My favorite part of the Taylor Swift video is this (which I had never seen before, only heard dozens or hundreds of times before). Why? 1) "Hey isn't this eeee-zaaaaay", 2) the glasses make her look like Vicki Vale from the 1989 Tim Burton "Batman", and 3) the boy's floppy haircut probably comes from a style that was developed at Southern prep schools where boys weren't allowed to grow their hair below a certain point on their neck/ears, but no further restrictions on the length of the hair on the top of the head. It is privileged, but very slightly rebellious.

Have call scheduled with the hedge fund back home. Would be awesome and looking forward to it. Plus an apartment costs there like 75% less than what it does here. There's also a Swiss place I'm talking to, which would also be awesome - mostly for living in Switzerland would be super (low taxes!) - but it's a much bigger firm (ick) and there's less proprietary type of trading.

My best advice for preparing for interviews is something loud, fast and angry:
