Let's Go, O's!
It has been a long time, so I'm just enjoying the fact that the Orioles have made the playoffs. I want them to spank that pinstriped team because I always want that but it'd be even nicer in the ALDS.

Holy moly, I've been blogging for seven years! October 6, 2005 was my inaugural post. I didn't know what I was going to do with my LJ (I still don't) and it has gone through several phases.

Today's happy thought: when putting away my summer clothes and breaking out the fall/winter clothes, I found two pairs of pants that I forgot I owned, squirreled away because they were in good condition but were too tight to wear. And now they fit.
Meh thought: clothing sizes are schizophrenic. I tried on four different pairs of pants that are ostensibly the same size (at least, according to the labels inside); two fit easily, one was tight, and the other came nowhere near even zipping.
The gym last week was alright. I rode the stationary bike and tried the treadmill and elliptical. I feel like a frog in a blender when I try to add in the arm part of the bike and elliptical, just . Did some upper body reps on Friday -- such a weakling! Could feel it Saturday.

A few interesting articles at The Economist:
- the value of MBAs and changing enrollment patterns in Europe (very interesting to me, since MBA & JD seemed to be the delaying tactic of a lot of people in 2008 when the job market tanked)
- the genetics of political outlook and behavior
- Is "whom" history?
Other articles of interest:
- At BBC.co.uk: Why Palestinians are attached to Barca and El Clasico
- At the Awl: A Chat with Fran Lebowitz
