just what i needed this morning...

please note parent panda's expression both before and after baby sneeze.

overheard, part I

while buying spring term books, at the bookstore, from a 2L:

"Every time I go book shopping for classes, I seriously consider dropping out of law school."


um... yup.

a pretty picture to end the year...

having made it through my first term of law school, i'm thoroughly enjoying some down time...catching up with family, friends, and lots and lots of pretty things.




laura matthews' dead calm is exactly what i need to round out my year. just beautiful.

some cultural levity

after a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

i am SUCH a sucker

for projects like these. little snippets of people's lives - what they do, how they think - just completely enthrall me. one of my favorites of the people featured in the project is this fellow. hear more about how peter feldstein conceived of the idea...

love it.

heseltine's sculptures are absolutely lovely. see more of his work here.

gastrointestinal issues...

it is impressive to me that for the last two days, the two days before my first real law school exam, my stomach is convinced that it is in india, having just digested about 5 thalis of street food.

impressive, yes. amusing, no.
