1st Senate debate this evening at 7pm. Pay attention, this may be your last chance for a long time: Kerry could live another 25 years.

One cannot will oneself to be clear-headed and energetic. This is particularly agonizing on a beautiful, clear autumn sunday.

Another 2 projects postponed indefinitely because the losing bidder appealed. Whenever this happens it takes months to get sorted out, and meanwhile, no work gets done. It's astonishing how hard it is for the government to spend money, even if they have it. I think it's getting worse, in my little corner of the vast machinery, anyway: it's becoming more acceptable to appeal a lost bid.

Being coached is stressful! I just had my first badminton group lesson, and wow, I was doing almost everything imaginable wrong... I just need to write it down so I'll have it tomorrow: shake hands grip, loose, use thumb on the backhand, on clears at the net, don't rush to hit it, let it drop, do a loop on the forehand, on dropshot from the back of the court, focus on the tape, hit it full outstretched. Overhead shots: hit it out in front of you, step into it, use your upper arm, not your shoulder, lead with your wrist, pronate your wrist instead of shifting your grip, two steps to anywhere on the court,start with my right foot, and leave it behind, hit everything off the left foot don't watch the shot, just get back. I think I could see it helping by the end of the hour, particularly the hitting off the left foot, and the loose grip. The footwork I think will help with me knee.
I think it's a pity I allowed my profound lack of athleticism kept me from doing any sports in school. I now have sufficient self confidence that I'm not so bothered by being the worst person in the room. I'm still bothered, but it's bearable. Well, but also, there wasn't really a culture of recreational sports in school, and certainly none in my family.

The best explanation I've found of why refining Iran's uranium for them is a positive development, and why they have a nuclear reactor in the first place.

Recent experience suggests that I'm better off watching a random movie on TCM than watching a film from my netflix queue. This suggests that my perception of my taste is very poorly aligned with what I will actually enjoy.

Sometimes I'm a bit slow. I just realized that there is a huge overlap between evangelical atheists and objectivists. Or, if not overlap, at least a similar misunderstanding about the world; the sheeple fallacy, I guess you could call it. Mistaking belief and class for sense.
