For the last few weeks I have been in the clutches of "This American Life." I've been listening through their favorite shows page on the web and I had one episode left - one! - before I was free to pursue other interests. And they revamped the page today! And added a dozen new stories! And dammit, I need to listen to them all now. I am a slave to NPR. When you find yourself longing for menial tasks at work that will give you an excuse to listen to NPR while you work, you know you're in trouble.
