The Leader of the Free World eats baloney sandwiches on wonder bread with doritos on the side. And he gets the Waldorf to make them special for him. Good God.

Two of my three favorite things about England collided when Saint Etienne put together a track built around Dr. Who sound effects for a never-completed Dr. Who remix album. As for the third favorite thing, it’
In exactly one month, I will be sitting down somewhere with 12,000 other terrified applicants to take the New York Bar Examination.

Going to Cali for my brother’s graduation in a lightening trip. Nearly 20% of the time away will be spent in airplanes, airports, or other modes of transcontinental transportation.

So the big Apple news tonight is that new ads for the iPhone have been broadcast tonight, showing of the UI and advertising the launch date for the device (in case you’re wondering, the launch date is June 29).
