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.
