Things I am doing instead of cleaning my apartment today
- Posting this list online for the benefit of the approximately 3 readers of my crappy blog.
- Reading about Carriage Return and Line Feed characters in plaintext files. Nodding my head knowingly, since this, sadly, reminds me of my time in Iraq as Your Company's Computer Guy. I spent a full 12 hour shift once trying to figure out why my text file wasn't working with a specific program.
- Taking this really long quiz to find out that no, I'm not an Austrian, but that I'm still surprisingly sympathetic to the Chicago School.
- Reading MLK's Letter from Birmingham Jail, as I do every year.
- Thinking about phone banking for Coakley, since health care reform sorta hinges on tomorrow's very close special election. Deciding against it because I'm lazy. I mean, I haven't even put on a shirt or my contacts yet, and it's 1pm.
- Reading through the archives of Buffalo Wings & Vodka and wondering whether it's making me want to go to law school more or making me not want to go at all.
- Going through law school spam, wondering if my numbers really are so terrible that only 4th tier schools are emailing me. The answer, of course, is yes, my numbers really are that terrible. And my googling reveals that indeed, some 4th tier schools are desperate for applicants.
- Going through my throwaway email address, finding out that the President of the United States and his staff have been spamming me for months about health care reform.
- Spending about 30 minutes looking for the post where Tyler Cowen observed the optimal lists tend not to have nice round numbers. I didn't find it. But I did spend half an hour not cleaning up this mess around me, or washing the sink full of dishes.
