still wondering: thoughtful insights & insightful thoughts

One of our professors managed to work the phrase “enter into sexual congress” into his lecture last week. Sometimes I can’t tell if he’s genuinely of a mindset as antiquated as his verbiage or if he is fully aware and revels in the class’ befuddlement.

My wardrobe could use a mild pre-winter revamping. I’m on a budget, though, and should start actually acting like it instead of just writing about it. In conclusion, I’ll probably blow some money on new threads this weekend and lament about my lack of money in a few weeks.

Jean Peal Gaultier Fall 2008 Menswear

There is something very Oliver Twist/A Clockwork Orange about the story that Jean Paul Gaultier’s Fall 2008 Men’s collection is trying to tell. Derby hats, umbrellas, sepia-tones, vests that don’t scream “caterer.” Did I mention derbies? I appreciate this kind of aesthetic so much.

Anyone want to travel to Europe for a month next summer? Should first-year law students spend the summer before second year in an internship? What happens if they don’t?

Fall Break is next week. I’m planning on heading home Wednesday, right after class, and getting back to Buffalo Sunday evening. There are so many people I can’t wait to see at home — even more exciting since I’m not planning a visit home for Thanksgiving. My niece turns one year old next month and is more adorable every time I see her.
