Boston's two games back in the AL East, which surprises me a little. I hadn't been following closely, but judging by the last few games I'd seen, I'd have figured that by now they'd be four or five back, at least. They're 3 games out of wild card contention, though, meaning they'd be more likely to win the AL East than to beat out the ChiSox for ( Read more... )

By the bullets...

• It's baffling to me why people think that the thing to do when you become single involuntarily is to minimize the relationship and demonize the other person. She was a bitch? I chose her. We weren't going anywhere? Then I wouldn't have hung on. Insulting my taste and suggesting I wasted my time isn't exactly the highway to ( Read more... )

Sabres are tied 2-2 in the Stanley Cup semis, against the Carolina Hurricanes. Last night's was a particularly frustrating game because the Sabres are missing a lot of their core defensemen, and as a result we have guys on defense who are playing, well, like college players. That's not a bad thing, but having one of our strengths yoinked midway ( Read more... )

Confidential to ESPN: Listen, I like horse racing. I do. But women's softball is on the Deuce, the Angels are playing untelevised, and anyone who follows the early races on Derby Day is at a simulcast location. So can I please see Guerrero DHing and Tim Salmon in the field for some reason ( Read more... )

So, it's been an interesting couple of weeks.

Those of you who may have been following - which, I guess, would just be strikinglyalert, since I don't think any other Dozo types read the LJ - may have been slightly surprised that the SBA presidential election was won by a bright, easily-flustered woman rather than a large, bearded and easy-to-get-along-with man.

I just received the following criticism of the Hobbies & Interests section of my resume:

you're incredibly boring. it's like somebody who's listing things they think people would want them to be interested in, but these things really are the things you do in your spare time.(For the record, I'm aware of the problems with a H&I section, but it's ( Read more... )

Lately, I keep getting these absolutely mindbending headaches. Of course, when I worried aloud about a brain tumor, it was overheard by a friend of mine whose brother does have a brain tumor. Ah, the joys of having to appear sensitive ( Read more... )

Well, this isn't something I'm looking forward to. This evening, my buddy Josh and I are going to be teaching a lesson at The Door. Generally I get very excited about that, like last week when Sarah H. and I did the general Supreme Court lesson, or the week before when we did the "What's a Constitution?" lesson. This one, however, was spurred on by ( Read more... )

Thank the lord, blessed be Mordecai, et cetera. I finally finished the note I've been writing for the Public Law, Policy and Ethics Journal. Not to get too snoozeworthy, but it deals with Doe v. Mann, 415 F.3d 1038 (9th. Cir. 2005), an August 2005 case that dealt with two pieces of federal Indian legislation, with the result that they're both ( Read more... )
