“They Work You to Death.”

There is an adage about law school: “1L year, they scare you to death. 2L year, they work you to death. 3L year, they bore you to death.” Well, here I am at the start of 2L, and yes the work does seem to be a bit whelming, not yet overwhelming, but potentially so. […]

Advice on even more important matters

So Beamza goes to me tonight:
“Sometime in the upcoming quarter we need to Netflix some Law and Order or a show like that so I can get used to the police procedural and courtroom dialougue.”
Quick internet searches reveal that somewhere around 700 1 hour episodes of TV exists with the name Law and Order somewhere […]

Son of Berkowitz

OK, I need advice from you folks.
The upstairs neighbors have a dog. Unfortunately, the head of the household is on a trip to Vietnam, leaving the kids in charge. The kids are rarely home (or at least, I never see them, but then I have odd hours), and from what I […]

“3’s and 7’s” – Queens of the Stone Age

Shameful (re)-plug

Lemonjello has been pushing me to tell you all again about Break A Leg , an aspiring-to-be-on-TV show that’s funnier than … I dunno, the Lifetime Network? Shaggy? The inevitable darkness towards which we all tread one day at a time? But what I do know is that (a) Lemonjello is an extra in […]

Problem with “Greatest” lists

I was just reading a book review in the Atlantic that was on a huge coffee table book that chronicled the greatest examples of style in architecture and products. In the part where they talk about the natural quibles one has with a work like that they mention that the book tries to marry […]
