I don't understand how insurance repricing works. I got a bill for around $800 from the doctor today. Okay, not surprising, he's a specialist. What was surprising is how far down insurance reduced it: $180. That's to $180, not by $180. And most of my bills are like that. Either health care is obscenely overpriced and only people with good insurance are getting anything remotely approaching a fair price, or my doctor is going to go bankrupt.
It's probably the former.
I saw 300 tonight. It was, in a word, badass. If you took pure badass, and let it ferment for a while, and distilled it into celluloid, and then wrote on it with a brush made of awesome it would still not be as badass as 300 was. I can kind of see how people could see it as slightly racist, or as a right-wing power fantasy, but I don't think it's something most movie-goers either wouldn't pick up on, or wouldn't care out. Perhaps they should...but oh well. THIS! IS! SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
So, webcomics. What makes webcomics so awesome? Probably the fact that they're unbound by syndication rules and most of them don't make any money, despite what their writers might want. Anyway, I just know that webcomics have raised the bar high enough that most of the comics in the paper are unfunny trash to me currently. I've found some--like Zombie Hunters--that are great, but which would never make it in a normal newspaper.
I've been thinking about making one, but I can't draw worth crap. I might be better at it than keeping a on writing a story. Speaking of, I need to finish my NaNo...
