I am *one hour* into a flight to Munich, and apparently everyone is pregaming so hard that the entire plane is already out of beer. I am impressed and concerned.

Partner (Romantic)™️: “It weirds me out a little that you wear your mom’s clothes. It’s fine, I’m just noting.”

Me: “Does it help that she wears my clothes too?”

Partner (Romantic)™️: “… maybe.”

I’m not really posting much anymore, but I need to share that in a single 24-hour period, Partner (Romantic)™️ 1) saved me from a rattlesnake, 2) roasted me a chicken, and 3) sewed the button back on my skirt.

Holding out for the right soulmate really paid off.

My father just used the phrase “the Catholic wedding that I had to go to.”

… his wedding. He was referring to his wedding.

Ahahahahahaha oh no I’m so worried

Tall, precariously stacked and teetering pile of books

Apparently I need to play a game of Jenga to finish this draft….

Awwwww

I was having an absolutely terrible day, and then I taught for two hours, and… now life is grand. My students are so wonderful, I’m so lucky.

Just checked my spam folder, and I'm honored to share that I've been invited to speak at the International Conference on Forensic Science and Research in Osaka, Japan, and to submit my article to the Journal of Neonatal Surgery.

Not sure why either of them want a copyright scholar, but ok...

Same! I’m still upset about it… but apparently my mother is still hanging in there!

Also, this is happening:

I’ve somehow become tech support for my parents, and I don’t know how to tell them that they couldn’t have gotten stuck with a worse person for that role

Just brought flowers to Partner (Romantic)™️ to apologize for turning into an absolute basket case this law review submission season. The only question is whether this bouquet will be enough to get us through, or if I’ll need to keep them coming…

Wrote an article on copyright and public art. Ask me how that went.

Update: I was wrong, the issue is my back rather than my knees. But this is me right now....

Sir.

Today's misadventure: the motor in my standing desk has completely died, leaving me stuck at the absolute lowest height setting. I know I'm short, but come on.... a couple days of this and my knees will never be the same.

Had a nightmare that I was at a protest at the White House and some dude tried to explain to me how you become an attorney.

… my subconscious gets points for realism, I guess….

Hah! Yeah that’s a pretty accurate assessment tbh

My friend and I both made Valentine’s Day cards out of construction paper. Hers is GORGEOUS, with beautiful calligraphy and perfect little hand-drawn hearts.

… mine looks like a kindergartner’s arts and crafts project.

Overheard college student conversation at a coffee shop: "To be cringe is to be free."

This is perfection.

awwww

The world needs you in your day job, but I also need you to ghostwrite all of my cards from now on

The best I have so far is “I’d like to be more than merely suggestive”

My pocket friends are much cleverer than I, so a request: can anyone think of cute, romantic, copyright or trademark law puns? I’d like to make a card for Partner (Romantic)™️, and I’m drawing a blank….

stahppppp

... that's so good. I hate it.
