It's Sunday morning, and I've been awake since 4:30. I went to bed at 12:30. Why I am awake and can't go back to sleep is beyond me. The rest of my day is going to be so screwed up because of this.

So Walmart's been locking its workers in at night. See the New York Times article here. I read something about this over a year ago-- maybe on the NYT site--and nobody believed me when I mentioned it. Everybody scoffed at the outrageousness of the idea, telling me I must have misunderstood something. Guess not.

In other news, this is absolutely ludicrous: Subway has introduced low carb wraps. Luckily for them, they aren't touting them as healthy (bacon? cheese? how could they not be healthy??), but they are touting them as "Atkins friendly," and the implication is clear: get your 500-calorie, low-carb wrap, and be healthy! Healthy and insanely obese. I wish I remembered specifically what I learned last spring in one of my Psych classes about the Atkins diet. The gist of it was that the Atkins diet is crap, and anybody who understands the way the body metabolizes and uses energy should understand this. Unfortunately, I don't remember anymore detail than, "Atkins = crap," which isn't an especially scientific or convincing analysis. At any rate, I keep seeing commercials for these wraps, and each time I want to yell at my TV, "Are you fucking kidding me??"
