Must get torrents to work. It’s like my one remaining happy thing in life. How else am I gonna get my gossip girl & HIMYM fix?
I download supreme court oral arguments and listen to them…for fun. Law school has effectively destroyed my ability to speak with girls.

Yeah, that was a 788 point drop. So much for the whole “at least it wasn’t worse than 777” comment…

$90 a barrel! At least gas is cheaper. Granted, my investments are wiped out & I can’t afford gas…but at least it’s not $4/gallon anymore
Spent this weekend embracing DC all over again. Fun desserts at Café Saint Ex with funner drinks, a thoroughly enjoyable and energetic concert at the Black Cat (Say Hi, Junior League, and Jukebox the Ghost). Best music I’ve ever heard? Maybe not, but it was fun. And sometimes that’s exactly what one needs.
Stood next to a gentlemen in a tie die shirt of the non-ironic variety. I still...
FWD: Guy next to me
FWD: Guy next to me is in a tiedie tshirt. do not think he’s trying to be ironic at all
Ah, DC. You’ve been missed, my dear city. You remind me of that girlfriend that I broke up with a long time ago. Whenever I see her again, I remember the good times: the kissing, the laughs, the pancakes we’d make after great morning sex…
And then a homeless man calls me a cracker, your goose tonics are ridiculously overpriced, everyone is dressed the same, and I remember why...
Sneezing and with a runny nose at the library.
Everyone hates me….Damn allergies.
So much ConLaw reading to do today. Which is to say nothing of actually trying to make sense of it all.
Because in McCain/Palin world, nuances apparently don’t matter.
My gosh, I dislike her. Biden’s pulling his punches, but she refuses to answer questions.
Did Palin just ask if she can call him Joe?
Am hoping Sen. Biden totally rocks it tonight. OBAMA/BIDEN 2008!!
Listening me some Die Zauberflote. So beautiful.

Apparently he’s from DC. Go, DC!
And btw, *I* give a fuck about an Oxford Comma. It makes sense for it to be there because it’s consistent, it clears up ambiguities, and it looks neat.
(Ed. “neat” as in precise not as in “cool” or “neato”.)
Dear Law School,
Thanks for destroying any and all notions of believing in myself, and for teaching me that if I’m not in the top 10% then I may as well give up in trying to find a job.
I don’t want to run your rat race, and I’m fighting against it as much as I possibly can…but here we are, aren’t we?
