Over the past three nights, I've gotten 5, 6, and 2 1/2 hours of sleep. In college, I'd have called that little phenomenon "Every Monday through Wednesday." Now, though, I'm pretty sure that if this keeps up I'll be dead by April.
I turn twenty-eight a week from Monday. I don't think I really believed that there was a difference between twenty-eight and twenty-two back when I was twenty-two. But Oh. My. God. I feel like there are gumbands around my wrists and ankles and every move is a little harder, stretches them a bit more, and at any given moment I might be snapped back the 13 miles into my bed. I know there's a class going on in front of me right now, and other people are participating in it, and I even know what it's called (Professional Responsibility). But that's all I know.
The main culprit is The Libel Show, which will have a much prettier website up in a week or two. I'm the music director, and it's fun and fabulous, and ensures that I don't start my reading (or more likely, watch TV or whatever other stupid stuff I feel like I have to do) until midnight or so. And then there's last night, where I was at a party until 2am, and then, despite being completely (well, undoubtedly legally) sober, decided that IMing until almost 4:30 was a good idea. The moral of this story: I'm some kind of superhuman genius freak who clearly deserves to be paid obscene amounts of money starting in six months or so. Clearly.
In other news, the Twins are playing baseball again and McCain is in the race. Both mundane and virtually meaningless formalities that portend much, much better things to come.

My One Millionth Post!
I didn't want the title to be a cliche about beginnings, and I couldn't think of anything better. So there you have it!
So this is my new blog. A while back, I had one with a friend, Mike. You can still see it here. The gimmick was that we were great friends from a long ways back, and he was liberal and I was conservative. It was actually pretty good for a while; you could find some funny, clever, original-ish stuff there, if you were willing to dig for a bit (but why would you?). I'm confident in saying that at one point, our readership hit at least the low teens. But then, we both became impossibly busy, and I became very much a moderate, which isn't nearly as entertaining. So it died. It's been dead for a good long time now.
But it was, in its time, a great way to waste time. And now Mike has started his own blog, here, and he's clearly wasted an enormous amount of time on it, and it reminded me of how great that was, the time wasting. And now that I'm a third-year law student in my second semester, I imagine I'll be looking to waste a lot of time over the next two months. And thus, I expect that I'll be wasting a great deal of that time right here.
This time I'm going gimmickless. I imagine I'll talk a lot about the last days of law school, and then a lot about the first days of lawyerliness. Every now and then I'll make up a word, like "lawyerliness," that doesn't even really fit the context in which I'm using it. I'll make numerous attempts at humor, and share a lot of things I find funny that I can't take any credit for. I'll talk a little bit--but roughly as little as possible--about news and politics and the like. My favorite topics at the other place were baseball and movies, and I expect there'll be a little of both of those too.
It's also possible that I'll completely neglect this and never do any of the above. Our futures are all a mystery, etc.
Just so you can see how dumb I truly do look, here's a picture of my beautiful wife and me at the Barrister's Ball a week ago:
FIN.
