Two weeks left in my first semester of law school and I’m watching UNC / Michigan State basketball on ESPN. It might not sound like the most productive use of my time, but if I get to hear Dickie V say “it’s crunch time, bay-beeeeee!” just once, I know it will be all the motivation I need for the next two weeks.
Chess boxing was a plot device in the graphic novel, Froid Équateur (Equator Cold) by Serbian creator Enki Bilal. Until someone started setting up matches in real life.
Matches are made up of rounds of boxing and twelve minutes sessions of chess, alternating back and forth. The winner either gets checkmate or knocks his opponent out. (via Bleeding Cool)
HELL YES. I am so going to try this.

President Josiah Bartlet: Good. I like your show. I like how you call homosexuality an abomination.
Dr. Jenna Jacobs: I don’t say homosexuality is an abomination, Mr. President. The Bible does.
President Josiah Bartlet: Yes it does. Leviticus.
Dr. Jenna Jacobs: 18:22.
President Josiah Bartlet: Chapter and verse. I wanted to ask you a couple of questions while I have you here. I’m interested in selling my youngest daughter into slavery as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. She’s a Georgetown sophomore, speaks fluent Italian, always cleared the table when it was her turn. What would a good price for her be? While thinking about that, can I ask another? My Chief of Staff Leo McGarry insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly says he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself or is it okay to call the police? Here’s one that’s really important because we’ve got a lot of sports fans in this town: touching the skin of a dead pig makes one unclean. Leviticus 11:7. If they promise to wear gloves, can the Washington Redskins still play football? Can Notre Dame? Can West Point? Does the whole town really have to be together to stone my brother John for planting different crops side by side? Can I burn my mother in a small family gathering for wearing garments made from two different threads? Think about those questions, would you?

Seth: Anna, wait a second. What am I going to do without you? Who am I going to play Jenga with? You’re so wise and all your sage wisdom, what am I going to do without that?
Anna: Confidence, Cohen.
The fact that Samaire Armstrong’s biggest role since The OC was a guest spot on Entourage is proof to me that Hollywood is ass-backwards.
Expectations/Reality
Despite the fact that I’ve always self-identified as a conservative, I decided (for a plethora of reasons) to apply for Georgetown Law’s alternative first-year curriculum. It’s taught by mostly leftist professors to mostly leftist students and, in addition to the basic first-year subjects, incorporates mostly leftist legal theory. I decided to document whether these classes change my ideology by retaking this test after each semester.
