is John Pierson, not Paul Stekler. Stekler appears later on in the episode, and is the guy who is going to actually be helping the housemates film their documentary. Pierson is the guy who had to defend his relationship...
