The difference between “remembering something differently” and calling your accuser a liar
Senator Al Franken is resigning. Sen. Franken is doing this not because he actually things he’s done anything that warrants forcing his resignation, but because he is bowing to political pressure. He has said flat-out that some of the things he is accuse of did not happen. Other things (in particular, the initial accusation against […]

How To Read A Letter From Your Lawyer
November 15, 2017
Here is the letter I just drafted to a client (redacted to remove private details of course): Dear Mr. Dude: This is to inform you that the Gotham City Court has continued your hearing in this matter to NEW BAT DATE at SAME BAT TIME. I was able to convince the Court not to issue […]
Doubt, a review
February 22, 2017
Okay, so thanks to Laverne Cox’s most recent appearance on the Daily Show last week, I went and checked out her new show, Doubt, which premiered on CBS last week. I was stoked. Laverne Cox is in a new show!!! It was mildly annoying that the show is on CBS, because it means going to their website to […]
Not quite annual update
January 24, 2017
NOTE: I drafted this post 21 days ago, and I could have sworn I published it. I have said it before, and I’ll say it again: I’m a bad blogger. Nonetheless, here is an annual rehash and update. I last posted in March, about my frustration with coming up with money for surgery. Time heals […]

How to Live Happily Ever After
January 24, 2017
I have been binge-watching Once Upon A Time. I had started watching the show when it first aired, but lost track midway through the first season. SPOILER ALERT: In-depth analysis follows. I am currently in the second half of Season Three. There are some themes that have cropped up that I find very troubling. In Once, […]
Between a Rock and a Hard Place
March 3, 2016
One of my favorite blogs, Neutrois Nonsense, has been featuring various guest bloggers and re-posts about something that has been in the back of my mind for years now and, with reading the series of blog posts, is pretty much at the front of my mind lately: chest reconstruction surgery.

I Still Want to Get Rid of All My Stuff–Part Deux
March 1, 2016
A while back, I ranted about wanting to get rid of stuff. Since that rant, we have moved from our three bedroom house to a four bedroom house with slightly more square footage but slightly less living and storage space (but one more toilet!) and one person–my brother-in-law–has moved out (of state) with his new […]
How the Religious Right is driving towards the demise of the traditional definition of marriage in the common law
June 30, 2015
As the whole world has probably found out by now (at lease everyone who cares), last Friday the Supreme Court of the United States legalized same-sex marriage across the board in the United States with their landmark decision in Obergefell v.

Zombie Blog
April 22, 2015
It has been a ridiculously long time since I posted to this blog. I still frequent WordPress, mostly to read and comment on other peoples’ blogs. With the transition from “law student” to “frantically job-seeking new graduate studying for the bar exam,” I’ve decided there is no better time to revive my blog. I am […]
