Matt says, in his Thoughts for the Week: iTunes is killing music. I love that you can find pretty much EVERYTHING you want, but track by track purchasing leads to too many shitty singles (”My Humps”! Fergie isn’t even HOT). While I admit to purchasing some real bad music (every heard of the rap group “Dirty”?), [...]

Remember when I joined blingo? I thought it was a “scam” or, at the very least, that I’d never win… but it gave me Google search results, so that was enough for me. But then something weird happened. I WON! Which made me feel like, you know, I didn’t do much different from normal and I got [...]

Matt pointed me to a post at Buffalo Wings & Vodka which almost caused me to bust out laughing in ConLaw today. A Brief Taxonomy of Classroom Participation Among my favorites: The Marvin I don’t know Marvin. I’ve never met Marvin. And I’m pretty sure that he doesn’t even go by the name Marvin. But [...]

Yes, I know. My site was down for the better part of the day (11:30am - 9:00pm, Eastern) but things appear to be back up. The fine folks at Hosting Matters were speedy (considering) in fixing the problem and they did so with a minimum of data loss. They also, as is their habit, communicated [...]

If you have not seen it and do not despise animated movies, I recommend it. Now, lots of people list the penguins as their favorite characters… simply not the case. [...]

Yesterday’s Practice Today’s Practice There are a lot of neat pictures in the group from today… like… Me getting owned by… someone taller than me and someone shorter [...]

Well, “Law Prom” (AKA Barristers Ball) is in three weeks. Some of the girls in our class are going a hair nuts. I mean… serweouswy you guys… look. Things like this are a little over the top (not that I don’t respect the balls it took, figuratively speaking, to actually post a list of names). [...]

Facebook, everyone’s favorite time sink, recently (?) added a new relationship status. This new status is “It’s Complicated.” Curious to see what sort of losers would actually put that in their facebook profiles, I did a little search. It returned the answer that “More than 500″ people at IU have “It’s Complicated” as their relationship [...]

I guess since I’m going to be watching movies on a regular basis, I might as well use them for posting fodder, yes? Good. I’m not going to be reviewing them or anything. Just posting about them. Or maybe I’ll review them. Shit, who knows. The Movie: Crash (2004) Ok, so tonight Rally’s gave me an extra [...]
