Magic Johnson was the grand marshal of the Rose Parade today, and as someone who remembers his November 1991 HIV announcement: if you had told anybody that day that he would be alive and healthy 34+ years later, I don't think they would have believed you. Medicine and research—they work.

I wish I could just get sworn in on one of my own law school course outlines. They were all color-coded, written on lined paper with a giant pack of markers, fastened into binders … I’m not going to lie, they were pretty fabulous.

There's also an arrow pointing to the previous page so I was like "Aha, this connects to something there"

Writing is honestly so great. I just opened Scrivener and at the bottom of the draft is a note I made last night: "there's a severed head involved." How is the severed head involved? Well we're going to find out, aren't we? We're going to put some coffee and the record player on and find out.
