Not Dead Yet

This blog isn't, that is. I'm hoping this will be more than a once-a-week thing, perhaps starting as early as this week.

So the Show was last week, and was everything I'd hoped and then some. I got to make fun of Packer fans and dress up as a gender-bending glam rocker. See?



Oah, jeeze, come on in dere!

The girl in the upper picture is the makeup artist who did this horrible thing to me. Anyway, it was amazingly fun. Tickets sold well, and the show went over well. I was up until 3:30-5 am every night, and still kind of waiting to recover. You'd never believe how many talented and, especially, incredibly funny people you can find at a law school (or at least at UVA Law School). I'm going to miss it terribly, but looking forward to sitting and watching the whole thing next year (assuming I can escape the office for a day or two).

This weekend is the annual UVA Law Softball Tournament. Some 100 teams from other law schools come out to UVA for a weekend every year to, essentially, live like a Virginia law student and get soundly beaten by a Virginia law softball team. This is the first year that I'm "playing" in the tournament; I'm on the least competitive of our six teams and probably won't play in the field much, but it's exciting to be a part of it. I'll hope to check in over the weekend with photos and amusing anecdotes (there are many from the Libel Show, but I'm not sure which I can/should share).

To that end, true story: just a few short minutes ago (hey, I type fast), I was in class and was lectured on the dangers of maintaining a blog and facebook profile, because employers and such can see them. Which is, of course, a perfectly valid point (and a hearty hello to Prof. Morris, if she's reading this). It's a little scary. But, horrifying stage makeup aside, I don't think there's anything particularly controversial (or even, frankly, anything all that interesting to anyone but me) about all of this. I trust you to let me know immediately if that ever changes.

Finally, one more very funny/interesting thing I've found that is probably common knowledge among the general web-obsessed public but is brand new to me: OverheardInNewYork.com (as well as its companion sites, overheard at the beach and office). It's fascinating, and updated with astounding frequency. Enjoy!
