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.

Update

Posted on March 31, 2010
My mom is doing better -- to get into the details would be an ordeal -- but a few hours after my previous post, we got a call saying she was going back into surgery, after a complication from the...

Things I Haven't Blogged About For The Past Two Weeks

Posted on March 16, 2010
Two weeks ago, my mom had a small heart attack. About as minor as these things go, turned out it was caused by an anatomical weirdness that they found when they did an angiogram, and not by artery blockage (the...

Fantasy Baseball?

Posted on March 13, 2010
Last minute, but I have an Anonymous Lawyer free yahoo fantasy baseball league I've been doing for a few years -- there's a bunch of empty spots if anyone's interested -- live auction on Yahoo, tonight at 8 Eastern (should...

A trio of completely unrelated links

Posted on February 28, 2010
Ben Casnocha, living in Chile, posts about the earthquake. A worthwhile interview with author David Shields about his new book, Reality Hunger. An article in the LA Times by my friend Zach about the website tvtropes.org.

Killer Whales

Posted on February 25, 2010
Not to make light of the tragedy at Sea World yesterday where a whale killed its trainer, but I just read an article (The Guardian, via Google News) that seemed sort of silly in his characterizations of the whale: "The...

New Post

Posted on February 22, 2010
I'm a terrible blogger. I just sent what I'm hoping is a final(ish) draft of an Anonymous Lawyer screenplay to my manager. Pretty happy with it. Feeling like it's a really solid piece of material. Whenever I finish any substantial...

Seven Book Reviews

Posted on February 02, 2010
I continue to be a delinquent blogger. Just think of all the useless observations I force on my wife instead of writing in a blog post. Imagine my half-hour monologue about the new ABC legal show "The Deep End" and...

Prague, Bratislava, and Budapest

Posted on January 23, 2010
Or: Winter in Eastern Europe-- A post about my vacation. It's cold in Eastern Europe in January. Especially if you get there right after it snows. We spent three days in Prague, then took a train to Bratislava for a...

Prague / Bratislava / Budapest

Posted on January 11, 2010
My wife and I are leaving tomorrow for ten days visiting a friend in Prague (with a side trip in the middle to Bratislava for a day and Budapest for two). I've been to Prague before (briefly, twice) but never...

Time Warp

Posted on January 06, 2010
The past week has been a bit of a blur. I haven't gone outside much because of the cold. My wife has been working relatively crazy hours, or at least days long enough that there's not much day left when...

Easy and Stupid New Years Resolution #1

Posted on December 26, 2009
** Get rid of all of my open browser windows so I can restart my computer to an empty Firefox ** To do so means I have to read the handful of articles I keep meaning to read but haven't...

Books 2009

Posted on December 22, 2009
The past few years, I read about a hundred books and it made for a nice round number to post about. This year I didn't quite get to 100 -- I'd blame being married, but the data doesn't support it...

Movies 2009

Posted on December 18, 2009
For the past few years I've been blogging at the end of each year about the movies I've seen and books I've read. In 2007, I saw 33 movies. In 2008, I saw 22 movies. In 2009, I've seen 16....

Bostonian of the Year

Posted on December 18, 2009
The Boston Globe named Harvard professor Elizabeth Warren Bostonian of the Year -- there's a lovely article and worth-watching 4-minute video here.

Copyright

Posted on December 17, 2009
This is a quite excellent piece by Cory Doctorow about copyright law and e-books and how preventing people from owning sharing their e-books is a stupid thing for publishers to be doing. An excerpt: Anyone who claims that readers can?t...

It's Complicated

Posted on December 16, 2009
Over the weekend I had the chance to see the new Meryl Streep / Alec Baldwin / Steve Martin comedy, It's Complicated, which comes out in a couple of weeks. There's a long article in this weekend's New York Times...

The Book of William

Posted on December 07, 2009
Paul Collins wrote a book a few years ago called Not Even Wrong. It's about autism, but that magnificently undersells the book. It's about chasing a diagnosis for his son, it's about the history of autism, it's about how all...

Friday Night Lights

Posted on December 04, 2009
I just watched Wednesday night's episode of Friday Night Lights. That was probably the most powerful, most affecting 45 minutes of television I've ever seen. Ever. Brilliant.

Thanksgiving

Posted on November 28, 2009
I'm thankful for a lot of things, and it's pointless to write a blog post about them. This isn't a post about Thanksgiving, this is a post about my grandma and I'm forcing myself to write it because hopefully writing...

Frequent Flyer

Posted on November 21, 2009
I just watched a 20-minute documentary online called Frequent Flyer (streaming free on Vimeo). A friend linked to it on his Facebook page, so I checked it out. The film is about folks who try to accumulate as many frequent...

Scripts

Posted on November 17, 2009
I read a fair number of scripts. Not as many as perhaps I should-- I tend to read them in bursts-- but I've probably read a hundred movie scripts this year and about the same number of TV scripts. Most...

Really Good Book I Just Read

Posted on November 14, 2009
Sorry I forgot for the past week that I have a blog. Wasn't intentional. Anyway: I just finished reading a great book with a not-great title. "And Then There's This," by Bill Wasik. From the title, do you have any...

New piece on the WSJ Law Blog

Posted on November 05, 2009
Just wrote a fun piece on law firm bonuses, on the Wall Street Journal law blog. Link here. I think it might be the first time I've used the words "whimsy" or "clawback" in anything I've written. (How's that for...

New Anonymous Lawyer Post

Posted on November 01, 2009
New anonymous lawyer post about the $1.26 billion default judgment against PepsiCo because a legal secretary screwed up. I think it's funny, hence the link. Enjoy.

The World Series

Posted on November 01, 2009
I have yet to watch a moment of the World Series, and I'm not entirely sure why. Part of it is that I haven't been home at the start of any of the games, and I've gone to sleep early...

No Impact Man: The Book

Posted on November 01, 2009
Six weeks ago, I saw No Impact Man: The Documentary. (The link is to my blog post about the movie.) Mostly the film made me wonder why the man and woman were married to each other, and whether the whole...

Capitalism: A Love Story

Posted on November 01, 2009
Saw Michael Moore's film about capitalism. I feel kind of the same way about this one as I felt about Sicko: Michael Moore is really good at making movies. They're entertaining, they're compelling... and it's only when thinking about it...

Overheard in the elevator in my building

Posted on September 26, 2009
A man and woman, mid-60s, get out of the elevator. Woman: "Are you sure your wife isn't home?" Man: "She better not be."

The Mentalist, plus a question

Posted on September 25, 2009
I think The Mentalist is my favorite show on TV, and I don't think it's even close. Thing is, I don't watch crime procedurals. I've seen half an episode of CSI, I can't get through a Law and Order-- this...

Quick funny link

Posted on September 20, 2009
The weirdest questions asked on Yahoo Answers. (via Ben Casnocha) Somehow I imagine they've only scratched the surface. I'll see what else I can dig up. Look for that later, if I find anything worth sharing. Also, shana tova (happy...
