Blogging will be light as a feather and stiff as a board over the next 108 hours as I run the gauntlet of major comprehensive exams. Do attend, however, to the following in the interim:
(1) Alex Massie has refined his template with bladelike precision. If only Snatch had looked as cleanly comprehensible as this....
(2) The Sude has the goods on one of the Yale Mafia's diadems, an outfit I'd been meaning to shower pomocon praiseupon -- Iqra'i, not to be confused with Iraqi, which, as far as I can tell, means "Deserve that Yale Man" in Zarathustran.
(3) In other Suderman-related news, you must listen to this dramatic rendition of a certain lapse into Gonzo Journalism I was powerless to prevent. An instant classic.
(4) Dan McCarthy has refined his template, too. As has John Savage, while I'm on it.
(5) Finally, the New York Times reveals that shrinks' office furniture affects their patients. So, y'know, when you freak out under that weird Sword of Damocles hanging overhead or recoil from those Bantu Phalli, it's all part of the show. Extra weirdness: home psychologists. Try brushing up against the wife's butt or the family dog in an awkward hallway while trying to make your way to some sort of interim holding pattern. No wonder we just clench the jaw and demand the meds.
See you 'round the Ides.
Good luck with exams.
