The move progresses; New photos on Flickr
![]()
C and I arrive in Alexandria on or around September 9, so keep an eye out for us. Tomorrow we leave for Minnesota and wedding bells. Part of my duties there will be take pictures on the Minolta X-700 I inherited from Dad. As preparation, I have started to take some interest in photography. Check it out over on our Flickr account. More later.

Intermission—Everyday
This is just a quick reminder that the Internet can really be quite nice.

Still Intermission—New Domain
I hesitate even to post anything, but I did pretty well on my Con Law practice questions, so what the hey. I am pleased to announce that there is a new way to access this blog! You can get to it the old-fashioned way, through good old courtney5.us or, if you’re feeling sassy, through the brand-new domain unique-identifier.net.
It’s the exact same content, delivered on the exact same schedule—i.e., intermittently, if at all—accessible with one less mouseclick. Joy!

Computer probs, no posting
No blogging right now, folks. I think my hard drive is failing. LATER

Spring break photos
Against all odds, I arrived safe in D.C. Drew and I have been hanging out and having a good time. I bought a copy of Watership Down and Drew got a Graham Greene novel.
That’s pretty much the news. I am putting pictures on Flickr, which you can view here.

Light blogging this week

Leaving for D.C. in the early AM, which will be the start of my East Coast swing. Maybe some blogging along the way, but who knows?

No posting; I’m trying to be ethical
So many things to talk about… but I can’t. The MPRE is on Saturday, and I just got my BAR/BRI review book yesterday. So I’m devoting my non-class time to devouring ethics. That probably means no posts ’til Saturday. I’ll be at the Cultural Environmentalism conference after I finish the exam, but there’ll be wireless there, so it’s all good.

Three style sheets to the wind
If you’re visiting the site right now and it looks, er, weird, take heart! The weirdness is simply because I’m trying to incorporate a new design and have no idea what I’m doing.

Interrobang is online
I didn’t know when I could safely post this link, but since Drew has mentioned it over on his site (alongside a very nice link to yours truly), I guess the coast is clear. Drew’s new group webzine, The Interrobang project is live. Check it out, won’t you? And repeat after me: “The HTML entity code for an interrobang is ‽.”

Now it’s on
There’s no hiding now. Some time over the weekend, the infinite number of monkeys at an infinite number of terminals at Google’s apparently-infinite monkeyfarm discovered this site. I’m not too proud to admit that I’ve been waiting for this day. And yet—it signals an irrevocable commitment. Turning back now results in a shame that never dies. “Stepped in so far that, should I wade no more, / Returning were as tedious as go o’er.”
