You Do Realize Everyone Thinks You're Dylan McDermott, Right?

Things I learned today:
--In my biology lab I found out that I'm missing something called the "Alu element" from some particular point on my 16th chromosome. Luckily, that stretch of DNA doesn't do anything. The whole time I just kept thinking "Wouldn't it be more fun to test for the gay gene?"
--15 minutes of Level 15 on the stairmaster is all I can handle.
--Catherine Keener and Dermot Mulroney are divorcing. I personally think he's a bit of a jackass. A few years ago I was working in a building where Alexander Payne was casting the movie About Schmidt. We saw tons of annoying actor people come through there: Anne Heche, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Dave Matthews (yeah, marblemouth singer guy; he was completely lecherous, btw)... and the day Dermot came in Alexander came out into the hallway and said, "Hey! It's so great to meet you! I can't believe you're coming in to read!" Dermot threw him this nasty look and said, "I'm not reading." Oh yeah -- 'cause you're such a HUGE STAR that you don't need to audition anymore. Ppptttthhhh. Clearly he's to blame for this divorce. Oh, and also I used to work at a talent agency that repped him, and his agent was practically having a stroke over all the pressure he put on her to get him big movies. Uh... IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN, DERMOT.
