Not Danny and Rhea! That's sad. I remember them from Taxi.

Gudanov, Gunnar is adorable.

Me, I have today off, so I went for a long run in the hills (during which I didn't walk or stop at all, so go me), and now I'm going to get my oil changed and buy groceries and linens. I love extra-long weekends: I ran 4 times in the last five days!

Today's run was sufficiently long that I lost .8lbs during it, according to my (not very accurate) scale.

AND I have brownies!

Hasn't he been drinking recently, though? Wasn't there a talk show where he showed up drunk?

I want a dog. Not possible right now, though.

Cute doggies, Gud!

Ever notice how any explanation longer than a sentence is dismissed impatiently by some people, as if they think once you've exceeded their attention span, you're just making up some elaborate excuse like you're in a wacky sitcom or you're seven?

for example every political debate.

There's your problem right there! Most significant issues cannot be summed up in a sentence.

Danny Devito and Rhea Perlman are separating.

Fuck! That's disappointing.

hivemind: in health insurance, does what I pay to meet my deductible count towards my out-of-pocket total?

Yes.

I have actually had a high enough dollar amount of medical expenditures this year (between chiropracting for my hips and my ridiculous dental saga) that I'm going to be able to take a deduction on my taxes. That has never happened before. Not even when I had freaking back surgery. (Although that was more likely a function of how good my insurance was back then, and how much it covered.)
