If you're a San Francisco-area* man who has sex with other men and have grumbled at my blood-donation humblebrags: There's a study going to confirm that the you-can't-give-blood policy is stupid; Go sign up.

I know you're supposed to take 15 minutes resting, but it took me that long to find all the frickin' raisins. Those things have something like kitchen-appliance camouflage, I swear.
