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.

The Accidental Billionaires

Posted on September 15, 2009
(Ben Mezrich's new book about Mark Zuckerberg and the founding of Facebook-- link in the Things I'm Reading sidebar) Ben Mezrich makes it look easy. Establish Mark Zuckerberg, computer genius, social outcast. Jealous of the popular kids. Steals an idea...

No Impact Man

Posted on September 14, 2009
Yesterday my wife and I saw the documentary No Impact Man, about a guy who decided to spend a year giving up everything in his life that had a negative environmental impact-- no trains/planes/buses/cars, no food that wasn't grown locally,...

This article made me embarrassed to be a writer

Posted on September 10, 2009
There's a piece in the Village Voice by screenwriter Josh Olson (The History of Violence, which I haven't seen, so I'm opinion-less about it) called "I Will Not Read Your Fucking Script" where he rants about friends who ask him...

Blogging, sort of.

Posted on September 09, 2009
Ben Casnocha has a really neat post on his blog, the transcript of an Instant Message conversation between him and Penelope Trunk, who writes a career blog that I've seen a few times but don't read regularly (and who it...

quick further update

Posted on September 01, 2009
Not sure if it was the quick administration of the clot-busting medication, but my mom's deficits seem to have completely resolved, and she's home from the hospital as of a couple hours ago-- the doctors aren't quite sure what caused...

my mom

Posted on August 31, 2009
The post I wanted to write was about finishing up a book proposal on Thursday that I've been spending a whole bunch of the past few weeks working on, and now it's in my agent's inbox and hopefully will get...

quick update to previous post

Posted on August 31, 2009
Things looking better and better with my mom as the day progressed today-- language and reading pretty much all back to normal, amazingly. What it's looking like is that the chemotherapy from her breast cancer treatments caused some damage to...

Anonymous Lawyer in Hebrew

Posted on August 23, 2009
The Israeli edition of Anonymous Lawyer came out last week. A reporter for the newspaper Ha'aretz interviewed me for an article that came out today. Here's the link to the Google Translate version. It's not a perfect translation, but it's...

Another WSJ Law Blog Piece

Posted on August 12, 2009
Another piece in the WSJ Law Blog, this time a response to Working Mother's list of the 50 Best Law Firms For Women. The real list is here. So if you need law firm-related satire, or have any other satire...

Crazy commercial

Posted on August 10, 2009
I just saw a commercial for Nutella, where there's a mom and she says, "as a mom, I'm concerned about healthy foods for my kids. that's why I use Nutella to get my kids to eat healthy. I spread it...

WSJ Law Blog

Posted on August 06, 2009
Check out a piece of mine just posted on the Wall Street Journal's law blog-- a mock layoff memo from a fictional law firm, inspired by all the start date deferrals and summer associate program canceling that seems to be...

A Few Wedding Pics

Posted on August 01, 2009
Photos courtesy of Conrad Erb, whose pictures we were really happy with and you should totally use him if you're getting married.

Ten Things

Posted on July 28, 2009
Sorry I have not been moved to post. Trying to write other stuff, and mostly not doing enough worth writing about or thinking about things worth posting about... But here goes: 1. I was watching ten minutes of the Today...

McCourt

Posted on July 20, 2009
What a lovely NYT article about Frank McCourt's teaching career. I read Teacher Man, McCourt's memoir of his time spent teaching, a couple of years ago and really enjoyed. Sad that he died.

Michael and Michael Have Issues

Posted on July 16, 2009
New show that premiered last night on Comedy Central. I liked it. Their last show, Stella, was a little too abstract for me. I wanted to like it but it wasn't grounded enough, I didn't feel like I really got...

500 Days of Summer

Posted on July 16, 2009
I saw a screening last night. I'd read the script a few months ago and really enjoyed the script. The script was more enjoyable than the movie, unfortunately. Thought Joseph Gordon-Levitt did a great job, making a relatively bland character...

Terrible Recipes

Posted on July 13, 2009
My wife's parents came over for brunch yesterday and brought us a copy of a cookbook Nina's grade school put together when she was young, with contributions from parents. There's apparently a couple of recipes in the book they've enjoyed...

Everything In My Head, In A Blog Post

Posted on July 10, 2009
Okay, if I'm going to say I'm going to post more, I should post more. Here are the things currently floating around in my head: -- It's kind of hard to adjust to Nina's residency schedule. Basically she works from...

a couple of links

Posted on July 02, 2009
Ben Casnocha has written an excellent essay about information culture on the Internet, over here. Worth all 4,000 words. and Dan Slater's piece about why law firm layoffs are a good thing (which will probably inspire an Anonymous Lawyer post...

Back To Blog

Posted on July 01, 2009
My wife starts her medical residency today, which means this first month of marriage where we've been able to actually spend time together, unfortunately comes to an end with her 12-hour days / 6 days a week / every 4th...

Worst Excuse In The World...

Posted on June 26, 2009
...but in fact the actual excuse for why I'm going to be five minutes late for lunch with a friend: "We just started using our new bath towels and even though we washed them first, there's still a lot of...

Books I Am Reading

Posted on June 19, 2009
I don't know why married life has left me with nothing to blog about. I assume that will change. The public library near my apartment is sparkling clean and appears to be brand new. I have no idea why New...

St. Lucia Recap

Posted on June 10, 2009
Have been back from St. Lucia since late late Sunday night, and finally have the chance to sit down and write about it. Or at least share some pictures: It's really a beautiful island, and it's fun to see animals...

St. Lucia: Blog Post #1

Posted on June 01, 2009
I'm interrupting my blog-free honeymoon in St. Lucia because I felt compelled to post about a bizarre soda I just tried called Mauby Fizz. The label told me it was made from the bark of a tree (along with sugar,...

Off for honeymoon

Posted on May 26, 2009
Wedding was great. Leaving for honeymoon on a 6AM flight this morning, which was not our first choice as far as flight times... but should be fun anyway. Probably won't be blogging until we're back on the 7th, but who...

Wedding Day...

Posted on May 24, 2009
I should be sleeping, but I'm getting excited. Plus, I went to sleep at 9PM, so I've actually gotten 6 hours of sleep already. In 12 hours, I'll be married! Looks like we made it into the New York Times...

The Future of Publishing

Posted on May 22, 2009
This post is long. The quick version: I think celebrities/thought leaders, major or minor, should start their own publishing imprints, taking print-on-demand and e-book technologies to pretty much eliminate all of the traditional costs involved in the model, and if...

Wedding Notes

Posted on May 17, 2009
My wedding is a week from today! I haven't blogged about the planning nearly as much as I expected I would, partly because it's mostly not that dramatic, partly because I've been trying to write a play that mines a...

NYT Magazine Credit Crisis Article

Posted on May 15, 2009
Interesting piece on the credit crisis, written by an economics reporter for the Times who ended up with a subprime mortgage and massive debt.

Happy Birthday, Grandma

Posted on May 10, 2009
My grandma turned 93 today. It's been a tough year for her. Things haven't gotten a lot better since her stroke about a year ago. Fortunately, they haven't gotten worse either, and she's been pretty stable. But it's still awfully...
