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 All-Star Game

Posted on July 16, 2008
I should have live-blogged the All-Star Game. Peter Abraham of the Journal News did. It's terrific. That was an awesome, awesome, awesome All-Star Game. I was rooting for it to go until someone's arm fell off. Still, really awesome, and...

Spooky

Posted on July 14, 2008
I'm writing a scene right now that involves a ghost. And right as I'm writing the ghost's only line of dialogue, I press the CTRL key to underline the words -- and it pops off the keyboard. Ghosts are inside...

My Grandma Reviews: Hancock

Posted on July 12, 2008
"Terrible, for me. I didn't even want to keep watching it. There was somebody in it who was famous. I know I've seen movies with him in it before. It had a lot of action, but constantly, they didn't stop....

"Lawyer Boy" by Rick Lax

Posted on July 09, 2008
Wanted to give a quick plug to a just-released law school memoir called "Lawyer Boy," by Rick Lax. Amazon link here. The book's a funny account of Lax's 1L year at DePaul -- he just graduated this May -- and...

My Grandma Reviews! "You Don't Mess With The Zohan"

Posted on July 08, 2008
I wasn't actually sitting in front of the computer when I talked to my grandma earlier today, and even though she went to the movies with her friends on Saturday -- for the first time since her stroke -- I...

The L.A. Library

Posted on July 07, 2008
I added a few more books I've read to the sidebar, including Clay Shirky's excellent "Here Comes Everybody," a primer on how the Internet has enabled people to meet, interact, and organize collective action in ways we never before could,...

July 4th, and a grandma update

Posted on July 02, 2008
My mom and I went into a stationary store to buy stamps this afternoon (I'm in NY the rest of this week -- going to a friend's wedding this weekend). "Oh, we're all sold out. A whole bunch of people...

Why You Should Check Your Lawyer's References

Posted on July 01, 2008
I'm in an airport, between flights en route from LA to NY (free wireless in the Las Vegas airport (!), if anyone's curious). I just got this e-mail: ----------------------------- Subject: more info on annonymous law firm I found your website...

George Carlin

Posted on June 23, 2008
Can't believe George Carlin just died. I am mostly oblivious to any celebrities I may or may not pass on street out here, but just last month George Carlin was in front of me on line in Whole Foods. He...

Random Links

Posted on June 22, 2008
Sorry I haven't written in a while. Finished up a script I've been working on, on Monday, and haven't had too much interesting going on since I guess. Watched the U.S. Olympic gymnastics trials on TV yesterday, just flipped it...

Toothpaste

Posted on June 17, 2008
I just bought toothpaste -- there was a version of Crest on sale, and I'm a little confused by it. It's called Crest Pro-Health Night. I don't know what could possibly make a toothpaste specially formulated for the nighttime, as...

In The Heights

Posted on June 16, 2008
Just watched the Tony Awards. The creator/writer/star of In The Heights (which won best musical) went to my high school. We were in a chorus together at some point, but didn't really know each other. Pretty cool though. My high...

Grandma update

Posted on June 13, 2008
I wanted to write a post about my grandma today, something like a My Grandma Reviews: What She's Been Going Through. She's been back at home for about a week now, having physical therapy and occupational therapy and language therapy...

A few links

Posted on June 05, 2008
Just so I can clear them out of my browser, and since I wanted to share 'em: Great interviews with Albert Brooks and Robert Smigel. Videos of Stephen Colbert's Princeton graduation speech. Here and here. Cool free things you can...

Sex and the City

Posted on June 02, 2008
I saw the Sex and the City movie yesterday. With someone who liked it more than I did. :) It's hard for me to understand why people are enjoying this movie. It's all very unhappy. The characters are all very...

Spelling Bee

Posted on May 30, 2008
The National Spelling Bee is on ESPN this morning and then ABC for the final rounds tonight. I'm Tivoing it because I won't be home, which is probably really dorky. There's an online test on the website, which is pretty...

Miracle Fruit?

Posted on May 28, 2008
This is a totally wild article from the Times about a fruit that makes sour foods taste sweet, and this group that puts on food-tasting parties to explore what the fruit can do. Sounds fascinating, and makes me want to...

Some happy news

Posted on May 23, 2008
I'm very excited to share the news that my girlfriend and I got engaged this afternoon -- she's been a little blog-shy, hence the lack of much talk about her on here, but I'm sure she won't mind me saying...

Top Chef

Posted on May 22, 2008
I can't BELIEVE they sent Dale home instead of Lisa. I think Dale is the first reality TV contestant I've felt really bad for post-elimination -- he so clearly seemed the better chef and the better person. Of course, not...

Grandma update, Wednesday

Posted on May 21, 2008
I am relieved to be able to say that I'm pretty sure my next post won't need to be about my grandma, because things have stabilized to a point where I'm starting to resume thinking about and doing other things...

Grandma update, making good progress

Posted on May 18, 2008
Last two days she's thankfully been back to herself -- the delusions have passed out of her system, it was almost certainly due to the sedatives she was given during surgery -- and although day to day progress definitely continuing...

Grandma update, featuring a psychiatrist kind of having a panic attack

Posted on May 16, 2008
Another long, up and down day. We got to the hospital this morning and it was quite frightening -- my grandma was very agitated, trying to pull out her IV and get out of bed, insisting that the people in...

Grandma update, again

Posted on May 15, 2008
It helps me to write about this stuff, even if it's probably not terribly interesting to most people reading. But I feel like it helps me to process what's going on if I write, so I will. Long day, and...

Grandma, update

Posted on May 14, 2008
I should be sleeping. I think I was sleeping, but now I'm not. Unless I'm writing this in my sleep. I took the red-eye flight back to New York last night, landed at 6AM, got about 4 hours of sleep,...

Local News

Posted on May 13, 2008
I'm back in LA -- was just watching last night's How I Met Your Mother on the DVR, and there was a local news teaser that I really, really, really could not believe. I'm paraphrasing, but essentially: "Thousands die in...

Uh Oh

Posted on May 13, 2008
And just when I posted a picture of her on the blog... My grandma apparently just had a stroke, or a mini-stroke, or a transient ischemic attack that hopefully -- hopefully -- will resolve itself. I spoke to her on...

My Grandma Reviews: "Iron Man"

Posted on May 10, 2008
My grandma turned 92 yesterday. We didn't really get a chance to do anything to celebrate -- my mom came home from the hospital yesterday evening, and is doing pretty well... laparoscopic surgery seems an awful lot easier/faster to recover...

I Just Got a Request From a Reader...

Posted on May 10, 2008
...to post a photo of my grandma so you can put a face to her reviews, if you like. Here she is:

Long Day...

Posted on May 07, 2008
I'm in New York... kept half-wanting to post about this and half not wanting to, but my mom had surgery today so I flew home for that -- I wrote a couple of years ago about her breast cancer and...

Great Article...

Posted on May 05, 2008
...in this week's New Yorker, about chef Grant Achatz, molecular gastronomy, and the stage IV tongue cancer that has robbed him of his sense of taste. Reading this article is like watching a combination of Top Chef and Grey's Anatomy....
