The Panda Award Goes To . . .

Tonight, amongst other members of the journal, I was honored with this award.
Yes, the award for "Animal Magnetism." I don't even know what that means, but I sure am proud. And the Panda looks pretty cool!

The Song, The Cinematography, The Skateboarding

I've always kept up with skateboarding. There's a part of it that has remained in my heart. Some of the best times in my life were spent skating. But who am I kidding, that was forever-and-a-day ago. Still, lately I've been thinking about getting a board again just to cruise around and get out of the house.

Huf put out this little diddy to Tony Bennett's "Left My Heart in San Francisco." It definitely fuels that fire.

Rilo Kiley - With Arms Outstretched

One of my favorite songs.

Supernova - Mr. Hudson and Kanye West

I really like something about this song.

Win

This Bill is a Big Deal

Language is a little crude, but it's funny.



Still haven't read the language of the Health Care Bill, and thus I'm not sure of what the overall implications are (let's face it, you have to accept the media's interpretation as being at least somewhat biased and somewhat unreliable).

A Moment Too Late

Today is the week of being behind (not that my whole life hasn't been spent being a little late on trends, appointments, etc.). But it seems to be particularly highlighted today.

Today was the day I read a recent Texas Supreme Court case. Of course yesterday was the day I was questioned (in an interview no less) about recent, interesting Texas Supreme Court decisions. Granted, I stumbled through a semi-reasoned answer, but today's reading would have helped yesterday's questioning.

Today is the day I read Texas case law relating to the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). Of course Tuesday was the day I judged a moot court tournament dealing with the FAA and Texas law.

Murphy's Law in full effect in my life.

A Tribe Called Quest - Can I Kick It?

I love this song

M83 - Lower Your Eyelids to Die With the Sun

This song is epic.

Treme

I cannot express how excited I am for Treme on HBO. David Simon is a genius. And Bunk and Lestor from the Wire are in it? I'm ALL IN.

Trailer

NOLA is a magical place. Granted, I've only been there twice, but I have very vivid and fond memories. There is a charm and a tremendous sense of pride throughout the city that is unparalleled by anywhere else I've been. And the food is quite amazing.
