i'm really leaning towards making this a sports blog. i didn't think it would end up being something so unoriginal, but perhaps this is a sign of more unoriginality to come. it's hard not to write about sports when the world cup comes around. for the first time in my life i bought a replica jersey to wear to bars to support our team. and they reward the country's expectations with such a miserable performance. soccer fans understand how embarrassing that game was - moreso than all of Italy 1990 and France '98...

off to DC tomorrow for some fun lawfirm summer extravaganzaness. we get to meet nina totenberg. this is a big deal. for nerds like myself.
