How many five year old kids could you take on in a fight?

I could take on 22, apparently - how about you? =P

Infernal Affairs in NYC Chinatown

Mon, 17 Dec 2007 21:45:55 GMT

This is a really interesting criminal case I found excerpted on Bob Loblaw's Law Blog (anyone other than me and matt watch arrested development?). Extortion and "little brothers" - sounds like I'm talking about Infernal Affairs... but this was/(is?) happening right in NYC's Chinatown! Have any of you been to the "No. 1 Gift Shop" in Manhattan? If I come up and visit NYC over break, I want to go find this place of infamy!

Check out the summary of the decision on Bob Loblaw's Law Blog , if you don't want to read the full decision. =P

Scary, but true.

On a related note, I love the 80s.

Button Fly - Why?

Sun, 04 Nov 2007 23:42:01 GMT

Kimssy: Ed, your fly is open.
Me: huh? what?
Kimssy: I think your fly is down!
Me: *checks* oh nope, actually this is just a button down fly.

That was one of the most awkward moments for me this weekend haha. It made me wonder: what is the purpose of a button down fly? Zippers are far more efficient (I remember the first time I wore these jeans. When I really had to go to the bathroom, I suffered for a few precious seconds just trying to unbutton). Button fly's also don't seem to offer anything from a stylistic point of view, and as my experience yesterday showed, they may give rise to awkward moments when people think your fly isn't completely closed. I'll be the first to confess that I'm a novice when it comes to fashion, but I have a hard time determining any benefits of a button fly as opposed to a more traditional zipper. Any insights on this?

I'm having my first taste of a law school exam tomorrow. I think I'm ready, but more than anything else, I'm glad this one is just practice! I was afraid we'd have absolutely no chance to see what an exam was like until we had to take them in december, but thank goodness my contracts prof is so awesome =)

On another note, I found out where people run at school. There's a big indoor track in the fitness center basically across the street from where I live. It's cool and air conditioned, and each lap is ~1/5 of a mile - not too shabby. I decided to start running again today, because my knee was feeling better. Unfortunately, the pain returned just over a mile into my run =(. I guess I'll need to rest it more. Instead of finishing up my run, I gave spinning a try!

I always pictured spinning as a really girly activity, and I think I was mostly correct. I was definitely the minority at the spinning machines (bikes?) but whatevs! Spinning was surprisingly fun and challenging. (having televisions in front of the bikes was nice to keep me entertained too ... i got to watch some of MTV's quality reality tv programming =P

insomnia.

The more I want sleep, the more it seems to escape me. It feels so futile to toss around in bed, searching for that perfect spot that will convince my tired body to rest. Or to listen, as the sounds of activity fade into the night, and only my own restless rustling, breathing, and dissatisfied sighs break the quiet. It seems like all else in the world has had no trouble falling asleep, and the only disturbance left is the methodical tick-tock in my head, as even more precious moments of sleep slip away.
