Did anyone think the blog was a "must-read"? The nicest I would say is that I looked at it a couple of times, and may have once found it amusing. The whole thing seemed like a gripping depiction of law-firm life only for law students who don't know what they're getting into and are willing to listen to another law student if he tells a good tale.
Or do I just not appreciate a good satire?

As someone who went to school with the dude, he's a very nice guy, but he's not exactly my number one choice for being in synch with the cultural zeitgeist. For instance, I bet he's never even HEARD of Belle & Sebastian.
