[[MORE]]
So one of my biggest angsty fears in grad school was that I’d wake up at 40 and realize I’d gone terribly off course with my life and blah blah self indulgent mid-20’s etc. Thats’ a thing. That happens.
Then I got out of grad school in 2009, was horrified as it took me like 9 months to get a decent job, and one that...

So for the winter I have kept a pair of dress shoes at work, and a set of black socks. I do this so that in a pinch I can wear boots and whatnot, still have shoes here. I’ve kept that up this spring so that I can ride my bike to work.

wilwheaton:
Greg Ball, a state senator in New York, suggested Friday that authorities should “torture” the captured Boston bombing suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who is a naturalized American citizen and remains in serious condition at an area hospital.
