10:50am... Aside from my unabated excitement for the next Gossip Girl, the other thing on my mind is my thesis project. Project being an understatement for the hell, frustration, agonizing, and tediousness of the last year and a half. I've gone through the hoops, done my research, and finally...

"Men have breast tissue, too," said my doctor, a woman. And I got this little cyst or lump or something. So there I am today in Radiology, the only man in the waiting room. I don't know if the thing is benign or not, but the muzak they're playing is positively toxic. Hell, for me, would...
