I could write about my resolutions for the new year, which of course include the losing of weight, the quitting of bad habits, exercising more, rising earlier, studying harder, et cetera - or I could write about my primary resolution for 2009 from which all the rest flow.  This year I want to cut back on (or eliminate!) my fear habit.  We all have ( Read more... )

I'm pretty sure that my favorite movie quote of all time is from Tashan, which is incidentally one of the best movies ever made.  It's kind of like the Bollywood version of Con Air.  This movie seems to have a little bit of everything that makes a movie awesome.  But the best line ever is, "Dude, this is India.  There's a song for everything."

I just found out that my friend and mentor was interviewed by the New York Times about a decision which was handed down from the bankruptcy court last week.  I remember having breakfast with her last August after she'd been up half the night writing the brief.  We're working on an article on the same topic, but the New York Times piece has given me ( Read more... )

This has got to be in the top 5 of all-time fruitiest dances.  Evar.  Watch from 2:30 to 3:00.

It's much better on a big screen.  Spaghetti Epics have virtually no rival when it comes to kitschy campy cult films.  That's 100% MST3K quality!

In other news: tonight we watched some Will Farrell / Jon Heder cheese called Blades of Glory.  The ( Read more... )

It seems to me that folks are talking a lot of turkey about politics since, well, we just had an historic election.  And that is as it should be.  However, I keep on hearing the n-word and it's seriously beginning to piss me off.  People need to cool it with that.  How is using that word even remotely descriptive of a Harvard Law grad?  The dude ( ( Read more... )
