Now I can just look at it as trying to keep his own fears of mortality and cancer at bay.

I also think some people approach it with the zeal of the recently converted -- eating only steamed palm fronds has made THEM so uber-healthy, surely it will make EVERYONE uber-healthy and never need drugs! (This is usually found in people with excellent genes who don't have chronic illness in their families.)

tommy, hope your boss's daughter is all right.

Turns out she was in a bike accident. They're checking her for a concussion --otherwise she's ok. She hit her head on the ground, destroying her helmet. So, you know, GO TEAM BIKE HELMET.

So, you know, GO TEAM BIKE HELMET.

So true. I have seen some seriously messed up helmets, including my own.

eta: Gotta love the people that eat super healthy and then ride their bikes without helmet or drive without seatbelts. That spinach isn't going to protect the noggin.

Timelies all!

I suppose the "Eat healthy and you'll never get sick" people also apply that to mental illnesses. Fuck 'em. (Yes, there have been shady things done by drug companies and doctors regarding prescription meds. Doesn't mean the meds don't work.)

Yuuuup.

I need a fun, dumb movie for tonight. Does Jeremy Renner's decorativeness make up for the failures of "Hansel and Gretel"?
