Jeremy Blachman's Brand New Weblog

I had a weblog before. This is my new one. I went to law school. But now I've written a novel. It's based on this other blog I've been writing (click here). This blog is to talk about that process, and whatever else I feel like writing about. I'll try to make it worth your while. I'm sometimes funny. Sometimes. Thanks for stopping by.

It's Sarah Palin Blame Day!

Posted on November 06, 2008
I think this might be the most bizarre first paragraph of a news article I've ever read:Sarah Palin spent "tens of thousands" more than the quoted $150,000 on clothes for the Republican campaign, met McCain aides in her hotel room...

This article...

about a 114-year-old woman voting, is pretty awesome.

Election Day, Part 2

Posted on November 05, 2008
Well, that was pretty cool. I am surprised and not entirely thrilled that the pollsters got pretty much everything right. I think pollsters getting things wrong would keep this world a little more interesting. But I suppose I can't complain...

Election Day

Posted on November 04, 2008
I got an invite in my inbox, more than once, for a free election night gathering at the Hyatt in Century City out here. So far, OVER ELEVEN THOUSAND PEOPLE have RSVP'd. So while, on the one hand, I think...

Odds and Ends

Posted on October 29, 2008
Reading a terrific book about Teach For America called Relentless Pursuit. It follows 4 teachers through a year in an L.A. public high school in Watts. If you read it in L.A., while sitting in your car, parked in a...

Weddings, Not Mine

Posted on October 20, 2008
I went to a really neat Indian wedding over the weekend, in suburban Detroit. Had never been to an Indian wedding before. Food was really good. And it was really cool to see what a wedding ceremony looks like in...

Highlights From Last Night's Presidential Debate

Posted on October 16, 2008
OBAMA: Look, as I travel around the country, this is the issue that will break your heart over and over again. Just yesterday, I was in Toledo shaking some hands in a line. Two women, both of them probably in...

Tonight's Presidential Debate

Posted on October 07, 2008
...will hopefully be more interesting than the VP debate, which I thought was disappointing since no one said anything completely bizarre or insane. Debates are only fun when someone makes a big mistake. And since the moderator didn't force anyone...

The Mentalist

Posted on October 02, 2008
Is seriously amazing, riveting television.I just watched episode 2, from Tuesday. It's awesome. I don't even like crime procedurals -- there isn't another crime procedural on TV that I watch -- but it's just so compelling. I don't know what...

Michael Moore's Slacker Uprising

Posted on September 25, 2008
I just watched Slacker Uprising, Michael Moore's new film that he's streaming for free at SlackerUprising.com. It's a bit of an odd movie, basically a concert DVD of Moore's 2004 tour of college campuses trying to get young people to...

Raising the Bar (TNT)

Posted on September 23, 2008
...should be required viewing for everyone who works at a law firm and wants to feel better about it. Just watched tonight's episode, which pretty much paints both sides of the public system -- the DA's office and the public...

Why We're All Screwed

Posted on September 21, 2008
The New York Times has an article in today's paper called "A Disability Epidemic Among a Railroad's Retirees," about how as many as 97% of employees who retire from the Long Island Railroad file for disability post-retirement and have been...

Hypothetical Wedding Etiquette Question #1

Posted on September 18, 2008
Suppose you tell someone they're invited to your wedding, and they say they wish they could come but they already have another wedding that day, and so they can't.Do you send them an invitation anyway?I feel like there's probably a...

Free Range Chickens

Posted on September 17, 2008
I just read Simon Rich's new book, Free Range Chickens. It's a collection of short humor pieces, like his previous book, Ant Farm, which was a paperback. This one is hardcover. I'm slightly torn about this book. Because if I...

David Foster Wallace

A nice post from Ben Casnocha's blog about David Foster Wallace.

My Grandma Reviews: "The Women"

Posted on September 13, 2008
"The whole cast was women. There weren't any men at all. Frankly, when I go see a movie, I like when there are men in it. I thought it was a stupid decision for it to be all women."

Barry Zito

Posted on September 13, 2008
Fascinating piece about Giants pitcher Barry Zito in the New York Times Play magazine this weekend. I like Barry Zito. He's always seemed very human, for a baseball player. I hope he bounces back next season. Although I probably won't...

Thirty-Seven Posts I Haven't Written About Planning A Wedding All Combined Into One Massive Wedding-Related Brain Dump

Posted on September 10, 2008
After my fiancee and I got engaged, part of me hoped and expected that the act of planning a wedding would inspire a whole bunch of blog posts, and maybe even something bigger than that. That "wedding planning" could be...

Are McCain and Palin having an affair?

Posted on September 09, 2008
The NY Times seems to be wondering. Okay, not quite. But this is a stupid, sexist article. If Obama and Biden hug too close, does that mean they're sleeping together?

Fall TV Season: What I Might Be Watching / New Show Preview

Posted on September 03, 2008
With the fall TV premieres coming up, thought I'd quickly blog about the stuff I've seen and what I'll be watching.Mondays: Really like How I Met Your Mother and keep getting sucked back into Boston Legal. Found myself watching more...

90210

Posted on September 03, 2008
Wow, that was terrible. I guess I expected it would be. I lasted 33 minutes until I had to turn it off. My fiancee made me watch it. That is my excuse. But I found the Republican convention more interesting...

Palin etc

Posted on September 03, 2008
I don't understand the insistence that this is the biggest speech of Palin's life, and this speech will make or break her vice-presidential candidacy, and that we are somehow going to know something more about Sarah Palin after her speech...

A quick link...

Posted on August 28, 2008
...with my fiancee's permission, to our wedding website, in case anyone's curious where my blogging energy has gone for the past couple of weeks. I've probably spent a little too much time on this. (And I'm probably not quite done...

Jeremy Reviews: Tropic Thunder

Posted on August 19, 2008
Apologies that posting has been really light lately. It may pick up. I saw Tropic Thunder this afternoon. First 20 minutes and last 20 minutes are really good. I kept wanting to fast forward through the hour in the middle....

Mike Birbiglia: "Sleepwalk With Me"

Posted on August 11, 2008
Saw Mike Birbiglia's one-man show, "Sleepwalk With Me," last night at Upright Citizens Brigade. He's apparently prepping it for an off-Broadway run in the fall, but why see it for $50 when you can see it for $5 at UCB....

My Grandma Reviews: The X-Files

Posted on August 02, 2008
"I wanted to leave right in the middle! All you see is people not in regular neighborhoods, but in very very remote locations, not neighborhoods where you can see normal things going on, normal people. And it was very dark,...
