my not-so-temporary blog, i guess

reminder
Of a law review article I want to read, once I've got, like, a location and stuff. Michael Lewyn, Campaign of Sabotage: Big Government's War Against Public Transportation, 26 Columbia J. Envt'l L. 259 (2001). The author, btw, is a self-identified Jewish Republican, which only highlights to me how sprawl and public transportation shouldn't be the partisan issues that many make them out to be.
Speaking of public transportation, I just want to note that I have successfully survived a year in Memphis without ever learning how to drive. I had a lot of help from the dadmobile, though. But hey, it's harder to be a pedestrian in Memphis than a vegetarian. Especially when one has to live way out in the burbs (ugh) with the parents to save money. So. Here's my pat-on-the-back for myself. (Oh, and here's my best wishes to Kevin, too, who's going to try to live carless in Memphis next year.)
Man, I can't wait till I'm back in a walkable city again.
done
I'm done packing! Hurrah. Now it is off to Boston, to take that Japanese class and to hang out with old friends, walk around town, go to concerts, do all those things I didn't do much during my year of immobility.

ugh
There are people out to eliminate gossip? Here's to hoping they fail.
Just the links, ma'am
GAO May Take White House to Court in Energy Row. Yay, I have to say.

freedom
My god. It's only now starting to hit me that I'm not a law clerk anymore. Which means I can rage about how I hate the Bush administration. Which means I can rant about what courts are doing on certain types of cases.
If only I didn't need to spend so much time packing.
Soon, I tell myself, I will write stuff soon.
whew
The final episode of Murder in Small Town X was tonight. Finally, that embarassing episode of my television-watching life is over.
ugh
My stuff. It's like it never ends. How the hell did I accumulate so many papers in just a year? What to save, what to keep, how to organize? Ugh.

moving
I hate packing. I really hate packing. This is all I've been doing and will continue to be doing for days. That, and sending out "here's how you can contact me" email, which, for once in my life, is relatively indeterminate.
Handmade cards for everyone, once I get a postal address. Promise.
