I am swamped at work. It's probably a good thing, because it is forcing me to concentrate on something other than my applications and pending rejections. There is some activity in the interview realm - a couple of schools have expressed interest in me, so I am holding my breath, waiting for the chance.
Now, on to a totally off-topic nugget: There was an interesting article in the New York Times today: The Secret Lives of Just About Everybody. Fascinating. Here's the link, but you may need a subscription/sign in to access it: click here. It's a discussion on the affects of leading a double life on one's mental health. It covers those individuals who lead a second life online, as well as the hidden lives of closted gays and lesbians. The film, Closer, covers this as well, in a disturbing and dark look at relationships. (Confession: I saw it because I lust after Natalie Portman.) If you enjoy those films that spotlight the cruel emotional games people play, and ever find yourself wondering if you really do know someone as well as you think you do, both the article and the film are worth a gander.
