As pointed out by kalliopeia: a very interesting comparison of Clinton and Obama's work in the Senate. Because I really needed any more reasons to support Obama.

In other news, I'm very proud of myself right now. I was craving greasy Chinese food for lunch like whoa, but forced myself to remember that I had, in fact, packed myself a salad to eat, so I reluctantly grabbed it out of the office fridge. Making salads? Is not something I do. Ever. I've been grudgingly teaching myself to eat them more often, because when I'm buying at least one meal a day from the food court near work, I really need to choose the healthier options or I'll gain back every pound I've managed to lose over the past few months and then some. And then I got sick of paying $6 or more for a single damn salad, so I decided to make my own at home this morning and pack it.

SO GOOD. I don't know how on earth I managed that, given how poorly stocked my fridge tends to be these days. Lettuce, carrots, turkey cold cuts, and low-cal Honey Dijon dressing -- and the secret weapon. Blueberries. I've been eating them on my breakfast cereal for the past couple of days, which is tasty, but they totally transform a boring salad into pure awesomeness. That was a damn good lunch right there. And I've got some edamame to snack on this afternoon. For dinner, alas, I do have to brave the fast food options on my way to rehearsal, but I've gotten pretty adept at picking out the healthier choices.

If you'd told me a year ago what my eating habits would be right now, I'd have laughed myself sick.

Dominic Monaghan's gonna be in the Wolverine movie.

WHAT.

Okay, so we already have Ian McKellen in both LOTR and X-Men universes, it's true. But this BLOWS MY MIND.

DOM! AS AN X-MAN! Well, not technically, but Marvelverse mutant, at least.
