My Favorite Small Town
What's funny is that I call it a small town but it's really not. Oceanside, California. The population is 180,000, or so it says on the population sign just outside of town. It honestly feels like 20,000 tops. It's an amazing place, and one of my very favorite places on the planet. It's also where …
I'm Too Old for This!
When I was in college, I could stay up all night long studying or hanging out with friends, and then get up the next morning and do it all over again. I'm too old for that now! I think that my body is just getting older, and my mind is smarter, honestly. My mind is …
It’s Working
It's working. I have gone all day without thinking of the stupid person I've banished from my life. It's not because I've been too busy or anything. It's simply because I have chosen not to let this person even enter my thoughts for more than 2 seconds before jettisoning him/her from my thoughts. Oh, what a …

Sometimes you have to. You just have to step back and say to yourself, "Self. It's time to get off this hamster wheel with this idiot and go roll on the floor for a while." So, you do. It takes time, but you can do it. I've done it many times, some more difficult separations …

Extremely Close
Tonight we went to see the new Tom Hanks/Sandra Bullock movie Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Thomas Horn, the boy in the movie, absolutely stole the show. His acting skills are incredible. I hope he wins an Oscar for his performance, as he certainly deserves it. I like how Tom Hanks allows young actors to …
The Life of a 3L
Wow. Being a 3L is soooo much better than being a 1 or even a 2L. Why? Because you don't take yourself so seriously and you don't feel like you have to read the cases as closely because you've read so many of them before, literally. Like this weekend. I had about 8 cases to …
