Under the Ryan plan, seniors would end up paying something close to 45% of their premiums out of pocket in a few years' time (I have the exact numbers in some project somewhere in my computer, but meh). How is THAT sustainable? That will just increase uncompensated care and increase critical care conditions, both of…

Oh my sweet jesus, it was worse than I thought. Oh god. But the person at Topless Robot does a pretty great job ... handling the material. I might need, like, some boring financial news and a chaste hug before I'm ready to read about Thomas the Tank Engine plowing someone (something?).

And now I'm reading fanfic about Alvin and the Chimpmunks. Alvin, Simon, Theodore, doo, doo, doo doo doo doo!

Jen gave her baby to Jack, and he raised her along with his partner, and Pacey's brother, Doug. Pacey dated Andy, the crazy one who sees dead people, and Audrey, Joey's roommate at Worthington. Yep, watched the whole damn series.

I really like Diane Kruger, too, and they seem so damn happy with each other. BUT. If a Pacey and Joey reunion happened, I wouldn't be mad. I just went back and rewatched Dawson's Creek from the beginning, and I felt very differently about it than I did when I was 16. I used to be Joey and Dawson all the way, but this…

Yeah. Like, fame would not be my primary motivator for hitting it with Phelps. It would be that crazy stupid hot body, and the fact that we all know what he's packing.

You know who's helped rehabilitate Phelps' image? Ryan Lochte. Every time Lochte opens his mouth and Phelps keeps his shut, Phelps shines in comparison. He should send Ryan Lochte a gift basket. Plus, I was under the impression that Phelps just wanted to smoke pot and be left alone for a while, rather than being…

I love how it conveniently leaves the boys out of its punishment scheme.

I'd had a really, freakishly terrible run that morning, but as soon as I watched that race, I wanted to get right back outside and run more. It was a beautiful race.

It makes Ke$ha sound like Mozart.

With all due respect to this Abby person, no on does forensic science inspiration like Temperance Brennan. Sadly, I'm too late to the career game (and too inept at science) to jump into that field now. But I would totally steal her Wonder Woman Halloween costume, so there's that.

I really don't want to bother you, but I'm a huge fan.

Totally second this recommendation. I saw that TAL in theaters and that was the first time I'd been exposed to her, and I was amazed. She's hilarious.

Ding ding ding.

My b, yo, my b. You may very well be one of those people whose life plans work out perfectly. I've just seen those plans change much more often than I've seen them actually happen, because life does that. As far as planning for a pregnancy in a decade, as everyone has said, eat healthy and whatnot. You don't need to…

True. I am nowhere near where I thought I would be, or who I would be with, at 22. But you don't have the perspective to know that then.

Ditto. I'm only 28, and 22 still seems like a lifetime ago. This can't be serious, right?

I just love that she came out and said it. There are so many more diplomatic (and ambiguous) ways to say "sleeping around," and yet, Mama Lochte chose that phrase.

I'm a small Asian man who pole vaults! I guess it's my height?

Grey's Anatomy is still on? For real? Damn.
