These are hard questions. They’re not going to be resolved through a tweet or through some online internet poll.

I had a conversation (gchat) today with my (hilarious) friend Jill in which I told her that I usually lie & say that I’m 30 (even though, technically, I am only 29). I love the sound of 30. It gives you such street-cred. You know, “I’m not just some dumb college kid. I’m THIRTY YEARS OLD.”
I also quite like the route my hair is taking. Taking after the X-men character Rogue (known for her occasional super strength and flight and occasional martial arts and unarmed combat).

Can you see them in there? More and more wise grey hairs by the day. That’s one thing law school is guaranteed to give you, not a job, but plenty of grey!
In an rare dive back into my masochistic (in the “a taste for suffering” definition) footwear days (days before I was completely and exclusively dedicated to one shoe company), I bought these little babies for myself for Christmas.
I wore them on New Year’s Eve… for as long as I could physically stand it. Neil basically had to give me a piggy-back ride back to the car. Curse you scoliosis, curse you!
And, as you might imagine, despite how ultra-glorious they are, they have been collecting dust under my bed since. I looked at them today and thought, “they are so amazing, it may have been worth it just to wear them that once.”
Wish I had had these babies back in December 2006. Then they could have gotten a whole 45 minutes more air-time. In place of these:
Here is a segment from MY CON LAW Professor on Democracy Now today about Citizen’s United!
Below is a surprisingly on-target analysis by Colbert of the Citizen’s United case that was just ruled on by the Supreme Court. Don’t get how Corporations can be counted as people? Watch it.
ALSO Visit MoveToAmend.org to sign a petition to take ANY Constitutional rights away from Corporations!! (Ash is currently working on this campaign in CA)

Ok, I’ll admit, this one I mostly like because of the Scalia law-nerd-joke at the end.

Neil & I participated today in a march from the White House to the Supreme Court to the Capitol building in orange jumpsuits & hoods.
[We are in that photo on the far left. I'm holding the B in "Broken" & Neil is right behind me.]
When we got to the Capitol we had to quickly take off the suits to avoid arrest. 28 protesters were arrested outside & 14 were inside pretending to be on a tour & were also arrested for a demonstration the led in the Rotunda.
One year ago President Obama issued an executive order to close Guantanamo & promised it would be completed in one year. He must keep this promise.
