LSAT score was a 162. This puts me in the 87th percentile, which is pretty decent, but which is way more average than I hoped it would be.
Oh, well.
I guess if I wanted to be less-average I should have actually done stuff like prepare, and care about the test, huh?
Had a very nice brunch with mommy and others today. Grace, Rebecca, and Nick also showed up, mom made a good salad and some wonderful, wonderful steak. Good conversation, and a nice relaxing time.
Also had coffee with Anna, who I haven’t seen in a while because Professional has her working 900 hours a [...]
Props to the South Siders. Hope y’all Chicago kids are out causing trouble right now….
(Rachel, pgw, I’m looking at you guys….)
I was in CVS today, buying some toothpaste, and noticed the magazine “Cosmo’s Best Confessions”, many copies of which were sitting in the rack next to the cash register.
Having, on occasion, read bits and pieces of Cosmo, I’m assuming that next week “Penthouse Letters” is going to be occupying that particular bit of shelf space. [...]
[update 10/26/2005, 12:43] I have been informed that what’s below makes no sense. I hope to correct that later today, but it might not be until sometime after later today.
I recently finished Jonathan Safran Foer’s novel “Everything is Illuminated” (thereby becoming the last person on Earth, I think, to actually read it all the [...]
My roommate demonstrates why he is, and will always be, a better ultimate player than I am.
For a good time:
1 part massive concrete saw cutting through the floor immediately next to the server room
2 parts crashing database server
1 part unreachable executives
1 part pissed-off investors
Really, it’s great.
Haven’t slept in 27 hours at this point, and believe me, I wish that number were much, much smaller than it is.
Garcon! Coffee!
Went to Hell Night at the East Coast Grill last night with some folks from work. It’s wonderful food, and they cook it with the hottest chiles and sauces that they can devise. Good stuff, that: it’s like a frat-boy challenge wrapped in a veneer of respectability. It’s a chance to get [...]
The artice “Meet the Life Hackers”, in yesterday’s New York Times Magazine, has been on my mind all day.
Briefly, the article (which you should go read, if you haven’t already) is about the pace of work, and the relative lack of uninterrupted time in a given work day. It’s about the difficulty that workers [...]
Rachel was on WBEZ, Chicago’s public radio station, yesterday, reporting on Liberia’s elections.
Listen here to the program.
This is the coolest thing ever. There is something immensely satisfying about very smart, benevolent people doing amazing things — and sharing them with the rest of the world.
Taz rightly pointed out that I’ve been extraordinarily quiet over the past week or so. Things have been crazy. Very crazy. Been busy, been running in circles.
The data center move went as well as could be hoped. I ended up being at work from 12 PM on Friday until [...]
Off to dinner with my mom in a few minutes, at the newly-restored Ashmont Grill in Dorchester. For most of my childhood, the Ashmont Grill was a pretty run-down, nay crappy, bar. Kind of a dive. Or at least I think it was, because I only went there once, and I was [...]
Okay, back from the LSAT. Some general thoughts/impressions/etc:
On UMass Boston: The place is one of the most horrific examples of architecture/planning I’ve ever seen with my own eyes. It’s like City Hall Plaza, but without the good parts, and without coffee. The only thing that can possibly be said in it’s favor [...]
