I just did my federal taxes in five minutes, once I really got started (because I have one job, no dependents, no assets, etc.) and it looks like I'm getting a shitload of money back. Which makes me think I've made a mistake somewhere, but could also explain why my financial guy was suprised at how little I'm taking home. So maybe I made the mistake on my W-9 or whatever that is. I'm going to leave it to tomorrow and check again.

I think it's great that Devi is committed to the health plan. When you get cooperation between the caretaker and the patient, the outcomes are more positive, studies (completely unsurprisingly) reveal.

Random shit gets stuck in my head when my sister throws out of context paragraphs at me for editing.

Speaking of sis and throwing, she just sent me the *longest* email (goes off to count...813) about the M/M storyline on Days, and it's because she's really impressed. I'd seen their sex scene, and I thought it was weird because it was very focussed above the shoulders, but apparently it's now achieved a great deal of parity with the straight relationships, so that's really cool.

Ahahaha! That's one way of looking at it.

This is a wild story: [link]

The show I was just watching had a M/M handjob played for way less laughs than I would have guessed. It was comedic, but more that they were discovered than that they were doing it [spoiler for Legit] (one character was helping a paraplegic masturbate for his Skype GF).

In prime time I can think of potential for three gay couples, and one is a guess--there is opportunity for one on Glee I figure (dunno, never watched it), and there's one on Modern Family and a gay regular on Scandal. Revenge has a bisexual male character--anything else that might lead a regular or recurring character to have M/M relations? Even just a demonstrative relationship, not just asking about sex.

How did I not process there was a character on Scandal called James Novak? Wow, it's like I watch it asleep.

Wait, what?

Evening activity at Chez Zmayhem: Listening to Neil Gaiman read The Graveyard Book on the TV. (via Plex, via iTunes)

Wait, what?

Journalist. Jimmy Novak. Married to Cyrus? Normally Novak sets off my Castiel filters loud enough. How they managed to get to James and I didn't register anything, I don't even know. I do wonder how they came up with the name, there are the same reputed origins as SPN.

Oh, him. I kind of tune that character out so I never picked up on his name. But you'd think that would have caught my ear.

I'm constantly getting LinkedIn friend requests from authors whom I've edited one paper for. I don't actually know you, dude, and may never work with you again; why would I add you to my professional contacts?

Glad Devi is cooperating!
