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.

A Poem By My Grandma

Posted on May 04, 2008
My grandma is in a poetry workshop at a senior center where she takes classes. Tomorrow they're doing a "reading" at lunch -- each of them gets up and reads one of their poems, and the audience is "held captive,"...

My Grandma Reviews: "Made of Honor"

Posted on May 03, 2008
"They're crazy. Making movies like this, that aren't about normal people. It was a fairy tale. That's all it was. It's so unnatural. He's in love with her, but it's so stupid, he won't just tell her, and then right...

A kosher restaurant in NYC held a $3000 contest to find its new name... and ended up with... Kosher Village. As if they had to spend $3000 to come up with that one. There's a long list of the entries...

Brothers and Sisters

Posted on April 28, 2008
I can't believe they totally reversed course and made Rebecca not a Walker anymore. It's like the Landry murder plot from Friday Night Lights.

Museum of Tolerance / Huntington Botanical Gardens

Posted on April 28, 2008
My girlfriend was out in LA with me this past week, and we did two touristy things -- we went to the Huntington Botanical Gardens, and to the Museum of Tolerance. First, the gardens. They're very pretty. They're not far...

My Grandma Reviews: Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Posted on April 21, 2008
I don't want to get your hopes up, but this is a great review. I could barely type fast enough. "I can't believe you recommended that movie! It's so sad to think that sex is put in the front like...

Liveblogging the Presidential Debate

Posted on April 16, 2008
8:01 -- I think Charlie Gibson should wear his glasses. I like him better with his glasses. 8:05 -- I am really bored by these opening statements. Really I'm bored by the race, and have been for quite a while....

Oops

Posted on April 15, 2008
I write a post called "blogging kills" and then I forget to blog for a week! Ha. Anyway, no blogging because not much to say. I finished a script today that I've been playing around with, a half-hour medical comedy-ish...

Blogging Kills

Posted on April 07, 2008
Or so the New York Times says. This is a very stupid article. The headline: In Web World of 24/7 Stress, Writers Blog Till They Drop Oh, wow, this must be quite an epidemic for the Times to decide it's...

99 Cents Only

Posted on April 06, 2008
There was an NPR piece last week about some woman who decided to cook her meals using only ingredients found in "99 Cents Only" stores. This specific chain of 99 cents stores, big in California and the West, is distinguished...

My Grandma Reviews: "Leatherheads"

Posted on April 05, 2008
"I didn't understand it. It all seemed very unimportant. I didn't really care for it. Women wouldn't respond to it because they don't know much about football. And the way they played it in the mud. Why would they have...

Opening Day

Posted on April 01, 2008
I watched way too much baseball today. The MLB Extra Innings free preview week is actually the biggest reason I don't buy the Extra Innings package -- having all the games available for a week shows me how much I'd...

How I Met Your Mother

Posted on April 01, 2008
You know what's great? When How I Met Your Mother mentions a fake website, they actually create it. Awesome.

Book Thoughts: In Defense of Food (Michael Pollan) and Punching In (Alex Frankel)

Posted on April 01, 2008
I've been putting the books I read in the sidebar but haven't been writing much about them (or anything lately), but I thought I'd try and get back in the habit. Michael Pollan's carved out a nice niche for himself....

My Grandma Reviews: "Drillbit Taylor"

Posted on March 22, 2008
"I know I say this a lot, but it's really one of the worst things I ever saw. It's alright for children, I guess. It's certainly not the kind of picture I want to see. My friend picked it again....

The Stupidest Thing I Did Today

Posted on March 17, 2008
Kraft Easy Mac is apparently not easy enough. Put the macaroni in a bowl, put the bowl in the microwave. After about two minutes, I thought to myself, "Hmm, something smells like microwave popcorn." After about two minutes and eight...

Theory

Posted on March 15, 2008
Cats are like law firm partners. Dogs are like law firm associates. Think about it. Cats only want you around when they need something. They're moody, unpredictable, and will sometimes scratch you for no reason. They're mean. And just like...

Browser Windows I Want To Close

Posted on March 15, 2008
Some links: A funny parody of the Juno movie trailer called Jewno. An article about a minor league baseball team planning an Eliot Spitzer theme night. An interview with Michael Schur, writer for The Office and baseball blogger at Fire...

Sleep

Posted on March 12, 2008
I hate to bump my Spitzer post down on the page, but I suppose I would have to eventually. Anyway -- there's an article in the Washington Post about sleep, and how Americans may not be as sleep deprived as...

Top Chef

Posted on March 12, 2008
I love Top Chef. Just watched the season premiere of Top Chef: Chicago. I don't think I've missed an episode of Top Chef in all four seasons, and this one's got me hooked again. They have a formula, it doesn't...

My Grandma Reviews: Governor Spitzer

Posted on March 10, 2008
"So did you hear about Governor Spitzer?" "Yeah, Jeremy, I did, but I want you to explain something to me. What exactly did he do?" "I'm not totally sure of the details, but they're saying he was involved in a...

Huffington Post

Posted on March 08, 2008
A friend told me to read this Jon Robin Baitz piece on the Huffington Post, about Samantha Power's resignation. It's fine, except when I thought it was just getting started, it turned out that was the entire piece. I don't...

Be A Lawyer in Brazil

Posted on March 07, 2008
An 8-year-old boy passed the law school entrance exam in Brazil, the school enrolled him, and then turned him away when he showed up and they realized how old he was. This is causing some concern about the admissions standards...

Two Links You've Perhaps Already Seen

Posted on March 07, 2008
Two things I found yesterday that have already gotten tons of media attention and I'm late to discovering: 1. A professor at Carnegie Mellon who's unfortunately dying of pancreatic cancer gave a lecture about time management that's really interesting and...

Wizards of Waverly Place

Posted on March 06, 2008
I have a friend who wrote this Sunday night's episode of "Wizards of Waverly Place" airing on the Disney Channel at 8:30pm. The episode's called "Little Sister." I'm sure it will be awesome. Check it out. I've never seen the...

Obama and Clinton

Posted on March 06, 2008
Just a pragmatic thought for the Democrats that I haven't heard or read anywhere, although it seems pretty obvious to me. It's fairly clear that, whatever anyone thinks of Hillary Clinton, her campaign has been run pretty poorly. Lots of...

My Grandma (Briefly) Reviews: "The Other Boleyn Girl"

Posted on March 01, 2008
"I don't know if it's based on a real true story." "It's based on a novel, which was based on a true story. It's like a fictionalized account of something vaguely true, to whatever degree we can even know if...

Scrabulous

Posted on March 01, 2008
The New York Times, on Scrabulous, the addictive Facebook game. I hate how it takes people with jobs so long to take their turns sometimes. :) I feel like Scrabulous, in a small way, makes slightly more interesting that fuzzy...

Tonight's Democratic Debate

Posted on February 27, 2008
I just watched the Democratic debate on MSNBC. Not a thrilling 90 minutes of television, although Clinton was a little more combative than she was last week in Texas, and Tim Russert seemed nicely well-prepared with specific questions about statements...
