It's been a long time since I've uploaded a new song to mp3.com. Partly this is because I haven't been working on music much since law school started. Now that it's summer and I have some time to actually do... more
Twas quite a warm day today. Luckily, I have air conditioning both at work and at home, so I only had to deal with the heat for my walk to and from the distant orange line. On the way home... more
Ethan Mascoop, a local housing conditions expert gave a talk today about some of the common housing-related health concerns around Boston. From flies to mold, he said he doubts that many apartments in the area actually meet the housing code... more
Some people enjoy shopping. Some even consider it a hobby. I find it burdensome. I don't want to have to go around and look at ugly clothes and wonder if they'll fit in and if they'll fit me and if... more
Most of my evening was wasted fixing my website, which I apparently screwed up on Sunday afternoon by pressing the wrong button. D-oh! Well I *think* it's fixed now. Apparently some scientists figured out the "true color of space", then... more
Still no word on our new roommate. Where are you new roommate? I really don't understand these window-type A/C units. I finally got around to "installing" mine because the morning heat disrupted my weekend slumber. This things weighs about 60... more

Weekends are glorious. I've made full use of this weekend, barbecueing, exploring, cooking, reading, and working on some updates for lawschooldiscussion.org. Not a second has been wasted. Life is so good when you have no obligations.... more
Still spreading the 'haps of Park Drive... check out my mattress picture on streetmattress.com. Now that baseball season is in full swing (I think it's in full swing, but I wouldn't really know), the streets in the Fenway tend to... more
Those present at lunch today agreed that they fall in and out of love several times a day on the T. I would probably agree if I hadn't lately been taking the orange line exclusively. I can vouch for the... more
I finally got around to checking my Fall 2002 schedule today. The idea is to sign up for as many classes as possible (six) and then drop whatever you don't want. Otherwise you don't get any alternatives if for some... more
Today I finished reading Suburban Nation: The Rise of Sprawl and the Decline of the American Dream today. I’ve been reading this book for ages because, well, law school gets in the way of things. For some reason, sprawl is... more
Just got back from an amazing Ben Folds show. May Ben Folds live forever. About two years ago I was getting interested in the south-eastern U.S. I read Noodling for Catfish and Eric Martin's Luck (I tend not to read... more
