Somewhat behind on stuff – like YC, I’ve been on Facebook too much; but oh well! Scrabulous is fabulous, and Scramble drives me nuts, and I’m into Books’ iRead (at least to look at make lists of books). Hey, FC – like your pictures of the Murakami exhibit! I must really get back to the [...]

Catching up — NY Times’ Bob Herbert on the depressing state of education in America. If the kids’ parents don’t take education seriously, I’m not sure how McCain/Obama/Hilary may inspire people to take it seriously. Slate’s Troy Patterson on such a sad look at CBS News. For a news division that was once venerable, this [...]

So, I’m just giddy – giddy! – from the latest “How I Met Your Mother” episode! The return of FutureTed’s teenage kids sitting on the couch in the year 2030 and thinking their dad and his friends are lame. Robin as her “Robin Sparkles” alter ego from her Canadian teenager pop star years (apparently, Canada [...]

Monday — “How I Met Your Mother” — man, is this now my favorite show or what?! This season has been heartbreaking and funny and romantic. I may not have quite felt it with “Friends” (at least not since the early days of the Monica and Chandler romance), but “HIMYM” really does it for me, [...]

Thursday, April 17 – Poem in Your Pocket Day! I’ve been into reading Emily Dickinson poetry, and since I’m not violating copyright law (Dickinson now in public domain), this has to be one of my favorite poems, simply for being morbid and full of imagery: BECAUSE I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped [...]

Back to work on Tuesday, after my attempt of having a personal four-day weekend, and being unable (as usual) to relax. Who was I kidding? Monday TV: “How I Met Your Mother” – plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, particularly for lawyers: Marshall realizes he hates Big Firm Law Practice, because it means drafting pointless legal research [...]

Thursday night – Law School Alma Mater APALSA Alumni Dinner – food really good; speakers – good; plus, FC – congratulations on your honor! Saturday – attended the annual Dean’s Day lectures at undergrad Alma Mater. Not nearly as many interesting lectures as last year’s, but some fascinating discussion on religion and ecology; and how [...]

The Yale Daily News reports on a story of a Trinidadan Asian student who allegedly faked his application transferring into Yale. Apparently he claimed to be transferring from Columbia, and had previously transferred from NYU. Or did he actually go to Columbia, and had his identity stolen by NYU? Or did he take a leave [...]

Sunday: a friend’s birthday; Brooklyn Symphony Orchestra; Caffe Buon Gusto. Unclutter! Yep, that’s the story of my life, my perpetually renewed New Year’s resolution, etc. Some interesting stuff in this particular Slate article on resources on uncluttering, organizing, and making life better. Monday – NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship – Kansas beat Memphis. Quite a game [...]

I slept most of the day on Sunday, just catching up after two whirlwind days. Friday night I was invited back to the 25th anniversary of an Asian fashion/culture show that I ran back in college. There was about 50 alums from ranging from the beginning in the late 80s to today. I actually ended [...]
