New hairdryer acquired.
Also, broke recent fastest lap average in 18 months AGAIN tonight, beating the one earlier in the week by a full second. Felt the whole time like it was a kinda sluggish pace (fall mild congestion) but apparently not. I don't know why suddenly I'm headed back in the right direction, but I'll take it. Maybe I'll get back under a minute pace by the New Year?
Barnes and Noble for coffee and book browsing is pretty much always a good plan, i think.
It reduces incidence of genital warts by a big percentage, and genital warts are a bummer. Also reduced incidence of HPV-related oral cancers, and I would assume others as well.
Anal cancer as well--more common in gay men, but still.
I scoff at healthy eating. Instead, I will eat the blondies my roommate left on the counter. And wine. Because lo, I had a stressful yesterday and demand some chill. And if it takes minutes off my life, so be it.
Also....potatoes are totally whole grain! Uh, in y'know, the sense that you're not breaking them down into partial-potatoes? Eat the skin! Then you are consuming the whole thing, which is clearly healthy. Surely.
and *sigh* maintain a healthy weight.
I'm not just saying this as an excuse to stay a big fat panda, but -- the article I edited (about whole grains yay), did several multivariable analyses where they controlled for other factors, including BMI, and even the study participants with a high BMI still had a lower mortality risk from eating whole grains.
I'm not saying that to pimp whole grains; I'm just saying that there are other lifestyle factors that can mitigate being a big fat panda. It's nice to know that being fat isn't a hopeless death sentence.
Did y'all know that on How to Get Away With Murder, the guy playing skeevy Frank is Ben/Glory?!?! I did not know that!
He is? Huh. I would never have guessed.
Oh! Game seven of the world series, I think I'll have a beer.
Wait, are you saying there's a connection between Ben and Glory??
It's the beard.
And maybe the 13 years.
Eta: Jesse is very stoned. Frank is Glory.
