blueblanketblogmy not-so-temporary blog, i guess friday, december 21There are dopplegangers all over the city this week -- all over, I say. I've met JWW, who looks an awful lot like Ed's brother Tony, only with Ed's height. I saw someone who looked just like (well, a bit pudgier) DJL at the Black Cat, dancing like a madman. And this guy DT, he looks like a hybrid of JCC and XS, with mellower mannerisms leaning more towards XS. It is uncanny. And those are only the examples I can think of in my (usual) sleep-deprived state. I know I saw tons more. Do people just not look all that different here? Is that it? .: 12:24 PM .:thursday, december 20Oops, I was wrong. Still no time. Email over the weekend, maybe. .: 2:17 PM .:Finished my brief, had a really random, but nice, night. Had a fun night last night as well. Will be replying to a lot of email (aka "admin other") tomorrow. .: 12:23 AM .:wednesday, december 19This was actually pretty much what I'd expected after the Supreme Court came out with Alexander v. Sandoval, where the Court held that there was no private action in another civil rights case. Still, it sucks. When the New Jersey plaintiffs, the South Camden Citizens in Action, won at the district court level, it was a big environmental justice triumph. I'm now officially bummed today. .: 10:29 AM .:tuesday, december 18A guide to fake meats, courtesy of Dahlia Lithwick. Though there are much better ones out there than the ones she reviews. For instance, there's the great stuff you find in Chinese groceries (vegetarian pork fu, anyone?). And quorn, which isn't sold in the states yet. For someone who's not a vegetarian, I sure do spend a lot of time keeping up with fake meats. .: 11:20 AM .:monday, december 17Richard L. Revesz, Federalism and Environmental Regulation: A Public Choice Analysis, 115 HARV. L. REV. 553 Christine Jolls, Antidiscrimination and Accommodation, 115 HARV. L. REV. 642 John Leubsdorf, The Structure of Judicial Opinions, 86 MINN. L. REV. 447 David I. Gold, I Know You're the Government's Lawyer, But Are You My Lawyer Too? An Exploration of the Federal-Native American Trust Relationship and Conflicts of Interest, 19 BUFF. PUB. INTEREST L.J. 1 Vol. 42 of the South Texas Law Review has all this juicy stuff about law professors, Vol. 7 of Legal Theory is dedicated to vagueness, and the legal interpretation thereof, and Volume 53 of the Florida Law Review seems dedicated to evolutionary paradigms and the law. .: 10:08 AM .:sunday, december 16Still in a good mood, despite being in a work deadline crunch. Lots of one-on-one hanging out, which is really what I'd rather be doing. Dinner with Ed last Thursday (talking about how we stayed mellow in law school, and running separately into various section 3 1Ls and also Wendy Williams), drinks with Lily last night (complaining about the state of fashion in DC, as well as the absence of cute people to ogle, at least within our immediate realm of acquaintances). We'll see how long this good mood lasts. As long as I can avoid big parties, I'll bet. .: 3:40 PM .:W.G. Sebald just died in a car accident. Sure, I wasn't a fan of his, but I am a mourner of lost literary authors. .: 12:38 PM .:Gun sales are up, apparently because people think that guns will help protect them from terrorism. Stupid and annoying. .: 12:36 PM .: |
