've still got a few spring break-related posts I've gotta put up, but I want to take a break from that and put up something about a few things I've been wanting to comment on.

The death of Legal_badger.
I knew this was coming, but I was still greatly saddened to see the l_b shut down. Although the blog started as a way to anonymously poke fun at the school, students, administration, and pretty much everything about this place, it grew into something a little more. It was still funny and irreverent, but it also served to point out ridiculous things our school does, which was welcome. It also created its fair share of controversies, but we needed those to happen--even if some people overreacted and some had their comments misinterpreted. And let's not forget legal_badger's most important contribution: it gave Donnie a place to promote his ridiculous electronic bulletin board idea.

And, just for the record, neither I nor any of the people that went on spring break with me were legal_badger contributors.

The Wisconson Supreme Court election.
I've had the privilege of meeting Linda Clifford several times, and I know her to be an intelligent, hard-working, thoughtful woman. She would have made an excellent Supreme Court Justice. I was very saddened to see that Wisconsin chose to elect someone else.

A new Lovers of Sight and Sound project.
I've recently recorded a cover of a song called (I'd Go the) Whole Wide World by Wreckless Eric. I first heard the song in the movie Stranger than Fiction; it's the song Will Ferrell plays for the girl. Anyway, you can listen to my version here. Let me know what you think!

Excellent cover of (I'd Go the) Whole Wide World. Adelina and I were hooked on that song for like a month after seeing Stranger than Fiction :)
