“One of the best things about not being dead is you can have sex.“
Prof. Aimee Kahan, Feb. 2026 (while discussing the Rule Against Perpetutities)
Is that an off-color quote? Yes. Is it wise to have such a quote on a blog that future employers may read (but probably won’t)? I don’t know, but to paraphrase the eternal words of a shameless crook, it’s not off-color when the professor says it.
The Crim midterm went well, I hope. I drank so much caffeine that I spent the exam in bullet time. I crammed the elements of common law offenses like I was a Vancian mage preparing his daily spell slots, ready to fire and forget. I’m more confident about property crimes than homicide, but I can’t say much otherwise. Confidentiality and all that. I had a largely uneventful evening last night, still blitzed out of time on Celsius (or rather, keenly aware of every single passing second). I went to bed early and woke up late; in fact, I woke up frequently again. My dreams were very vivid and very useful for worldbuilding, more on that later. Today I had Property, and we continued our discussion of estate law and the Rule Against Perpetuities, going over numerous hypos in class to drill RAP analysis into our thick 1L skulls. I might see a movie later, I’m not sure. I wanna make sure I’m budgeting my time correctly, since I haven’t been lately. Something something idle hands.
I did the NYT Games for the first time in a while. My results for today are as follows:

I’m glad I got perfect Connections and Strands. I hope I can keep the streak going. On a totally unrelated note, someone was waving an Israeli flag at the corner of 34th and Market on Ash Wednesday, from the time I walked to class until I walked back to my apartment. Given current events, I think he was trying to provoke a reaction a la Johnny Somali. I would have mentioned it earlier in the week, but it slipped my mind with the MHLS meeting and all that.
I’m probably gonna cook up a light lunch once I get back to my apartment. I have plenty I could make. I’m gonna work on my Legal Methods brief, I have an argument to make and a hypothetical Plaintiff to own with facts and logic.
