i'm up and i'm actually awake, and i think going back to sleep isn't going to be possible. alas. no one else is up this early. the people who live on the other side of the world and should be are at work or reading or some other equally unimportant task.

i re-did my windows colors with all the buttons a nice dark chocolate brown, and periwinkle and pale pink title bars. it sounds odd, but i am quite happy with it.

in other news, has anyone else noticed just how many songs about superman there are out lately? let's see, there's that new dave matthews one ('wherever you go' or something like that) with the chorus i am no superman, i am no hero--etc etc. then there's nickelback, 'hero,' ('they say that a hero could save us/ i'm not gonna stand here and wait') which i'm aware is from the spiderman soundtrack, yes, but still. then there's five for fighting, 'superman,' ('i'm more than a bird, i'm more than a plane')--have there always been songs like this at the rate of three a year, and i've just always missed them? if you go back a little further, there's krystal harris, 'supergirl,' and three doors down, 'kryptonite,' and... well, those came before smallville, so it's not much of a coincidence there, but still.

I think there have always been a lot of Superman references in American pop culture, and we're all just now picking up on them because of "Smallville". Remember the Spin Doctors' "Pocket Full Of Kryptonite"? And R.E.M.'s "I Am Superman"?
