Tales of my life as told by me.
The Queers (somewhere in Boston / Cambridge) – I enjoyed this show because it was, well, outside of my comfort zone. And, it made me functionally deaf for 48 hours. I’ve never heard an old man scream so loudly. Is it sacrilegious in a punk-rockish kind of way to say that about Joe Queer? Jenny Lewis […]
Update 2009: It cuts off.
Twitter is the “funnest” website I’ve found in months. It is an update service based entirely on the question, “What are you doing right now?” You can send updates via IM, text message, and of course from the web.
Oh, Twitter is what I use to update the Yugflog.com homepage and the content on the top of the sidebar to the right. This is all working towards what I hope will be a virtual data feed of all my communication.
Let me know if you join!
Yesterday, I sat in a Contracts review session from noon to 7pm and took 20 pages of notes.
Today, I sat in a Civil Procedure review session from 9am to 4:30pm and took 22 pages of notes.
I imagine that yesterday and today are what going to a conference would be like as an actual lawyer, except the conference would only be one shorter day and it would be followed by two days of skiing or golfing and a tax write-off.
Instructional self-help books I could write by drawing on my childhood experiences:
Like any normal 25 year old boy-man, I sing loudly in the shower. Here are some of the lyrics I’ve recently come up with:
Song #1 – Untitled
When you come and when you go, I will always know because you are not a stealth plane.
Song #2 is also untitled and is a duet.
Do you like me?
Yes I like you. Liking you is a feeling that is affirmed everyday.

I won the U.S. Open in my dream last night, and with the satisfaction of beating the top golfers in the world came a $1,111,202.02 check. But, they gave me a standard check and a small trophy, and told me that the real trophy wasn’t ready. I didn’t really care, but looking back this should have tipped me off that I was dreaming. There’s no way they wouldn’t have the trophy ready.
Still, the dream was my best ever.
