What? I’m not crying, it’ just… it’s dusty in here. Leave me alone.
What she said.

This David Brooks (self-proclaimed moderate-conservative) op-ed reminded me of the above video. His piece in the NY Times today, titled The ESPN Man, says this about Obama:
“Normally, presidents look weak during periods of economic stagnation, overwhelmed by events. But Obama has displayed a kind of ESPN masculinity: postfeminist in his values, but also thoroughly traditional in style — hypercompetitive, restrained, not given to self-doubt, rarely self-indulgent. Administrations are undone by scandal and moments when they look pathetic, but this administration, guarded in all things, has rarely had those moments.”
…
“I’d say that Obama is a slight underdog this year: the scuffling economy will grind away at voters. But his leadership style is keeping him afloat. He has defined a version of manliness that is postboomer in policy but preboomer in manners and reticence.”
A common thought I have while in my office is, “How did I get in here?” or, “Why am I being entrusted with this?” Whether it’s doing legal research with no law degree, or giving informational interviews to Harvard Law grads, I often feel in over my head. I keep thinking I’m going to wake up one day and just be a normal girl from Ohio again. I must be imagining all of this, because it can’t be my real life.
It brings me back to this Mark Twain quote I like so much: “Truth is stranger than fiction, because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities. Truth isn’t.”

—Just one of many absurd/hilarious, out-of-context quotes in my office today after Obama’s gay marriage announcement.
—Sara, while standing in front of the mirror, and after a prolonged discussion on how to grow shiny hair, concludes with this existential thought on doing our hair.
In his new book, the veteran food writer Peter Kaminsky writes that by maximizing flavor, you can satisfy your food cravings with smaller portions.
Quoted:
When forms of protein materialized, he nodded approvingly. “I would do the fish station,” he said. “There’s a salumi station, which is not on most diets. Those are things that will be flavorful and will satisfy you. I think a plate of charcuterie is fine. Fat is not the enemy. Sugar is the enemy.”
I could not agree more with this - I eat WAY more fat than any USDA guidelines or fad diets would advise - I would say “fat” is my favorite thing to eat! Olive oil, almonds, avocados, eggs, prosciutto… fat is delicious and not “bad” - refined sugar is really what we should be cutting out! I also love the explanation that eating needs to be spontaneous and flavor needs to be packed in to every calorie. Hence my philosophy about fat. It’s also why I eat the freshest vegetables possible and mix a variety of flavors into a dish. I am what many would call a “healthy eater,” but eating for me is in no way boring; it’s an adventure, and one of the greatest pleasures in my daily life!
