Concrete Jungle Where Dreams are Made

Sunday, August 1st, 2010

So I missed an anniversary of sorts last week. I moved to New York exactly one year ago last Monday. The only reason this occurred to me is that I was walking around the financial district the other day having one of those internal policy debates where I imagine how I would answer certain questions [...]

Summertime, And the Livin’ is Easy

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

As promised, the deets on my birthday are on facebook. Is it cool to say deets instead of details? Do I sound old? Is it true that you’re only as old as the last person you made out with? I feel like I’ve been on a bit of an emotional roller coaster this week. Had [...]

What?

Monday, March 8th, 2010

I’ve been a bad blogger. Luckily Spring Break is only a week away. If I sober up at any point, I’ll try to catch up on some blogging. I thought this video that is going around the internet today was really cute (even though I’m still not a fan of Taylor Swift):

12 for 12

Friday, February 12th, 2010

12th of the month. 12 photos. It’s an easy concept. The hard part is remembering to do it. 1. Test driving my new Motorola Droid today. Technically, this photo was taken on the 11th, but I’m sure you’ll forgive me. 2. Today is an interview day, so I got to put on my pretty suit. [...]

Snow Days

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

All of school was officially canceled yesterday. Late last night we got news that our Con Law professor didn’t think she could manage the commute today, so our only class of the day was also called off. I still have to be on campus for a couple meetings and to force myself into doing some [...]

Looking Back on the Week that Was

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

So obviously things have been a bit busy. I thought I ought to post a general update just so I don’t have two of Elle’s automated motivational posters in a row drawing attention to the whole week I’ve been ignoring my blog. So here’s what I’ve been up to in the last week or so: [...]

News and Stuff

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

It’s been a while since I did a news roundup, but here are a few things catching my attention this week. LDS leader Elder Dallin Oaks compared backlash against Mormon anti-queer politicking in California to the intimidation Blacks faced from anti-integration forces in the civil rights era. Ironically, he said this 11 years and one [...]

If you can’t say something nice…

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

… go pick on Josh. But if you can say something nice, please to enjoy this YouTube karaoke video I was dared to record: I guess this is one advantage to not having roommates (according to my RA, I won’t be getting any). Nobody will complain if I come back from the gym all sweaty [...]

Simply Mad

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

Apparently everyone is doing it (see also: many of my Twitter friends), so since it doesn’t take too much time or effort, here’s my Mad Men Yourself character: I wish they had a setting between underwear model and fatso in body type, but I guess this is close enough. My throat feels raw today. I [...]

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 [...]
