I wasn’t really going to post anything about the strife in Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, and the Middle East. I mean, everything I have opined on the matter is on my Twitter timeline. I’m actually at the top of my Twitter game when there’s a revolution going on. During the Egyptian revolution, an NPR editor or [...]

Better World Books is my absolute favorite online book retailer
Posted in Better Read Than Dead on February 24, 2011 | 1 Comment »
BetterWorldBooks is, far and away, my favorite online retailer. I love these guys. Whenever I can, I buy my casebooks and supplements from them, and all of my non-lawschool books come from them. They ship super quickly and have great prices, but the best part is that a portion of the proceeds go to fund [...]
I Can’t Believe It Took Me So Long To Read This Autobiography
Posted in Coffee, Tea, Me on February 23, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass My rating: 4 of 5 stars This isn’t exactly a fun read. It’s not something that will lift your spirits and put you in a fabulous, animated mood. Instead, it’s heavy, it’s grave, it’s heart-wrenching, it’s fascinating, and it’s compelling to the end. The writing [...]
Good Job, Facebook.

I love this. :) I’m glad that Facebook added this option under “Relationship.” It makes me happy but also reminds me of just how much work there is left to do until marriage inequality is finally done away with. Alexis is one of my law school (Twitter) friends, and I really doubt she’ll mind that [...]
Oh, Shut the Hell Up, Gwyneth Paltrow

Obscenely rich women are, generally speaking, ridiculous. It’s like the more money you get, the bigger a waste of skin you become. Gwyneth Paltrow is showing us just how ridiculous she can be, when she tells us in her newest Goopy Goop Goop newsletter that we should buy our children designer clothes that are not [...]
Business Casual Superstar #370: When Less Is More
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, tagged General on February 18, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Occasionally I just find that dress that is PERFECT all on its own. It’s simple, elegant, modest enough for work, and doesn’t look like it’s trying too hard. Today is one of those days, so without much further blabbering on my end, head on over to the Working Wardrobe to check it out, or click [...]
Business Casual Superstar #369: Inspired by Lily Aldrin (Alyson Hannigan, How I Met Your Mother)

I’m back to a somewhat regular posting schedule here, which is nothing short of miraculous given my computer meltdowns and my hectic schedule. Seriously. Shoot me in the face, plz. I really don’t think this is sustainable in any way, but hey, that’s what caffeine pills are for, right? Today’s post is inspired by Lily [...]
Would You Brush Your Teeth with a Twig? Uh, Heck, Yes.
Posted in Business Casual Superstar, Islam/Culture, tagged Pretty News on February 15, 2011 | 5 Comments »
Would You Brush Your Teeth with a Twig?. That’s what Gizmodo wants to know, and personally, my answer is a resounding YES. The “twig” being talked about is the miswaak, which Muslims have been using as a toothbrush for almost two thousand years, roughly, if not longer. It’s considered Sunnah, roughly translated as ‘the way [...]

As most of you know, all the prep material I had for my blog (which was a LOT – more than 1gig) was lost in my epic computer crash(es). AND I’M STILL BITCHING ABOUT IT YES WHAT OF IT. But I’m slowly starting to build my folders back up, which is why we’re back today [...]
Nah, It’s Not Like Anything Could Go Horribly, Horribly Wrong Due To Our Testing Our Nuclear Weapons…

Bravo for the Marshallese: Regaining Control in a Post-Nuclear, Post-Colonial World by Holly M. Barker My rating: 3 of 5 stars This was certainly a compelling read, and quite difficult to get through at times. It is written by a young Peace Corp volunteer that lived in the Marshall Islands with her host family and [...]
