Doug has a new blog…

I guess Backwards Romance is back up. This is more a note for him than anyone else. It’s been down long enough I figured he’d check my blog before he checked his.

Ummmmm. . . I just found out that your blog is going to be down for awhile.

This is an actual sign somewhere in Midtown Manhattan. . . I almost pissed myself, I was laughing so hard. The photo is on Satan’s Laundromat (you are gonna have to scroll down the page).

On another note, it seems Mike of Satan’s Laundromat is friends with JCA over at Sua Sponte a blawg I read often, and found independently. Weird.

Apparently this happens when you decide to “drunken blog”, and this, and this. . . oh and this. And finally this. . .

I noticed that I haven’t had the burning desire to post here during the past few days. Then I realized why. I am working on my first real writing assignment for school and its totally got me tuckered out. I hate that. Same thing happens with reading. I have to read so much for school that I find I don’t even want to pick up a newspaper. I used to read the Washington Post, New York Times and the Wall Street Journal when I was working (I refuse to link to the WSJ because they charge for all of their content). I need to figure out how to get my brain to understand that this is good writing, and that newspapers, fiction and poetry are good reading. It’s like breaking up with a woman, your brain automatically tries to protect you by convincing you that all woman are bad, when in fact only some are.

So. . . I did some blog research today. Seems that there a million of these “law student blogs” out there. They even have a name. . . “blawgs.” Nice to hear other people’s stories. I particularly enjoyed Sua Sponte. An interesting issue seems to be the anonymity vs. full disclosure debate. I actually began this blog, anonymously, after having a non-anonymous blog for the last several months. I can’t figure out where I stand on the whole issue. I guess I’ll just feel it out as the year goes on.
