It’s Only Money

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

We haven’t started yet and I already wish law school had an easy button. Sadly, I don’t think a trip to Staples will actually solve anything. My tuition bill from Fordham says my federal Stafford loans have been approved and applied to my account. My guarantor says my loans have been approved. But then I [...]

Green Frosting Stains

Monday, July 20th, 2009

We had a surprise birthday party for my roommate Jacob last night. This is the birthday cake: And this is the extra cake for having a cake fight: Here is Jennifer holding the birthday cake as we sing: Here is our friend Sam getting splattered in the cake fight (note that most people have fled [...]

Mascot Contest Challenge 3 – Character & Symbolism

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

Welcome back to the third challenge in our Great Blind Prophecy Mascot Contest. Sorry it’s been so long in coming. Technical delays and the upcoming move to New York have made it difficult to get everything together, but the awesome guest judges made it worth the wait! As the contest builds, competition is getting more [...]

Needz to LOL

Friday, July 17th, 2009

One of the tricks to staying sane(ish) during a time of stress is to find ways to make yourself laugh. With that in mind, here are a few links that had me laughing this week: The Awl’s White House Flickr Feed commentary by Ana Marie Cox and Jason Linkin. Go back and look at the [...]

If I Were Being Confirmed

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Like all of you, I’m sure, I’ve been mostly unable to tear myself away from the Sotomayor confirmation hearings over the last three days. I have learned many fascinating things. Primarily, I have learned that Republican Senators are cranky, ridiculous, privileged, old, white men with less awareness of minority concerns and tone appropriateness than a [...]

Marry, F*ck or Kill

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Wait, it’s already Wednesday again? Shit. Time flies when you’re having fun packing. Even though I probably won’t see it until after the move, we’ll celebrate the new Harry Potter movie with this week’s game. Choice 1 Choice 2 Choice 3 Tom Felton – Draco Malfoy Daniel Radcliffe – Harry Potter Rupert Grint – Ron [...]

My Favorite Bag

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

So, in my packing fun, I have to share with you my favorite bag: Why is this my favorite bag? No, not because it’s a great gym bag (though it is). No, not because it has a trendy Nike logo. No, not because it has comfortable shoulder strap. It’s my favorite bag because it’s one [...]

To Pass the Time

Monday, July 13th, 2009

I’m really excited about the special guest judges coming up on the next installment of the mascot contest. We’re 90% ready, so expect it soon. I’m still waiting to get the results from one judge and finishing up one last photo shoot. In the meantime, here’s a fun (language NSFW) video starring triple-threat and Buffy [...]

Pieces of Paper

Friday, July 10th, 2009

I have two questions for you, but first I present the evidence. Exhibit A: Concert, museum, event, attraction, and ride tickets dating back to 2002 Exhibit B: Movie stubs dating back to 2006 Exhibit C: Subway/transit passes from four cities dating back to 2006 Question 1: Evidence of obsessive hoarding or an endearing collection of [...]

Marry, F*ck or Kill

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

This week’s game is focused on television news personalities. Choice 1 Choice 2 Choice 3 Anderson Cooper – CNN’s silver fox, never officially “out” but barely “in the closet” and a Vanderbilt. It’s great fun to watch him squirm alongside Kathy Griffin for New Year’s Eve and despite “knowing nothing about sports” his arms fill [...]
